This tour will resurrect some of the magnificent mansions that no longer stand, bringing those glamorous abodes back to life with stunning historical images and scintillating stories of the affairs that took place inside. We will have the opportunity to go inside two of those Gilded Age mansions, one currently used as a retail store and another used as an embassy’s cultural services.
