Continuing on from where we left off last week with the first part of the Vanderbilt Residences, today, we explore the Vanderbilt’s branch of the family that built principally in the second half of the twentieth century.
If like me you’d like to know more about the Vanderbilt family I recommend the video Nothing Left Unsaid: Gloria Vanderbilt and Anderson Cooper. Now lose yourself in the twilight of Gilded Age.
