I ka manawa i manaʻo ʻia ai nā aliʻi ʻAmelika, ua hōʻike ʻo Vanderbilts i ka hanohano o ka makahiki gula.ʻIke ʻia no ka hoʻolei ʻana i nā pāʻina leʻaleʻa, ʻo lākou ke kuleana no ke kūkulu ʻana i kekahi o nā hale nui a nani loa ma ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa.ʻO kekahi o ia pūnaewele ʻo Elm Court, kahi i hōʻike ʻia he nui loa a hiki i ʻelua kūlanakauhale.Ua kūʻai wale ʻia no ka $8m (£6.6m), ʻoi aku ma mua o $4m pōkole o kāna kumu kūʻai kumu $12.5m (£10.3m).Kaomi a ʻōwili paha no ka mākaʻikaʻi ʻana i kēia hale nani a aʻo i ke ʻano o kāna hana i loko o ʻelua mau hanana koʻikoʻi o ka mōʻaukala…
Aia ma waena o nā kūlanakauhale ʻo Stockbridge a me Lenox, Massachusetts, ʻo ka ʻāina 89-ʻeka ka mea hiki ke hoʻomaha maikaʻi ʻia no kekahi o nā ʻohana elite o ka honua.Ua hoʻolimalima ʻia ʻo Frederick Law Olmsted, ke kanaka ma hope o Central Park, e kūkulu i nā māla o ka hale.
ʻO nā Vanderbilts kekahi o nā ʻohana waiwai loa ma ka mōʻaukala ʻAmelika, kahi ʻoiaʻiʻo i hoʻopaʻa pinepine ʻia no ka mea hiki ke hoʻihoʻi ʻia kā lākou waiwai i ka mea kālepa a me ke kauā ʻo Cornelius Vanderbilt.I ka makahiki 1810, ua hōʻaiʻē ʻo ia i $100 (£76) (ma kahi o $2,446 i kēia lā) mai kona makuahine e hoʻomaka i ka ʻoihana ʻohana a hoʻomaka i ka hana ʻana i kahi moku kaʻa i Staten Island.Ma hope mai, ua hoʻopili ʻo ia i loko o nā mokuahi ma mua o ka hoʻokumu ʻana i ka New York Central Railroad.Wahi a Forbes, ua hōʻiliʻili ʻo Cornelius i kahi waiwai o $ 100 miliona (£ 76 miliona) i kona wā e ola ana, ʻo ia ka like me $ 2.9 biliona i ke kālā o kēia lā, a ʻoi aku ka nui ma mua o ka US Treasury i kēlā manawa.
ʻOiaʻiʻo, ua hoʻohana ʻo Cornelius a me kona ʻohana i kā lākou waiwai e kūkulu i nā hale, me ka ʻāina ʻo Biltmore ma North Carolina, ʻo ia ka hale nui loa ma ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa.Ua hoʻolālā ʻia ʻo Elm Court no ka moʻopuna a Cornelius ʻo Emily Thorne Vanderbilt a me kāna kāne ʻo William Douglas Sloan, i kiʻi ʻia ma aneʻi.Noho lākou ma 2 West 52nd Street ma Manhattan, New York, akā makemake lākou i kahi home kauwela e pakele ai i ka hustle a me ka puʻupuʻu o ka Big Apple.
No laila, i ka makahiki 1885, ua kauoha nā kāne i ka hale kiʻi kiʻi kiʻi ʻo Peabody a me Stearns e hoʻolālā i ka mana mua o The Breakers, ka hale kauwela o Cornelius Vanderbilt II, akā naʻe, ua luku ʻia e ke ahi.I ka makahiki 1886 ua hoʻopau ʻia ʻo Elm Yard.ʻOiai ke manaʻo ʻia he hale hoʻomaha maʻalahi, he ākea loa.I kēia lā, ʻo ia ka hale noho shingle-style nui loa ma ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa.ʻO kēia kiʻi, i lawe ʻia i ka makahiki 1910, e hōʻike ana i ka nani o ka ʻāina.
Akā naʻe, ʻaʻole ʻoliʻoli nui ʻo Emily lāua ʻo William i kā lāua pūʻulu kauwela, no ka mea, ua hana lāua i kekahi mau hana hoʻoponopono hale, hoʻohui i nā lumi, a hoʻolimalima hou i nā limahana e hoʻokō i ko lākou pono.ʻAʻole i hoʻopau ʻia ka waiwai a hiki i ka makahiki 1900.Me kona ʻano ʻulaʻula ʻulaʻula sprawling, nā turrets piʻi, nā puka makani lattice a me ka hoʻonaninani Tudor, hana ka ʻāina i kahi manaʻo mua.
Ma ka hoʻomaopopo ʻana, ʻo Emily a me kāna kāne ʻo William, ka mea nāna e hoʻokele i kā lākou ʻoihana ʻohana W. & J. Sloane, kahi hale kūʻai hale kūʻai a me ke kapena ma New York City, ʻaʻole i mālama i ka uku no ka hoʻolālā ʻana i ko lākou hale kūhelu kupaianaha ma ke ʻano o Gilded Age.No nā makahiki, ua hoʻokipa ka VIP male i kahi ʻano o nā pāʻina lavish ma ka hōkele.ʻOiai ma hope o ka make ʻana o William i ka makahiki 1915, ua hoʻomau ʻo Emily i ka hoʻolilo ʻana i kāna mau kauwela ma ka hale noho, ʻo ia ke ʻano o nā ʻano nui inā ʻaʻole nā hui āpau.ʻOiaʻiʻo, hūnā ka hale i kahi moʻolelo kupanaha.I ka makahiki 1919, ua hoʻokipa ʻo ia i nā kūkākūkā ʻana o ka ʻAha Elm, kekahi o nā ʻaha kūkā politika i hoʻololi i ka honua.
He nani ka puka o ka hale e like me ka wā kahiko i noho ai ʻo Emily lāua ʻo William ma laila.ʻO nā kūkākūkā i mālama ʻia ma ʻaneʻi ma mua o 100 mau makahiki i hala aku nei ua kōkua i ka hoʻokō ʻana i ke Kuikahi o Versailles, kahi ʻaelike kuʻikahi i pūlima ʻia ma ka Hale Aliʻi o Versailles i ka hopena o ke Kaua Honua Mua.Ua alakaʻi ʻia ka hālāwai i ka hoʻokumu ʻana o ka League of Nations, i hana ʻia ma 1920 i mea e hoʻoponopono ai i nā hoʻopaʻapaʻa honua e hiki mai ana.ʻO ka mea kupanaha, ua hoʻokani ʻo Elm Court i kahi kuleana nui i kēia mau hanana koʻikoʻi ʻelua.
I ka makahiki 1920, ʻelima mau makahiki ma hope o ka make ʻana o William, ua male ʻo Emily iā Henry White.He ʻelele ʻAmelika mua ʻo ia, akā naʻe, ua make ʻo White ma Elm Court i ka makahiki 1927 mai nā hoʻopiʻi mai kahi hana a ua male lāua no ʻehiku makahiki wale nō.Ua make ʻo Emily ma ka ʻāina i ka makahiki 1946 i ka makahiki 94. Ua lawe ke moʻopuna a Emily ʻo Marjorie Field Wild a me kāna kāne ʻo Colonel Helm George Wild i ka hale hanohano a wehe ʻia i nā malihini ma ke ʻano he hōkele e hiki ai i 60 mau kānaka.Me kona kaupaku coffered nani a me ka panelling, he mea maopopo keia he wahi maikai e noho ai!
Hiki iā mākou ke noʻonoʻo i ka mahalo o nā malihini i kēia hōkele nani.Hāmama ka puka mua i loko o kēia wahi kupaianaha, i manaʻo ʻia e hana i kahi hoʻokipa maikaʻi no ka poʻe hoʻomaha.Mai ke kapuahi nui i hoʻonani ʻia me Art Nouveau bas-reliefs o nā ʻaleʻa a me nā kumu waina, a i nā papahele parquet ʻālohilohi a me nā mea hoʻonani velvet openwork, hana kēia lobby i kahi manaʻo mau loa.
He 106 lumi o ka hale 55,000-square-foot, a ua piha kēlā me kēia wahi i nā hiʻohiʻona hoʻolālā kupanaha a me nā kikoʻī hoʻonani, e like me nā kapuahi puhi lāʻau, nā pale nani, nā mea hoʻoheheʻe ʻia, nā mea kukui gilded, a me nā lako kahiko.Ke alakaʻi nei ka lobby i kahi noho ākea i hoʻolālā ʻia no ka hoʻomaha, hoʻokipa ʻana i nā malihini a me ka hana.Hiki ke hoʻohana ʻia kēia wahi ma ke ʻano he lumi hoʻokani pila no kahi hanana ahiahi, a i ʻole he lumi pila no ka ʻaina ahiahi.
ʻO ka hale waihona puke lāʻau i kāhiko nui ʻia o ka hale mōʻaukala kekahi o kāna mau lumi maikaʻi loa.ʻO nā paia ʻulaʻula uliuli, nā waihona puke i kūkulu ʻia, ke ahi e ʻā ana, a me kahi kāwele nani e hoʻokiʻekiʻe ai i ka lumi, ʻaʻohe wahi ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi e wili ai me kahi puke maikaʻi.
Ma ke kamaʻilio ʻana i nā papahele ʻano, hiki ke hoʻohana ʻia kēia wahi noho maʻamau i wahi e hoʻomaha ai ma hope o ka lā lōʻihi a i ʻole he lumi ʻaina no ka ʻai ʻana i kēlā me kēia lā.Me nā puka makani papahele a hiki i ke kaupaku e nānā ana i ka māla ma waho a me nā puka aniani e hele ana i waho i ka conservatory, ʻaʻole kānalua ka Vanderbilts e hauʻoli i ka nui o ka cocktails i nā ahiahi kauwela.
ʻO ka lumi kuke i hoʻoponopono houʻia he ākea a'ālohilohi, me nā mea hoʻolālā e hoʻopili i nā laina ma waena o nā kuʻuna a me nā mea hou.Mai nā mea hana kiʻekiʻe a hiki i nā papa hana ākea, nā paia pōhaku i hōʻike ʻia a me nā lako hale nani, kūpono kēia kīhini gourmet no kahi chef kaulana.
Wehe ka lumi kuke i loko o kahi hale kīʻaha nani me nā keʻena lāʻau ʻeleʻele, nā lua lua a me kahi noho puka makani kahi e hiki ai iā ʻoe ke hauʻoli i nā hiʻohiʻona nani o ka pā.ʻO ka mea kupanaha, ʻoi aku ka nui o ka pantry ma mua o ka lumi kuke, e like me ka mea kūʻai aku.
Ua helu ʻia ka hale ma ka National Register of Historic Places, a ʻoiai ua hoʻihoʻi maikaʻi ʻia kekahi mau lumi, ua haʻalele kekahi.ʻO kēia wahi kahi lumi pila i ka wā ma mua, ʻaʻohe kanalua ke kahua o nā pō pāʻani haʻahaʻa no ka ʻohana Vanderbilt.Me kona nani o ka sage paneling, ke kapuahi nui a me nā puka makani pau ʻole, he maʻalahi ke noʻonoʻo i ka nani o kēia lumi me ka mālama iki.
I kēia manawa, haʻalele ʻia ka ʻauʻau hina hina i loko o ka hale, a ke ʻili nei ka pena i nā ʻīpuka puka.I ka makahiki 1957, ua pani ka moopuna a Emily o Marjorie i ka hōkele a ua hoopau ka ohana Vanderbilt i ka hoohana ana ia mea.Wahi a ka luna hoʻopaʻa inoa Compass ʻo John Barbato, ua haʻalele ka hale i haʻalele ʻia no 40 a i ʻole 50 mau makahiki, e hāʻule mālie ana i ka hana ʻole.Ua hāʻule pū ʻia i ka hana ʻino a me ka hao wale ʻana a hiki i Robert Berle, ka moʻopuna nui a Emily Vanderbilt, kūʻai iā Elm Court ma 1999.
Ua hana ʻo Robert i kahi hana hou i hoʻihoʻi ʻia kēia hale nani i ka lihi.Ua nānā ʻo ia i ka lumi hoʻokipa nui a me nā lumi moe o ka home, a ua hoʻoponopono hou i ka lumi kuke a me ka ʻēheu o nā kauā.No kekahi mau makahiki, ua hoʻohana ʻo Robert i ka hale ma ke ʻano he wahi mare, akā ʻaʻole ʻo ia i hoʻopau i nā hana a pau.Wahi a Realtor, ʻoi aku ma mua o 65 mau lumi me ka nui o kahi o 20,821 square square i hoʻihoʻi ʻia.Ke kali nei ke koena 30,000 kapuai kuea e hoopakeleia.
ʻO nā wahi ʻē aʻe paha kekahi o nā alapiʻi nani loa a mākou i ʻike ai.ʻO nā kaupaku ʻōmaʻomaʻo ʻōmaʻomaʻo, nā kaola lāʻau keʻokeʻo hau, nā balustrades nani a me nā kāpeti nani e hoʻonani maikaʻi ʻole ʻia kēia wahi moeʻuhane.Piʻi nā ʻanuʻu i nā lumi moe nani o luna.
Inā hoʻokomo ʻoe i nā keʻena keʻena limahana a pau i loko o ka hale, piʻi ka nui o nā lumi moe i kahi 47. Akā, ʻo 18 wale nō ka mākaukau e hoʻokipa i nā malihini.ʻO kēia kekahi o nā kiʻi liʻiliʻi i loaʻa iā mākou, akā ua maopopo ka hopena o kā Robert hana nui.Mai nā kapuahi nani a me nā lako lako a hiki i ka hoʻomaʻamaʻa pukaaniani nani, ua hana maikaʻi ʻia ka hoʻihoʻi ʻana, e hoʻohui i kahi paʻi o ka maʻalahi o kēia manawa i kēlā me kēia lumi.
Hiki i kēia lumi moe ke lilo i wahi laa o Emily, piha me kahi keʻena hele wāwae nui a me kahi noho kahi e hoʻomaha ai i kāu kofe kakahiaka.Manaʻo mākou e ʻoluʻolu nā mea kaulana i kēia ʻaʻahu, mahalo i kona pā a me ka waiho ʻana, nā mea huki a me nā niches kāmaʻa.
He 23 lumi lumi ka hale, a he nui ka nui o ia mau mea me he mea la ua paa.Loaʻa i kēia mea he palette kīlima āpau me nā lako keleawe kahiko a me kahi ʻauʻau i kūkulu ʻia.ʻIke ʻia he 15 mau lumi moe hou aʻe he 12 lumi ʻauʻau ma ka ʻēheu maʻemaʻe o ka hale nani, pono nā mea āpau e hoʻihoʻi.
Aia kekahi alapiʻi ʻē aʻe, ʻoi aku ka nani ma mua o ke alapiʻi mua i waenakonu o ka hale, hoʻopaʻa ʻia ma hope o ka hale e pili ana i ka lumi kuke.ʻElua ala alapiʻi i maʻamau i ka hoʻolālā hale ʻoiai ua ʻae lākou i nā kauā a me nā limahana ʻē aʻe e neʻe ma waena o nā papahele me ka ʻike ʻole ʻia.
He hale lalo nui ka waiwai e kali nei e hoʻihoʻi ʻia i kona nani kahiko.He wahi ia e hiki ai i nā limahana ke ʻākoakoa i ka wā o kā lākou neʻe ʻana a i ʻole e mālama i ka meaʻai a me ka waina no nā pāʻina leʻaleʻa no ka ʻohana Vanderbilt.I kēia manawa he mea ʻē aʻe, ʻo ka wahi i haʻalele ʻia he mau paia ʻūlū, nā papahele i uhi ʻia i ka ʻōpala, a me nā mea hana i ʻike ʻia.
Ke hele ʻoe i waho, e ʻike ʻoe i nā lau ākea, nā loko lilia, nā ululāʻau, nā kula ākea, nā kīhāpai pa, a me nā hale pupule mōʻaukala i hoʻolālā ʻia e ka kiʻi hoʻolālā ʻāina nui o ʻAmelika, ʻo Frederick Law Orme.Ua mālama ʻia e Frederick Law Olmsted.I loko o kāna ʻoihana hanohano, ua hana ʻo Olmsted ma Niagara Falls State Park, Mount Royal Park ma Montréal, a me ka Biltmore Estate ma Asheville, North Carolina, a me nā mea ʻē aʻe.Eia naʻe, ʻo New York's Central Park ka mea i kaulana loa.
ʻO kēia kiʻi kupanaha, i paʻi ʻia i ka makahiki 1910, hopu iā Emily lāua ʻo William i ko lāua noho aliʻi ʻana.Hōʻike ia i ka nani a me ka nani o nā māla i ka wā ma mua, me nā pā paʻa, nā pūnāwai maʻamau a me nā ala wili.
Akā naʻe, ʻaʻole ʻo ia wale nō ka mea huna i loko o kēia pā nani.Nui nā hale hoʻokipa maikaʻi ma ka ʻāina, mākaukau a ke kali nei i ka hoʻihoʻi ʻana.ʻEkolu mau hale limahana, me kahi hale kīʻaha ʻewalu lumi moe, a me nā hale noho no ka māla a me ka mea mālama, a me kahi hale kaʻa.
Aia i loko o ka māla he ʻelua hale papaʻa a me kahi hale paʻa nani.Aia i loko o nā hale kiaʻi me nā ʻāpana keleawe nani.Aia nā koho pau ʻole i ka wā e hiki ai iā ʻoe ke hana me kēia wahi.E hana i hale ʻaina, e hoʻolilo iā ia i hale kūʻokoʻa a hoʻohana paha no ka holo lio.
He mau hale ʻōmaʻomaʻo ka ʻāina i hoʻohana ʻia no ka ulu ʻana i ka meaʻai no ka ʻohana Vanderbilt.I ka makahiki 1958, hoʻokahi makahiki ma hope o ka pani ʻana o ka hōkele, ua hoʻokumu ʻo Tony Fiorini, ka luna hoʻomalu o Elm Court i kahi kahu hānai ma ka ʻāina a wehe i ʻelua mau hale kūʻai kūloko e kūʻai aku i nā hua o kāna hana.Hiki i ka waiwai ke hoʻihoʻi i kāna hoʻoilina horticultural a hāʻawi i kumu kālā hou inā makemake ka mea nona ka mea hou.
I ka makahiki 2012, ua kūʻai nā mea nona ka waiwai i kēia manawa me ka manaʻo e kūkulu i kahi hōkele a me kahi spa, akā naʻe, ʻaʻole i hoʻokō ʻia kēia mau hoʻolālā.I kēia manawa ua kūʻai ʻia aku i kahi mea hoʻomohala, ke nānā nei ʻo Elm Court i kāna mokuna aʻe.ʻAʻole mākou ʻike e pili ana iā ʻoe, akā ʻaʻole hiki iā mākou ke kali e ʻike i ka hana a nā mea hou i kēia wahi!
