A Gilded Age Mansion at 4 East 79th Street Is Asking $68 Million
Built at the turn of the 20th century for James E. Nichols and designed by C.P.H. Gilbert, 4 East 79th Street has lived several lives: private Gilded Age mansion, crime scene, diplomatic address, subdivided residence, and ultimately a painstakingly reconstructed single-family home.
A 4-Acre Private Island Compound With an 1880s Summer House, 3 Cottages and a Boathouse, Listed for $4 Million
Sport Island sits in New York’s Thousand Islands, the St. Lawrence River archipelago along the Canadian border that became one of the Gilded Age’s fashionable summer destinations. Built around 1880 for a prominent Pennsylvania railroad-industrialist family, the property has since undergone a substantial partial restoration.
