"Mrs. Astor's Fifth Avenue", Secret Splendors of the Gilded Age


Please take a look at one of the lectures I give, " Mrs. Astor's Fifth Avenue, Secret Splendors of the Gilded Age". This talk  will give the audience a tour of the mansions that once lined New York City's, fashionable Fifth Avenue. During the Gilded Age you were not really anyone , unless you had a mansion along Fifth Avenue, which was also called, Two Miles of Millionaires.
