'Box Kite' Moved Closer To Dune Road

The house is currently being restored.

Those driving down Dune Road recently may have done a double take as they passed the diamond-shaped building, known as the The Pearlroth House or the Box Kite — It was moved a few feet closer to Dune Road.

The 600 square-foot, 54-year-old house was relocated, according to a Newsday article, last week as part of a renovation.

According to a website dedicated to the house, once the restoration is complete, the house, which was designed by architect Andrew Gelle, will be open as a museum with tours available by appointment.
