Proof That History Can Be Fun
By: Leslie Pandey, Senior Content Writer/Editor | June 26, 2008
With the Fourth of July right around the corner, it’s a perfect time to unveil our brand-new list of America’s famous historic homes. These historical gems range from ornate mansions to mid-century modern icons. See the sweeping ocean views from the Astors’ Beechwood Mansion, which played host to New York society in the late 1800s. Check out the sprawling grounds of the Hearst Mansion, which was once owned by newspaper magnate William Randolph Hearst and actress Marion Davies. (The same home that was on the market for a cool $165 million last summer!) And if you’re a Frank Lloyd Wright fan, don’t miss the bird’s-eye view of the famous Storer House in Los Angeles.
See what other historic homes we unearthed!

The Soprano’s house is a lot bigger then it looked on on the Series. It also reminded me how much I miss that show.

Pretty cool, right? I’m looking forward to see other historic homes of America, I’m just thinking how much they spend to build at least one of them. I really like Bourn Mansion.
