Look inside Glenview, a 19th-century mansion built for a Wall Street financier and featured in HBO's 'The Gilded Age'
Glenview is a Gilded Age mansion built by millionaire Wall Street banker John Bond Trevor in 1877. Visitors can tour the historic home located in Yonkers, New York. Glenview appears as Mrs. Astor's house in HBO's "The Gilded Age." 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. Glenview is located at the Hudson River Museum in Yonkers, New York. The home was constructed between 1876 and 1877 for John Bond Trevor, a millionaire banker and stockbroker who worked on Wall Street. Trevor purchased the 23-acre estate in 1876 and hired architect Charles W. Clinton to design the home. After his first wife died, leaving him with three children, Trevor moved into Glenview shortly after marrying his second wife, Emily Norwood Trevor. The Trevors' primary residence was in New York City, but they lived at Glenview from April to December each year. When in residence at Glenview, Trevor commuted into his office on Wall Street in New York City about 23 miles away. Trevor died in 1890. Norwood remained in the home until her death in 1922, when it was then sold for $400,000, or around $7.6 million in 2025 when adjusted for inflation. Our first stop on the tour was the Great Hall, where guests would enter the home. The hall featured woodwork by Daniel Pabst, a Victorian furniture designer based in Philadelphia, and an encaustic tile floor designed by the English company Maw and Co. A portrait of John Bond Trevor, seen right, is also on display in the hall. Our guide pointed out an ornate calling card holder on an entryway table, where visitors would leave their information if the Trevors weren't available. During the Gilded Age, members of high society used calling cards to announce their visits and maintain their social standing. When visiting another home, guests would present cards with identifying information to a servant, who would bring them to the mistress of the house to determine if they would be allowed inside. If the mistress wasn't available, guests would leave their cards on a tray. The Great Hall also featured a grand staircase with the only two remaining original light fixtures in the home. The lights were powered by gas because wealthy Gilded Age socialites believed that gas lighting was the most flattering to a woman's complexion, our tour guide said. When Norwood Trevor descended the staircase to greet guests, she wanted to look her best for her grand entrance. Once guests were admitted to Glenview, they were welcomed in the parlor. Guests would have been greeted with live music. The couch and chairs in the parlor are original to the home. Other furnishings included Italian marble sculptures and a stuffed peacock in front of the fireplace. The museum repainted the parlor's ceilings with the original designs to restore it to the way it looked during the Gilded Age. The wallpaper closely resembles the original design the Trevors chose as part of the Aesthetic Movement, which favored simpler, colorful geometric patterns over more ornate Victorian styles. The parlor appeared in HBO's "The Gilded Age" as Mrs. Astor's house, and features some of her costumes for a limited-time exhibition. The Hudson River Museum has costumes from "The Gilded Age" worn by Donna Murphy, who portrays Mrs. Astor, on display at Glenview through October 6. We proceeded into the Ebony Library, which was Trevor's domain as the man of the house. Trevor used the library as his study. The wooden cabinetry and fireplace were not made of actual ebony wood, but ebonized cherry wood made to look darker. Fans of "The Gilded Age" may recognize the fireplace from a scene in season one where Mrs. Astor tosses a party invitation from Mrs. Russell into the fire. The ceiling was decorated with chrysanthemums, a symbol of power used by Japan's imperial family. Chrysanthemums appear throughout Glenview, carved into the bricks of the home's exterior and in the pillars on the Grand Staircase. Next door, the sitting room served as Norwood Trevor's area for entertaining as well as a family room. The room's curved floor-to-ceiling windows were a status symbol of wealth in the Gilded Age due to the high price of glass. Its windows looked out onto stunning views of the Hudson River. The original home featured a wraparound balcony that could be accessed through the Sitting Room, but it was later removed in order to lower maintenance costs. The ceiling was decorated with more feminine floral patterns than the Ebony Library. Our tour guide said that Norwood Trevor was "obsessed with little gestures of hospitality," and chose the pattern to ensure that women who entered the room felt as comfortable and at home as possible. A display case featured Mary Trevor's wedding portrait and a fan she held on her wedding day. In 1892, the Trevors hosted the wedding reception of their oldest daughter, Mary Trevor. She married Grenville Winthrop, a Harvard Law graduate and attorney, in the Parlor of Glenview. A chair with a unique detail proved that Trevor also spent time in the sitting room. An original chair in the sitting room featured a button on the arm that allowed it to recline. It was considered unseemly for women to lounge during the Gilded Age, so it would have only been used by Trevor. The dining room featured another costume from "The Gilded Age," as well as a decorative panel to hide the entrance to the kitchen where servants worked. The medieval-style furnishings included walnut wainscoting along the walls and painted ceilings. The dining room features the only remaining original ceiling paintings at Glenview. A sideboard, also designed by woodworker Daniel Pabst, included a nod to one of Aesop's fables about how to be a gracious host. In the fable of the fox and the crane, the fox invites the crane for dinner and serves food in a shallow bowl, which the crane can't eat because of its beak. The crane then invites the fox for dinner and presents food in a tall glass, which the fox can't reach with its short snout. The moral of the story is to be hospitable and accommodating to guests. We ended the tour by returning to the Great Hall, where we stopped by an ornate tiled fireplace. A row of tiles above the fireplace depicted fairytales such as Beauty and the Beast and Rumpelstiltskin, which children could point to and indicate which story they'd like to hear. The bottom of the fireplace showed Guinevere, the wife of the legendary King Arthur. Glenview's Gilded Age grandeur isn't just for fans of the show — it's for anyone who enjoys history, architecture, and a taste of the finer things in life. Even if you haven't seen "The Gilded Age," visiting Glenview provides a look into the lives of Gilded Age millionaires outside of New York City, where seasonal estates provided an escape during the warmer months and small gestures of hospitality helped visitors feel at home.

Parti Kerjasama Anak Negeri: Table Native Courts Enactment before polls
Published on: Friday, July 18, 2025 Published on: Fri, Jul 18, 2025 By: Jinni Juanis Text Size: Trevor said NCE is rooted in cultural identity, native customs and indigenous dignity. Tuaran: Parti Kerjasama Anak Negeri (PKAN) urged the tabling of the Native Courts Enactment 2025 (NCE 2025) to recognise the Native Courts as an equal and functional part of Sabah's justice system. Its Sec-Gen Trevor Maringking said NCE is rooted in cultural identity, native customs and indigenous dignity. Advertisement 'Our party is very concerned over the continued uncertainty surrounding the tabling of the Native Courts Enactment, particularly as the review process by relevant state departments is understood to have been completed and the draft ready for presentation. 'With the current term of the State Legislative Assembly concluding before end of year, the absence of any official confirmation regarding the tabling of the NCE is deeply troubling and unacceptable,' he said. He recalled that in 2024, the Sabah Government publicly announced the establishment of a Native Judicial Department as part of its initiative to elevate the Native Courts to a status equal to the civil and syariah courts. This commitment again was reaffirmed by the Chief Minister during the Kaamatan Festival launching in Tambunan on May 1, where the announcement was met with a thunderous applause. 'Their applause is a clear reflection of the strong grassroots support and the deep cultural importance of the Native Court institution to the anak negeri communities,' said Trevor. However, he said, despite these public commitments, the Ministry of Local Government and Housing and its Minister remained silent. There were no clear direction or timeline regarding implementation of these initiatives, which are evidently in the best interest of Sabah's indigenous population. The proposed NCE aims to replace the out-dated Native Courts Enactment 1992 with a more robust structure, expanded jurisdiction and institutional reforms. 'This will finally recognise the Native Courts as an equal and functional part of Sabah's justice system which is rooted in cultural identity, native customs and indigenous dignity,' he added. Previously, party President Datuk Henrynus Amin had demanded for a clearer legal definition of 'Sabah native,' while Dr Edwin Bosi, the party's West Coast Coordinator, highlighted the alarming condition of the Native Court Training Institute. With this latest call for immediate tabling of the NCE, PKAN continues to push for meaningful institutional reform and rejects any complacency on the part of the Government in this matter. 'PKAN wishes to make it clear: speeches are no substitute for legislation. The empowerment of the Native Courts institution requires legal recognition and not political rhetoric. 'Any further delay or reluctance to table this landmark enactment will erode public confidence and may be perceived as a betrayal of the aspirations of Sabah's indigenous communities,' he stressed. PKAN also pointed to the precedent set by previous administration, which boldly established a Ministry of Law and Native Affairs. Trevor said the party was committed to advocating for such a ministry to be revived by the next government. He stressed that the failure by the current administration to act on its publicly declared initiatives or to match the past government's commitment will be seen as a serious regression in the development of native rights and governance. The party also calls on all native leaders' representatives, especially those from the ruling coalition, that they must unite to honour all publicly announced commitments made by the Government and to fulfil their moral and political responsibility. Trevor urged them to stand with their communities by ensuring that the Native Courts institution is strengthened and legally empowered as promised, especially in this important year. 'PKAN will continue to monitor this matter closely and will not remain silent. 'We will ensure that the voices and aspirations of the anak negeri communities are heard until the Native Courts Enactment 2025 is tabled and passed and the dignity of the Native Courts institution is restored to its rightful place in Sabah's judicial landscape,' he said. * Follow us on our official WhatsApp channel and Telegram for breaking news alerts and key updates! * Do you have access to the Daily Express e-paper and online exclusive news?

Heart-stopping moment 'bleeding and shivering' 80-year-old woman pleads for rescue after getting stranded on 'perilous' mountain - with panicked husband convinced 'she's gone over the edge'
The heart-stopping moment a 'bleeding and shivering' 80-year-old woman pleaded for rescue after she found herself stranded on a mountain was aired on Wednesday evening. SOS: Extreme Rescues is a docu-series following the rescue service team in Eryri, also called Snowdonia, in Wales. The BBC show's most recent episode delved into the tale of Josie, 80, who attempted to climb Snowdon with her husband, Trevor. Trevor described the 'horrendous' wind the couple experienced during their hike and how he decided not to go any further. Josie however, wanted to complete the climb and soon found herself in trouble. After waiting two and a half hours with no sight of Josie returning, Trevor, who didn't have a mobile phone on him, tried to get help. Josie, who was 100 metres from a path and on the edge of a cliff, called Mountain Rescue and the audio was played during the instalment. She said: 'I'm on Snowdon and I'm stuck. I must have come off the track and I've got lost' The call handler asked: 'Have you got any injuries at all?' Josie replied: 'Yes, I've cut the side of my head but it's only bleeding a bit. I'm starting to shiver now. I'm nearly 80.' Rescuers struggled to locate Josie on their first attempt and recalled the strong winds. Trevor expressed how he was concerned Josie may have 'gone over the edge'. The team embarked on the 'risky' climb down to Josie's last known location. After calling out for Josie, they eventually made voice contact and found her in her 'perilous' spot. 'I just thought, what have I done? Because I thought nobody would find me, nobody,' Josie recalled. 'I reached the summit and I asked two lads if they'd take my photograph. And I was coming down I saw this path and there was some lads walking off, so I thought I'd go that way. 'I was going along and the rain was really coming down and the fog was starting to drop and it was that windy. I looked down and I think I'll slide down there on my bottom and I'll make the path. 'I stopped and I looked down and I thought good God, it's nearly 3,00 foot deep there.'
