Ep 34: Love, Lust, and Murder in the Gilded Age: The Riveting Tale of Evelyn Nesbit, Henry K. Thaw, and Stanford White
Description
Next up! We are in Manhattan for the ‘only in NY’ story of the murder of Stanford White by jealous husband Henry K. Thaw. Stanford White was a super successful architect and also absolutely a sexual predator. When the former object of his desire, Gibson Girl Evelyn Nesbit, marries a narcissistic billionaire White’s days are numbered.
This is also the story of the several Madison Square Gardens, the very American thing of tearing down our buildings to match tastes, and the beginning of the National Register of Historic Places.
