COMMENT: Which of these “old money” Manhattan Mansions do you believe is the most breathtaking?
Imagine I live in walking distance to 3 of these mansions
I like them all & I like your voice. Happy holidays!
Happy holidays!
Personal favourite is the Bailey Mansion in Harlem. Everything about it is both theatrical and downright gorgeous, particularly the splendid interior. The recent interior renovation is totally breath taking. I'd live there is an instant!! Thank you for another of your excellent Gilded Age videos.
The Hamilton house.
I've seen most of these homes and been in a number of them. It's a pity that except for the Frick mansion, none of the Gilded Age mansions actually are shown as they were when they were lived in. After calling the Schinasi mansion the last free-standing home in Manhattan, you show the free-standing Bailey mansion. I have to say that the best expansion of a house has to be the doubling of the size of theWarburg house for the museum's needs. Also the Pulitzer, Whitney, Kahn , and Philip Lehman mansions could/should be on this list.
Love the first one. Forgot the name. Are all these still standing today?
Yup!
The fact that there are very few interior shots gives me the sinking feeling that most have been gutted and 'yuppified'.
The most spectacular of them all was the Charles Schwab house. Look at old pictures of Pittsburgh and hold onto your jaw. In 1906 the United States overtook the entire British Empire as the world's largest economy, and Pittsburgh was ground zero of that industrial supremacy. The world's dirtiest city burning the candle at both ends 24/7/365. You'd never guess it to see the place today.
I was hoping to see inside the huge mansion. Some people had too much money back then. 🤢
To my knowledge #4 is NOT a Vanderbilt mansion. They had many up and down Fifth Avenue but this was not one of them.
Yes and no. You’re correct in that they are not mansions, but twin townhouses. But, they are Vanderbilt buildings. George Vanderbilt had them built to prevent commercial buildings from being built on the lot (it’s diagonal to a Vanderbilt mansion). One was leased out and another was the home of a Vanderbilt, so it was a Vanderbilt residence, but neither were opulent mansions. The one that was leased out was bought (by the leasee, I think) and ended up being sold back to the Vanderbilts, who sold it to Cartier (after George had died). So, while not a Vanderbilt mansion, it is a Vanderbilt building in which a Vanderbilt took residence.
Regarding the Vanderbilts, they were not “old money” rather, they were the “nouveau riche.”
