A wonderfully preserved Gilded Age mansion is poised to hit the market for $13.9 million as the glamorous homes from that period of time are back in the spotlight.
The grand 19th-century limestone residence is at 57 E. 74th St., between Park and Madison avenues. It’s one of seven on the historic block designed by noted architects Buchman and Deisler.

If I had the $14 MM the first thing I woold do when moved in is to throw away all the Modern art. I enjoy going to Gilded Age mansions in period clothing.

Yes, one can perhaps describe the Gilded Age as decadent, but they produced beautiful things unlike our own decadent age that embraces ugliness.

Agree. It was only the most productive and creative age in the history of mankind. More people were lifted from poverty than any other time in our history. All because of the “Robber Barons” that created the jobs.

"Yes, one can perhaps describe the Gilded Age as decadent, but they produced beautiful things unlike our own decadent age that embraces ugliness." Well, that's true isn't it.? Ugly cars and ugly people, both mentally and physically, are everywhere.

Almost no one knows what that word means. Especially journalists.

Seriously ? The vast majority of Americans were still well below the poverty line in 1890.

There has been a war on “beauty”, “pretty”, and the like for so long.

A trip to Walmart is discovering that they don’t really have all the lowest prices.

If that moronic socialist gets elected, the $13.9 million will be taken by him for a homeless/ immigrant housing spot...

Mamdami does not think owners of these properties should exist. He wants them to pay for free groceries for everyone else. I bet the property taxes will be 250k per year.

Guessing that horrid decor is staging by the real estate agent who is doing nothing to encourage a buyer.
