Owned by Alva Vanderbilt, from the 1920’s,
it was a sobering fact that she, and her family, would only live in this house
for approximately 6 weeks of the year.
And in the latter part of her failing marriage, she essentially used the property as ‘storage’.
Her son later said of his own financial status:
“Extreme wealth is as damaging to ambition, as cocaine is to morality”.
I loved that!

It was a lovely walk back to the car, along the wide tree-lined boulevard,
completing a 5 mile circuit.
We drove back to Warren, stopping at a decent little Italian restaurant as we reached the little town.
Tomorrow was our last ‘full day’.
