How wonderful to see this masterpiece being preserved! So rich in history. Stories of life there in the Gilded Age in the book "Fortune's Children: The Fall of the House of Vanderbilt' help bring it alive-- even better stuff than in Downton Abbey!

the channel "this house" has done a video on this house and it looks amazing now. It is open to the public through private tours, but it has been fully restored and looks beautiful! I think its great that there are people out there that have the money and they are willing to put it into saving such a cool piece of history! Well done!
