Episode #84: Hyde Park’s Vanderbilt Mansion: Building a Gilded Age House
Carl is joined by curator Frank Futral for a special on-location visit to the Vanderbilt Mansion in New York’s Hudson Valley.
Built for Frederick Vanderbilt and his wife Lousie by the legendary firm McKim, Mead and White, the mansion is a work of art itself combining classic Beaux Arts style with unique and rare architectural elements brought from Europe.
Frank takes Carl on a room-by-room tour of the mansion to explain just how this magnificent house was built and just how it is very different from the great mansions of Newport.
Carl is joined by special guest:
— Frank Futral, the curator of the Roosevelt-Vanderbilt National Historic Sites in Hyde Park New York.
