Nancy (Boyd) Willey

Wright went back to the drawing board, ultimately creating what was the first 'art home', a design copied across the Midwest as a middle class house and thereby securing his reputation as the greatest living American architect.

[4] It was Wright's template for Usonia, which is now known as the AMERICAN RANCH Style House, which, partly due to the enthusiasm of Nancy Willey, that spark of creativity lit the way for his final period of architectural triumphs.

While there, she and Josephine Bassett decided to save the old Custom House from demolition, and succeeded in moving the structure to Main Street, where it was placed on the NRHP.

[citation needed] She created the Old Sagg-Harbor committee, a collection of environmentalists and preservationists dedicated to protect the views of Sag that her mother had painted.

The Annie Cooper Boyd House was the foundation of the Old Sagg-Harbour Committee, also the environmental group Sag Harbor Conservation and Planning Alliance (CAPA).

This ecological conservation group saved Little Northwest Creek and wetlands from developers, and worked to preserve Barcelona Neck, home of the Grace Estate.
