Luxury New York pad up for sale

The most expensive house in New York is finally going under the hammer. The famous Fabbri House is on sale for thirty million dollars. Unquestionably the finest Beaux Arts mansion built in New York, the mansion was owned by Mrs Elliott F Shepard, one of William H Vanderbilt's daughters. The fabulously rich Vanderbilts still controlled their stretch of Fifth Avenue at the turn of the century, when the house was appropriated by Mrs Shepard and remodelled for her daughter Edith who was married to Ernesto Fabbri.
The house was modelled on the French classical design bearing all
the hallmarks of an obsession with grandiose elegance. The Vanderbilt family wealth was based on the railways.
