True crime fans with a flair for modern architecture are in luck: the Department of Justice will soon list the Arc House in East Hampton, N.Y.

The 6,400-square-foot home at 50 Green Hollow Road, which sits on more than two acres, was owned by Jessica Meli, wife of Joseph Meli, a New York businessman who pleaded guilty last year to defrauding investors. He was embroiled in one of the various Broadway ticket scams that coincided with the astronomical rise of Hamilton.
