residence, Neo-Gothic (architecture), historical layer / disappeared object
Built in 1883, the mansion was, and remains, the largest private residence ever built in New York City.
Vanderbilt died of a stroke in 1899, his wife Alice lived in the home with her 37 servants. However the maintenance of both the mansion and The Breakers in Newport RI, was too much. She sold the mansion to developers in 1926.
Once the mansion was demolished, it was replaced by the Bergdorf Goodman department store. After selling the home for $7,000,000, she bought the George J. Gould House for $800,000.
