    AG is likely Alfred Gwynne Vanderbilt. The "Mrs" is unclear to me. He divorced his first wife ca. 1909, and remarried 1911. He died on the Lusitania.
  • Art Siegel said:
    The widow was born Margaret Emerson, herself an heiress of the Bromo Seltzer fortune:

    "[Isaac Edward] Emerson's daughter Margaret married at 18 to Dr. Smith Hollins McKim. They became social leaders in New York's high society. But in 1910 she brought a sensational divorce suit against her husband, claiming he beat her in drunken rages. She remarried in 1911, this time to Alfred Gwynne Vanderbilt I, one of the wealthiest men in America having inherited the bulk of his father's fortune in 1889. They had two sons, Alfred Gwynne Jr. and George. Tragically, while traveling to England on business, Alfred Sr. heroically lost his life in the sinking of RMS Lusitania by torpedo in 1915. Margaret inherited her husband's fortune (as well as the bulk of her father's fortune when he died). One son from this marriage, Alfred Gwynne Vanderbilt II went on to become one of the driving forces behind thoroughbred racing in America. Margaret married two more times, both ending in divorce. In 1931 she legally resumed her maiden name."

    I haven't been able to identify this building. Sources I have consulted say she was living at the Vanderbilt Hotel at the time the Lusitania sank.
  • swanq said:
    And I've found two houses she owned at some point but which it isn't: The Gould house on Fifth Avenue and Eat 67th shown in www.oldpokerchips.com/NonNevada/Gould.htm And a grand house in London, which he left her in his will according to NYT of May 30, 1915 query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=F50B17F9385C13738... Gloucester House at Piccadilly and Park Lane pictured at www.amsprop.com/gloucester_house/index.html
