 The Vanderbilts


I’m sure most people know or have heard of the Vanderbilts.  One of Americas richest families. 

The Vanderbilts were involved in building many of the iconic buildings in New York City.  One of the most recognizable is the Grand Central station.  The massive building is a landmark of New York.  Not only is it a railway station it also has an indoor tennis court. 


Vanderbilts also built a stunning mansion the interiors, reminds me of the palaces of Europe . 


To see these places is really interesting and one can . A short video  called special Places lets one tour these iconic places.
