  1. What a remarkable house with a remarkable location and shape. Beautiful place. I think I'll pick the Gold Room as my favorite. Seriously, I wonder if the Gold Room provided some inspiration for the room of the same name in the Stanley Kubrick's movie version of "The Shining". Some believe that the movie has references to America being on the Gold Standard. In that famous ending that shows a picture taken at the 1921 Fourth of July ball at the Overlook Hotel, some of the people in the photograph have since been identified as prominent people of the era and who might have been guests at the Belmonts' home such as one of President Wilson's daughters. How sad and silly that there was a feud or competition between Mrs. Belmont and Mrs. Roosevelt. I hope people have moved beyond that sort of thing, but even though architectural and clothing styles have changed, human nature apparently hasn't!
