Along the North Shore of Long Island, within an hour of Manhattan, the wealthiest families in America built a landscape of palaces that came to be known as the Gold Coast. Between the 1890s and the start of the Great Depression, financiers, industrialists, and heirs to older fortunes raised hundreds of country estates across Nassau and Suffolk counties. They imported French chateaux, English manor houses, Italian villas, and Tudor halls, then set them within formal gardens, working farms, private golf links, and miles of carriage roads. F. Scott Fitzgerald watched it all unfold and turned a stretch of this shoreline into the setting for The Great Gatsby.

Excellent video!!! 👏👏👏🏆🏆🏆🥇🥇🥇
I dig what you do, Ken!
You left out "Inisfada" the former Jesuit retreat house that could be seen from the Northern State near Manhasset/North Hills- once the fourth largest home in America: Inisfada was a sprawling 87-room, 72,000-square-foot Tudor Revival mega-mansion located in North Hills, Long Island, New York. Completed in 1920 by Gilded Age magnate Nicholas Frederic Brady and his devout Catholic wife Genevieve, the estate—whose Gaelic name means "Long Island"—was once the fourth-largest private residence in the United States.
Gilded age overload. Perfect!
I'm going to have to watch in 15 minutes increments. But definitely an amazing video. So many awesome old houses. And Ken that is one fantastic hat.
A picture book that your reading. Omg
