Step back into the golden era of Long Island’s Gold Coast, where America’s wealthiest families once built colossal mansions that rivaled Europe’s grandest palaces. In this episode of This House, Ken takes you on a fascinating journey to explore nine of these incredible estates—including Joseph Raphael De Lamar’s Pembroke, Henry P. Davison’s Peacock Point, William D. Guthrie’s Meudon, King Zog’s Knollwood, Clarence Mackay’s Harbor Hill, C.K.G. Billings’s Farnsworth, Henry Huttleston Rogers Jr.’s Black Point, the Catholic retreat of Inisfada, and Alva Vanderbilt’s Beacon Towers.
