The late heiress Huguette Clark bought a vast estate in New Canaan in 1951 as a refuge from potential Cold War threats, but never lived there.
Despite never furnishing or living in the estate, Clark expanded the property, which garnered interest years later by the Krakoffs, who felt connected to her story.
Reed and Delphine Krakoff were drawn to the estate after learning about it through 'Empty Mansions', which sparked their curiosity leading to their purchase.
Delphine Krakoff expressed that she felt a connection with Huguette Clark because of her childhood experiences in France, which resonated with Clark's own history.
