Fun fact: the house at 3:36 is made of concrete. I saw it in a Dover book about concrete homes. The Fulton-Cutting house: what a horror of a house. I find the place jarring with it's odd, asymmetrical, arrangement of features and angled floorplan. -- I read somewhere that when Tuxedo Park residents didn't have as much money as they used to, maybe because of the Depression or after World War II, and were not able to maintain their New York residences as well as those in Tuxedo Park or maybe gave up the New York homes entirely, a butler in the park made the wry comment that "the season" there was now lasting from January 1st until December 31st. Nothing wrong with making one's Tuxedo Park residence a ful-time residence if one had to choose between two homes. As I said about another house, the gardens could be used for growing one's own food and being more self-sufficient.

@paco7992 I figure it was a mix of people: that some people in Tuxedo Park were hardworking entrepreneurs who had worked their way up while others were born into comfortable lives. Too I never said the residents would farm the property themselves; even someone in reduced circumstances in Tuxedo Park could probably afford to have someone do that work.
