Extraordinary home. It is a shame that the likely end of this estate will be its conversion into subdivided pedestrian homes of a few million, each. These historic homes should be preserved as reminders of the American dream. Woolworth earned his reward; at least, in this realm. One has to wonder if it was worth it.

'Development opportunity' and 'residential enclave.' In other words a tear down for cheap condos.

[@missmiming]

I really hope they don’t have to go on that route.

[@bridgettedavenport8960]

It’s a shame that Winfield wasn’t sold to someone a long time ago who’d ensure it’s upkeep.. hopefully it’s not torn down and instead given the life it deserves.. hopefully the current owners at least did the necessary repairs after the fire there a few years back.. very sad..

[@sunshinesunshine94]

So Sad ....seen so many beautiful Castle / Mansions JUST like this beautiful masterpiece fall into truly unrecognizable dilapidated piles of crumbling memories, It's ALMOST truly one of a kind left, It's so hard with the NECESSARY EVERYDAY upkeep of a place like this, I feel so sad for it sitting all by itself just WAITING and TRUSTING that whoever is fortunate and lucky enough to reside in it will care for it, Smh....so sad

Now this is when American architecture reached its zenith! Gorgeous home! For a moment I was wondering if this was the house used in the 1980's movie "Annie" (as that house was also owned by the Woolworth Family).

The Neptun fauntain 😍😍 im so in love .

[@stevejohnson2108]

Extraordinary but who will buy it and renovate it? It needs millions and then don't forget where it is. NY. Taxes, taxes, taxes.

What a beautiful house!! a true home, would love to have it.......

[@deloreskelley2330]

So many big homes I have seen abandoned and it is so sad what happens if I can't pay the taxes so they just up and leave or something Stranger Than That like one of the investors from the Titanic had a mansion there in New York tourettes it's empty Hereafter year such a huge big place I've never seen anything like it what happened today just die off or leave

[@surfmotor]

Yeah the rich business man dies and leaves it to his family who has no idea how to maintain or afford a house like this. Youd need to bring in at least 50 mill a year to afford this place. Most trust fund families cant afford that. Only a few

[@kathyrobertson4493]

Woa

[@boboneill6554]

They are an ego trip and cost too much to maintain. Whether there are enough rich people who would keep up these places remains to be seen. It is handsome and it would be great if it could survive.

[@14Daysin]

why does it cost too much to maintain? It's just a house like any other house.. just bigger.. if you dont use the rooms.. they dont get dirty

[@boboneill6554]

@@14Daysin 32,000 sq feet requires servants inside and out to maintain. Property taxes. Utilities. Repairs: it’s old and there will be on going issues. Inflation and other taxes. It needs someone very rich. Will their income be sufficient ten years down the line? They will probably have other homes as well.

[@judyimel5697]

Wow

[@Rainy_Day12234]

There should be tax benefits for owning these treasures.

[@surfmotor]

You mean on top of all the tax shielding someone whos this rich already does? They would use this house as a money Launder to begin with.

[@prettynerd4779]

I heard this place is cursed.. Like something has gone wrong for every person who has owned it.. Nope, you can keep it

[@suejaracz585]

Did Winfield Hall sell at the auction?

[@Hossak]

Blank space mansion :)

This would be great for Harry & Meghan! 👑

New York?.... No Thank You!
