Welcome to GoldCoastMansions.com the online source for visiting Long Island, NY's Gold Coast Mansions. In the grand era of the Great Gatsby and the industrial revolution -great fortunes were made by many.
Wealthy industrialists made Long Island their home. Grand estates were built many of which imported various fixtures, materials and art pieces from around the world. Although many of these homes proved to be to large and inefficient to maintain, and were demolished for smaller developments, some fortunately still remain for the world to tour and enjoy. Some of the Gold Coast Mansion's are still maintained in a similar way to their original beginnings. Some have original roofing, fixtures, some utilize replacements from the same providers of the original items, some utilize pieces of the original furniture and art. Most notibly some keep vast and beautiful gardens.
One of the greatest of the Gold Coast Mansion's was & is the Phipps Mansion. Located in Old Westbury, Long Island, New York, this beautiful mansion has been maintained and available to the public due to the forsight and life work of the families children.
