Lyndhurst and the Jewish Gold Coast on the Hudson River

Howard
Zar the Executive Director of
Lyndhurst will present this lecture, a program of the Jewish
Cultural Festival of the Rivertowns. 
By the late 19th century many of the palatial residences were
owned by the German Jewish elite – the Lehman Brothers, the Untermyers and the
Seligmans.  Find out more about
Lyndhurst’s owner, Jay Gould, and his associations with Jewish investment
bankers on Wall Street.  The slides
illustrating this discussion will include the history of the Lyndhurst house
and the area.
