"Dragon head" Ace Preston | Photo 03 by ACE PRESTON

The mansion owned by Calvin Klein known as "Dragon Head" located on the dune roads of Southampton New York has been approved for demolition.

The oceanfront mansion is 50,000 square feet and sits on 11 acres of a $100,000+ a year property tax estate.
The house is to be replaced by a smaller 17,000 square foot modern design house which would blend into the dunes as Calvin Klein goes green in this multimillion dollar project.

The "Chesterton" was the first house built on this site in 1926 by the Duponts. Calvin Klein purchased the home which had gone through various restructures in 2003 for $28.9 million.
Dragon Head at the time was believed to have been the largest in Southampton until Ira Rennert built a house twice it's size in Sagaponack with 100,000 square feet. The White House stands at only 55,000 square feet when compared to this behemoth.
