Willowmere

Willowmere, also known as Pearsall House, is a historic home located at Roslyn Harbor in Nassau County, New York. It was originally constructed about 1750 as a 2+12-story, gambrel-roofed dwelling with a five-bay front facade. It was expanded in 1893. It was the property of Admiral Aaron Ward (1851-1918), a rose lover.[2] The portico was added in 1926, when the house was renovated to the Colonial Revival style.[3]
