Album Info:
Alva taught the Vanderbilt family how to spend their fortune by building mansions and palaces to live in the style of European royalty, which they could well afford. In 1879 her fancy dress ball for the grand opening of 660 Fifth Avenue, the French chateau designed by Alva and Richard Morris Hunt to outshine anything in the neighborhood, brought the Vanderbilts into New York/Newport society, so long guarded by Mrs. Astor and the Old Family Knickerbockers.

Wow! I have a 400 foot driveway and this would sure class up my entranceway. If you could see my simple ranch, you'd be rolling on the floor with laughter.
