THE GILDED AGE
The era of great house-building in New York lasted
approximately 50 years, beginning with the opening of the
Vanderbilt House in 1882 and theoretically ending in the first
years after the Great Depression. The inherent concepts behind
these buildings, however, extended far longer. This was due to
the fact that practically all the major architects of New York
attended the L’École des Beaux-Arts in Paris, where they
learned how to reproduce the various architectural styles of
Europe.
