The home that inspired F. Scott Fitzgerald to write eternal high school English class assignment 'The Great Gatsby' has been torn down, according to reports.

It was a grand mansion on Long Island's North Shore. 'Lands End' was built by a newspaper publisher in 1902.

For a period of time during the '20s, Fitzgerald lived across the bay from Lands End. He would watch the lavish, celebrity-filled parties that would take place within its confines. He later incorporated many of these observations into 'The Great Gatsby.' I wonder if he got to attend any of those parties later in his life?
