The Gilded Age architecture in New York City showcases many mansions built during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, predominantly located along the Upper East Side. While some have been repurposed as museums and schools, many remain as historical façades that the public can admire. A tour led by a local guide attracts a mix of New Yorkers and tourists, often sparked by interest in the television series. Most attendees are unable to enter the mansions without an admission fee but can appreciate their architecture from the street.
The Gilded Age can still be found everywhere in New York City for those who look, in particular on the blocks lining Central Park on the Upper East Side.
Many of the mansions built by the wealthy during the last two decades of the 19th century and the first two decades of the 20th century still stand.
Some have found second lives as museums and schools. You won't go inside most any of them on this tour, at least not without paying an additional admission fee.
AJ confirms that locals are commonly present for the tour, indicating that it attracts both tourists and New Yorkers alike.
