Enormous mansions of Long Island's North Shore, nicknamed the Gold Coast, once represented America's largest concentration of wealth. From 1890 to 1930, the richest New Yorkers hired leading architects and landscape designers to build estates within 40 miles of New York City. At Oheka Castle, Planting Fields and Old Westbury Gardens, cost was no obstacle. Some families only kept the house for one generation. Several mansions are open to the public today - have a look at their past and present.

Thank you, Amazing story. I was raised on 320 acres in Colorado. There wasn't any Mansion. Oh, but what freedom I had to roam any direction with my dog. Never see a human, find amazing plants, see Wildlife, and gaze at the Rockies. I loved that feeling... Freedom!

I had a blessed childhood living next door to the Vanderbilt Eagle's Nest estate. The whole area there was magical. I used to love walking down Little Neck Road in the winter in the snow, which sparkled like diamonds in the lights. One of our favorite summertime activities was driving around Eaton's Neck to Sand City and being mischievous teenagers at the beach and boating. Our neighbors had horses. I loved them! There are too many fantastic stories to tell here. My aunt still lives there nearby our old home.

If you want to know a great story. Approximately 10 years ago I went to an auction here in Pennsylvania where an auction company got a hold of the contents of a demolished mansion on Long Island from years ago. Sitting on the table was a massive turn of the century Nippon Palace urn made of porcelain and hand-painted, very elaborate. It had damage to the base. Nobody knew what it was but I knew what it was since I'm a porcelain expert. I got it for my starting bid of a mere $300 because of the damage. I put it on the internet and a millionaire from Japan was bidding against a millionaire Palm Beach Florida both were Nippon collectors for only the best of Nippon. They both purchased off of me in the past. Even though it was damaged it's still fetched $7000. That was my best Nippon story but not my best antique porcelain story. ❤

It was a magnificient Elizabethan Tudor mansions in North Hills of Manhasset on the Gold Coast, the Brady mansion, built in 1921, I still remember such beauty of architecture and the grounds, amazing. Even though it is gone, wish you would include in this segment. So important part of Long Island history.

*The Gold Coast Mansions* -- i.e. *the* " *Before federal income tax homes!* " All joking aside, those that remain are gorgeous! [The 16th Amendment to the US Constitution (ratified 1913) brought the federal income tax and the I.R.S. into existence] I am glad that Oheka was restored. Coe Hall and the Planting Fields Arboretum State Historic Park (Oyster Bay, L.I., NY) are fabulous! Old Westbury Museum and Gardens are amazing! As Long Island became more popular as a place for well-to-do NYC city residents to have a summer and (at times used as) weekend homes more and more of the original, local, fishing villages along the shore and the farming villages inland became enclaves servicing the elite. To this day in places like the Hamptons, individual families still let out rooms to tourists from NYC. After WW2, Levittown, Hicksville and other developments became places for the middle class to leave the city.

Then came the Civil War and five more after that. Now we have tons of young men dying of gunshot wounds on home soil. We gotta do much better than that.

@kandis5576 2 месяца назад

it is the wealthy (and successful) that built and enhanced the infrastructure throughout cities around the US. In 2021, the latest year with available data, the top 1 percent of income earners earned 26 percent of all income and paid 46 percent of all federal income taxes - more than the bottom 95 percent combined (33 percent). Those that sacrificed and worked themselves to the top are the people that provide the jobs. They created and should be given credited for the industrial revolution than benefited all of us. My thoughts are it took decades for MANY of the wealthy to realize (get a conscious) and begin to share some their wealth. Peoples consciousness changed and matures with time. As of 2020, there are more philanthropists than ever before. Each year they give tens of billions to charitable causes. The US is a young country, but has flourished and grown faster in character as well as innovation and civilly and success, more than an other country before it. This is a complex subject but it is not fair to EXPECT or DEMAND the rich share their wealth with those less fortunate.

At the turn of the century, the Comstock laws prevented abortions and birth control. Both were illegal. Margaret Sanger a nurse to the New York City poor, delivered babies and cared for mothers who were experiencing poverty and constant pregnancy. She introduced birth control by challenging the law and she changed the law. Margaret Sanger was acclaimed by grateful women. The numbers of children and their mothers began a reduction of homeless. 21:17

In fact, an entire row of mansions were knocked down - some dating from the early 19th century - on one stretch of the shorefront in order to create a peoples park in stead!

In this 'Golden Age' of Extravagant Capitalism and Unlimited Wealth (No Income Taxes Yet), The Upper Class an private train cars parked in the Depot Yard. When they wanted to visit their 'Country House' or whatever, they would have their servants (legal domestic slaves) load up on food and beverages, pack their bags, and ride in their deluxe horse carriages to their private deluxe train wagon, and ride in luxury to the super-superb 'Summer House' on the Ocean, and 'Life Was Good'...

Anne Boleyn did grow up in Hever Castle. However, she never reigned as queen of England, her daughter Queen Elizabeth I did for 46 years. Anne was Henry VIII's 2nd queen consort & only for two and a half years (1533-1536) before she was beheaded. To say that Anne reigned as queen of England is laughable. She was never queen regnant, she was queen consort, she was not monarch, hence she never reigned/rule.
