The palatial and ornate Manhattan mansions depicted on the hit HBO series ‘The Gilded Age’ once existed, but almost all have been demolished

HBO’s hit series “The Gilded Age,” set in 1880s Manhattan, was filmed at a number of historic mansions dating back to the famously ostentatious era. But most are located in Newport, R.I., or Troy, N.Y., according to an HBO spokeswoman—virtually no filming took place in Manhattan.

Why? Because the palatial Gilded Age mansions of New York City have almost completely vanished. Starting around 1880, New Yorkers built some of the largest and most elaborate houses the country had ever seen. On Fifth Avenue, Riverside Drive and elsewhere in the city stood free-standing homes modeled after European palaces, some with more than 100 rooms and spanning entire city blocks. Yet within a few decades, virtually all of these massive houses had been demolished.

There isn't any free labor to keep them up anymore.

I follow them globally and not just the so-called Gilded Age but the Gilt Estate in London and elsewhere on Earth where you follow the money and power, the people can be better understood and the governments, academia, and stakeholders/shareholders who control the population.🎯

Stay informed

What a pity!! They were magnificent!

Magnificent

What a shame to destroy them, that’s one area where this country really fails.

Just like that, going alone, discovering new lands by yourself is sometimes good
