'The Gilded Age Houses & Gardens of the Hamptons' Webinar
*The event has already taken place on this date: Tue, 12/29/2020
What began as a tiny cluster of settlements established by Puritans who were fleeing the more restrictive towns to the north, had evolved by the late 19th century into one of America's premier resort communities for New York's wealthiest. This is the story of the mansions and gardens of the Hamptons between 1880 and 1930, and the dozens of elite families in New York and New England society who made the area their summer playground.
Join New York Adventure Club for a digital exploration of the great summer resort homes that transformed the Hamptons — often referred to as the “American Riviera” — into one of the world's premier collections of glamour, luxury, and architectural achievement.

Led by historian Gary Lawrance, our virtual showcase of the incredible properties of the Hamptons during the Gilded Age will include:
A historical overview of the Hamptons and why it became the summer destination for some of America's richest and most prominent families by the late 19th century
- A glimpse into the families who called the Hamptons their (summer) home at the turn of the century, and their world of leisured, cultured existence — one that has all but vanished from the modern world
- A deep dive into the Hamptons' most famous estates, including Wooldon Manor (the home of Jesse Woolworth Donahue), Black Point (the H. H. Rogers mansion), and The Orchard (one of architect Stanford White’s last great commissions)
- A special look at Grey Gardens, from the early history of this East Hampton home belonging to the Beale Family to insider photos and stories from the 2017 tag sale
- Archival photographs showcasing houses and gardens designed by some of the country's greatest architectural figures and firms, such as Cross & Cross, John Russell Pope, and Leroy P. Ward
Afterward, we’ll have a Q&A with Gary — any and all questions about the Hamptons are welcomed and encouraged!
