To illustrate Gatsby's Gothic mansion in West Egg, Insua needed to conjure up a grandiose, almost vulgar house built in the 1920s in the colonial style. For reference, as well as various Hotels de Ville and a couple of chateaux, he used a Sands Point waterfront home that was once owned by Mary Harriman Rumsey, a railroad heiress whose brother, W. Averell Harriman, was governor of New York. F. Scott Fitzgerald spent some time there with his friend, Rumsey, learning about "the lifestyle of the moneyed aristocracy of Old Westport, Long Island, and their involvement in the movement of eugenics," according to a 2015 article in the F. Scott Fitzgerald Review. Neighbours included the Vanderbilts and the Guggenheims!
 
"...a colossal affair by any standard--it was a factual imitation of some Hotel de Ville in Normandy, with a tower on one side, spanking new under a thin beard of raw ivy, and a marble swimming pool and more than forty acres of lawn and garden... There was music from my neighbor's house through the summer nights. In his blue garden men and girls came and went like moths among the whisperings and the champagne and the stars."
- F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby
