Gilded Age in New York with Phillip James Dodd | Boroughs & Burbs Ep. 160

In Episode 160 of Boroughs & Burbs: The National Real Estate Conversation, hosts John Engel and Roberto Cabrera are joined by Phillip James Dodd, renowned architect, author, and authority on Gilded Age architecture. Together they explore the grandeur of New York's most opulent era and how its design principles continue to shape today’s luxury homes.

Takeaways include how elite tastes from the 19th century influence modern mansion design, how preservation and craftsmanship remain central to luxury real estate, and why the values of proportion, materials, and classical beauty are making a comeback in new residential construction.
