Look inside Glenview, a 19th-century mansion built for a Wall Street financier and featured in HBO’s ‘The Gilded Age’
HBO’s “The Gilded Age” was filmed at Glenview, a 19th-century mansion in Yonkers, New York. Glenview will host an exhibit of costumes worn by Donna Murphy, who plays Mrs. Astor. “Seeing the dresses in the context of Glenview’s period rooms will highlight the connections between our historic house and the Astors,” said Laura Vookles, curatorial department chair.

For a limited time, fans of HBO’s “The Gilded Age” can see Mrs. Astor’s costumes from the show on display in the actual Gilded Age mansion where her scenes were filmed.
Glenview, a 19th-century seasonal home built for millionaire banker John Bond Trevor and his family, has been painstakingly restored by the Hudson River Museum in Yonkers, New York. Its ornate furnishings are so well-maintained that HBO used the mansion as a film set to portray Mrs. Caroline Schermerhorn Astor’s home on Fifth Avenue’s “Millionaires’ Row” in “The Gilded Age.”
Through October 6, Glenview will host an exhibit of costumes worn by Donna Murphy, who plays Astor in the series.
“Seeing the dresses in the context of Glenview’s period rooms will highlight the connections between our historic house and Gilded Age lifestyles of the Trevor family at Glenview and the Astors in New York City,” said Laura Vookles, who chairs the Hudson River Museum’s curatorial department.
As a fan of “The Gilded Age” and a historic mansion enthusiast, I visited Glenview in July to check out the costumes and learn more about the Trevor family’s life at the mansion. Take a look inside.
