Fragments of the historic house Boscobel before reconstruction. Originally located in Montrose, New York, it is now located in Garrison, NY, opposite West Point. Restoration efforts in the mid-20th century moved it 15 miles upriver to where it currently stands. Built in the early 19th century, it is considered an outstanding example of the Federal style of American architecture, augmented by its extensive collection of period decorations and furniture. Today it is a museum and popular tourist attraction.

The William B. Astor House at 840 Fifth Avenue, c. 1900. It was designed by Richard Morris Hunt, a popular society architect who also designed The Breakers, Marble House, and several other Vanderbilt mansions. Construction started in 1893 and the mansion became the largest of its kind on Fifth Avenue. Its ballroom alone could hold 1,200 people and was frequently put to use. From the Vanderbilt Chateau at the corner of 52nd Street to the Carnegie Mansion at the corner of 91st, this section of Fifth Avenue was called "Millionaire's Row" for a reason.
