The school allows for filming during the summer months when classes aren’t in session, and movies like Batman Forever and Great Expectations and shows such as Person of Interest, Gotham, The OA, Madam Secretary and more have all been filmed there. If you watch a lot of TV and movies, you may actually already be familiar with the mansion. Shortly after, their estate was sold to the Webb Institute for use as their new campus, and the school relocated there from the Bronx in 1945. The Braes was built in 1912 (just nine years after the Pratts tore down their original estate which they apparently didn’t like very much), and the Pratts lived there for about 30 years until Mr. Said mansion is “The Braes”, the former home of Herbert Pratt, whose father was one of the founders of Standard Oil. Recently, I had the opportunity to tour the Webb Institute, a tiny engineering school housed in an old mansion right on the Long Island Sound in Glen Cove, NY.
