In 1893, Cornelius Vanderbilt II completed the largest private home ever built in New York City—a limestone château with 137 rooms, six stories, and more grandeur than any palace in America.
By 1927, it was gone.
This is the story of how one of history’s greatest fortunes created a monument designed to last forever—and why it vanished in less than half a century.
From its construction under Richard Morris Hunt to its shocking demolition for Bergdorf Goodman, this documentary explores the rise, fall, and haunting legacy of the lost Vanderbilt Mansion.
Because even the grandest monuments to wealth are temporary.
