NYC Walking Tour: Mansions of Millionaire's Row Art and Architecture

If you love history, architecture, and juicy gossip of high society, this is the tour for you! Since the early days of the United States, 5th Avenue has been a desired address. However, since the creation of Central Park, 5th Avenue became the elite address where the rich and famous hired the greatest architects to compete over who could outdo their peers. The Great families of the nineteenth century are all well-represented, including the Astors, Vanderbilts, Rockefellers, and Guggenheims. Stories from the era will put the antics of the Kardashians to shame as America dove headfirst into the industrial age, bringing unimaginable wealth to a world brimming with excitement of electricity, skyscrapers, and motor vehicles. We are left with a 100+ years of art, gossip, and hilarity.
