[font size=5]Bill O'Reilly jolts L.I. neighbors by tearing down classic cottage to make way for a mansion[/font]


Bill O’Reilly has been known for demolishing guests on “The O’Reilly Factor,” but his latest tear-down has the entire East End reeling.

The frequently fuming Fox News host recently purchased a charming 1940s seaside cottage that was believed to be the last of its kind, then razed it last month, reports The News’ real estate editor Matt Chaban.

“At this point, it was so unique, I can’t even remember the last time something like it was torn down,” says Theresa Eurell, a life-long resident and broker at Town & Country Real Estate who had the listing on the 1.5-acre property. ....

He already has begun pouring foundations for a new home, being built by the [FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: yellow"]notorious McMansion[/FONT] developer the Farrell Building Co. ....

The cottage was notable not just for being the last of its kind. Built during World War II by James Abbe, a successful magazine photographer, and his wife, Kathryn, it was small because of the rationing of materials. It’s budget was a mere $700 (not a bad profit, then, 70 years later).

The home used salvaged materials, including beams from the demolished estate of the Dominys, handymen brothers who were the East End’s most admired carpenters in the 18th century. Other pieces came from old sailing ships. The house was unheated until the end. ....

Locals are also worried about how their new neighbor will behave once he is done building on this prominent bend in the Old Montauk Highway — especially since his boss, Fox News Channel chief Roger Ailes, is notorious for reportedly terrorizing his neighbors in upstate Putnam County.

“It remains to be seen if the home will be as [font size=5][FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: yellow"]outsized and out-of-place[/FONT][/font] as he is,” said one local of O’Reilly.
