Floorplans for Gilded Age Mansions.

Yes yes, I know this is a SKYSCRAPER Forum. But well, I know of no other place with achetecturally minded individuals who can appreciate what must be some of the most amazing homes ever built!

I have over the years collected a large range of Floorplans, and I like ot think that looking at them aginst the layouts of modern "Mega Mansions" show just how much htings have changed in terms of what the Rich like to do with money...

Want to start by posting two of my all time favorite. The absolutely MASSIVE "Breakers. And the plans to Vanderbilts New York Mansion.
