Inisfada was the Manhasset, Long Island, estate of Nicholas and Genevieve Brady, a papal duke and duchess. The name was Gaelic for "Long Island". After the death of the duchess, it was left to a Jesuit order. For many decades it was known as the St. Ignatius Retreat House. Despite efforts to preserve the mansion by preservation groups and activists, it was controversially demolished in 2013 after being sold to a Hong Kong-based development company.
