James Alfred Roosevelt Estate, also known as Yellowbanks, is a historic estate at Cove Neck in Nassau County, New York, several hundred feet west of Sagamore Hill, the home of President Theodore Roosevelt. It was designed by architect Bruce Price in 1881 as a summer home for James A. Roosevelt, an uncle of Theodore Roosevelt, and was later occupied by Emlen Roosevelt. The house is a Shingle Style building, rectangular in massing, two and a half to three stories high, with a gambrel roof.
