20 Most Amazing MANSIONS of the GILDED AGE

😭

Rosecliff is my favorite !!!
💜💜💜💜💜
All of the homes are very impressive!!!

PLEASE CORRECT the Clayton House is in Pittsburgh (with an H).

Rosecliff is the only house of all included here, that offers a "balance of Ego with Architecture" offering a desirable inviting environment without gaudy, encroaching, distracting, elements of Architecture and Decor.

Frank Lloyd Wright was quite correct when referring to the "Interior Decorators as Inferior Desecrators" and their influence upon Architects resulted in Gilded Gaudy Architecture.

The desirable clarity of clean lines perfected in Ancient Greece Architecture has only been improved uoon by the works of Frank Lloyd Wright and a small circle of his Peers in the 20th Century.

Other works reflect the drama of the Human Lower Mind, aka Ego Mind, aka Adolescent Mind, and the experience of living in them would be influenced by the same.

I thoroughly enjoyed watching the video. My husband and I have visited a number of these homes and others are on the bucket list. It was fun to be reminded of the ones we've visited. We lived in North Carolina and have visited Biltmore a number of times. It's truly magnificent and enjoyable year round. It's located in Asheville, which is a destination in its own right.

Amazing you didn't include Mara Lago, the grand Florida estate built by the Post family. Hello????

What has the clickbait thumb to do with the video, this is what ebeggers do when they have stolen content from others and hope to trick viewers, l simply block the channel without watching and i would all others to do the same.

My favorite mansion came just after the Gilded Age and no longer exists. It was called Whitemarsh Hall and built in 1921 on 300 acres in Wyndmoor, Pennsylvania by Edward Stotesbury. It was so beautiful and the gardens so extensive that it was called the American Versailles.

I have toured the Biltmore mansion four times. I wish l could have gone during Christmas 🎄 lt is beautiful in the pictures love seen.

Cool but kinda sickening that some people just had to build gigantic mansions to live in so that they could feel as though the rest of us were just fleas

All these Gilded manors were constructed with cheap immigrant craftsman labor. The best craftsman of the world came to the USA for a new life and lent their labor to the creation of these homes. This level of quality would be prohibitively expensive today except for the most wealthy, which is why most mega mansions are basically prefabs.

I kep thinking you were saying 'Elves' instead of 'Elms'.

BILTMORE BLOWS YOU OFF YOUR BUTT!

Went to the marble houde in Newport,each chair at the dinner table was made bronze and weighd 150 pounds a piece, pure gluttony of wealth

So, they all wanted to build themselves hotels. Weird flex

Perhaps one day, in another great video, you will include Branford House and the whole estate of Morton F. Plant. It is located at Avery Point, Groton, CT and is now a campus of the University of Connecticut.

The majority of society in Britain lived in poverty and squaller during “the gilded age”. I hate these vile mansions. They are a symbol of complete slavery.

I am a Reserve Officer, and my small section had a training mission at the Reserve Center at Newport, RI. On our time off, I took my small section of men, to the tours of the mansions. We were in awe of great success, of hard working, smart working, successful men.

I have been on a golden age kick lately. My biggest take away is these people who created the original wealth were so hard. It amazes me how the second and third generadid not inherit the same Work ethic and alsoh how subsequent generations sell it off like it was meaningless. It makes you realize the need for a very detailed will. Which includes what happens to the property after your death.

“Gilded Age” aka old world tartaria mudflood leftovers

You firgit duponts winterthur

Crazy how old architecture is better than modern architecture

Why were there so many rooms ?

Sound like AI :)

Lynnewood Hall is missing. The residence of the Wideners…a MUST!!!

Maybe not the grandest nor the largest it remains, at least for me, the most elegant of all the Gilded Age mansions.

It’s Pittsburgh, not Pittsburg 🙃

Very beautiful. I want to visit theVanderbilt Mansions🎉

How many are haunted ? With some kind of proof!( ie; recorded voices, tapping, ect.? With a team of ghost hunters, including or made up as sceptics?

What's going on with the Winchester mansion? Still building?( To keep the spirits guessing?)

Was hoping to see Stan Hywet in Akron, Ohio built for F.A. Sieberling the co-founder of Goodyear.

Cheekwood in Nashville TN, is Fabulous and well Preserved. I believe 1932, but well woth a Tour or Venue for a Wedding.
My self, I supply Palms Boxwoods and Hydrangeas for Weddings and Exclusive Parties at our Newport Rhode Island Mansions 🍃🌴

I used to be friends with Gary Melius. He owns and lives at OHEKA Castle. We had a falling out a few years ago back in 2006. He was a VERY GOOD MAN. I still miss him.😊

Having a hooker on the front cover was a click bite.

Where are the bathrooms? I always wondered that after I discovered that the Palace of Versailles had no bathrooms.

I love you so. I miss you so

hello Gilded Age Family
Brethren and Daughters and
All Lady. Billionaire. What
ever happen you know ❤+

I wish I was born into one of wealthy peoples familys . Such luxrury I could only dream of . I love these type of mansions . The vanderbilt in Asheville one is gorgeous ! ❤

Why didn’t you mention where each of the Family earned their money?

I lived in Newport, RI during the mid 1970’s and seen many of the mansions via school trips! As much as I loved the Breakers, I still love Biltmore even more to this day! I’m only about a little over an hour from Asheville down in South Carolina! Ya’ll come see us! ❤

The Moody Mansion in Galveston, Texas still has a special apeal to me.

Can't you see this is the remainings of a past civilisation?

With the technology available in the early 1900s/late 1800s - even if you had unlimited amounts of money - you can't just pick up the phone and get this done. Nor could you today, cause no one knows how to build this way. Who built all of this? The same goes everywhere else where this kind of architechture is in place.

The Carson Queen Anne Victorian is my dream home!!! Perfection!!!

The Hearst Castle

eVERYONE WAKING UP TO THE DRAMA, tHESE TALL BUILDING WERE ALREADY HERE. THE MUDFLOW AND OTHER CIVILATIONS THAT WERE HERE, BEFORE THE EUROPEAN CAME OVER. True history is to say the lands of this earth were once connected. So much history about this eart is a trip, could we be on a ship?

My long term partner and I visited Newport in the late 1980s and we toured each of the Newport homes featured in the video. They were amazing, each remarkable and unique. One thing I always recalled about The Elms: the garden had one of the beautiful beech trees I have ever seen.

I like the Marble House the best. I must admit, if it were mine, I'd have more modern Furniture throughout. Sacrilege, I know 😅

I've been to the Newport mansions 5 times now. They still take my breath away everytime. I'm from the UK but have family in Jamestown
