The Vanderbilt mansion at Hyde Park
Hyde Park, New York
Public domain · Wikimedia Commons
A fifty-four-room Beaux-Arts house used by two people for a few weeks a year, and modest by the standards of the family that built it. It survives complete with its furnishings because a niece could find no buyer during the Depression and gave it to the government on Franklin Roosevelt's suggestion.
