Exploring the Gilded Age Mansions Off Fifth Avenue

Often overlooked, the Gilded Age mansions off Fifth Avenue that still stand today now serve as private clubs, consulates, art galleries, and one as the Ralph Lauren men’s flagship store. Join FRIENDS and tour guide Ginny Poleman for a walking tour and hear stories about Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt’s home with his mother, Jack Astor’s final supper in New York City, the mansion that was never lived in, and more. View vintage photographs from the past and compare them to today’s Upper East Side.
