The mansions built during America’s “Gilded Age” came in all shapes and sizes, but a significant number of them were inspired by - some may say copied from - a varied selection of classic English houses. They were all resurrected and lived in by an eclectic mix of millionaires, all with their own aims and ambitions staked within. Through the splendour of the architecture on both sides of the Atlantic we’ll dive into the characters, quirks and stories behind these truly international treasures; and, we’ll discover that in almost every case - though centuries apart and unbeknownst to them - the builders of the English and the American houses shared remarkably similar backstories.
