Richard Gere’s former New Canaan estate was demolished after its sale last year. The historic 1938 manor was replaced by plans for nine luxury homes. A salvage team rescued architectural elements before the demolition occurred. These salvaged items included libraries, mantels, and doorways for resale. The original house, with its rich history, is now gone forever. Richard Gere’s former New Canaan estate was demolished after its sale last year.
