The president’s anti-hacking penalties against Russia include closing two compounds, one of which The Washington Post identified as a 14-acre Glen Cove estate the Soviets bought in 1954.

The White House said both the New York compound and one in Maryland will be shuttered as of noon on Friday; the statement did not identify the specific properties.

The Post said the Obama administration would shut down Russian-owned facilities in Maryland and New York that Obama said were used for intelligence.

The newspaper reported U.S. officials would not confirm the location of the New York compound, saying only that it was a 14-acre property on Long Island that had been purchased by the Soviet government in 1954. Two Long Island estates are owned by the Russians, including the Glen Cove property, neither of which was purchased in 1954.
