The Clapham-Stern House – also known as Wenlo and originally as Stone House – is a historic mansion located within the Incorporated Village of Roslyn Harbor in Nassau County, New York.
Description The house is an asymmetrical, -story dwelling that rests on a full basement. It consists of a main block with wings to the north and south, a tower, and a piazza wrapping around the south and west sides. It is constructed of rough-faced gray Greenwich granite accented by limestone. It has a moderately pitched hipped slate roof with copper cresting. ()
The property also contains a contributing bathhouse, dating to the 1920s.
History The house was originally built between 1868 and 1872 and turned into a premier estate in 1906 after being purchased by department store magnate Benjamin Stern.
After a major fire in 1960, the house was returned to a High Victorian Gothic style.
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2005.
