    America has a great tradition of businessmen philanthropy, wish there was more of it in Canada.

      It’s really a ruse. Don’t believe them when they say they are “philanthropists”.

    If only the "Historic Preservation" Commission of Hillsborough, NJ had the same understanding of the Duke family and valued the beauty of the mansion there. It is sad and tragic that the Duke Farms Foundation was allowed to level the Duke Mansion at Duke Farms.

    History IS an important factor in the challenges every generation does and will encounter. However, no more prevalent than today, does the most important point remain than, "reality of that history in the ethics of it's facts". Without the facts, it is merely a relic and promotion of "self-interest tradition" -
    Dig up and place out front - the "SOCIAL and ECONOMIC FACTS" for our children to know and use as guides to their important and society's necessary decisions.

    Did Doris Duke ever own it? Her name was never mentioned directly.

      I think that Doris Duke was one of the Tobacco family who owned the last private house,1009 5th Avenue.

      The house was sold when Doris was still a teenager, very soon after James Duke's death.

    Funny how the family's of these types of houses wants to get out of owning them. Waste of money then and to much cost now. Even the wealthy fall eventually.

    Lots of decadence for a few, while many are homeless and starving.

      So the benefits of success belong to the homeless and starving? Please look at Russia and formerly-Communist Europe to see what happens when wealth earned by a few is "re-distributed" to the masses......
