And I've made three trips to another house for another year-old post only to keep discovering the sidewalk bridge for construction next door it still up. Little things that have frustrated my UES posts! <br /><br />BUT on my last trip to the Hope Mansion I managed to get a few other houses shot, so you should see a return to the UES!<br />Tom Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13542224816886418433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7502312000087595701.post-50293235892301993602015-12-13T19:35:44.985-08:002015-12-13T19:35:44.985-08:00Fantastic post, as usual, Tom! This and the previo...Fantastic post, as usual, Tom! This and the previous post are the first Upper East side articles I've seen in months. Thanks for bringing us back to the world of the Upper East Side mansions! Most people with a basic knowledge of Gilded Age New York have no idea of how many great houses have survived the bulldozer in the Big Apple. They think that because most of the 5th Ave. mansions are gone that there are very few grand NYC residences still intact (many books on the Gilded Age give that false impression). In fact, there are probably 400 or more mansions left on the side streets between East 61st Street and East 96th Street - at least if you count the earlier brownstone townhouses. Add to that the survivors on Fifth, Park and Madison, together with the dozens upon dozens of architectural gems one finds in Murray Hill, the 50s blocks, the Upper West Side and Greenwich Village, and you have more surviving great houses in New York than you'll find in ANY city in America (and that's not counting places like Park Slope and Riverdale in the boroughs). When it comes to urban Gilded Age mansions, New York is still second to none in America. <br /><br />Titanic Bill Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
