Mansion linked to 'Great Gatsby' razed

Criminal.
==========================

A Long Island mansion said to have inspired F. Scott Fitzgerald in writing his classic American novel "The Great Gatsby" has poured its last drink, rolled up the dance floor and kicked out the guests for good. No more parties, no more gazing out of windows. Heck, no more windows. The once-elegant mansion has been razed.

A planned demolition took place this week, but not before writer Christine Lee Zilka rushed out with her camera to capture the home's last moments.
