The eastern end of Long Island, New York, is famous for Modern houses by Richard Meier, Charles Gwathmey, and Gordon Bunshaft, among others. Each of these architects designed odes to the summer vacation early in their careers, their experiments encouraged by affluent clients and dramatic views characteristic of the area. The East End has been a summer colony since the late-19th century when, notably, McKim, Mead & White were designing Shingle Style cottages here. Stanford White's Montauk Association houses, built in the 1880s according to a site plan by Frederick Law Olmsted, are one famous example.
