William Waldorf Astor: From American Tycoon to English Lord


Presented by Curt DiCamillo, Architectural Historian, Author and Authority on the British Country House


In this richly illustrated talk, historian Curt DiCamillo will trace the extraordinary life of one of the world’s most enigmatic tycoons who became an English lord. Astor’s most magnificent houses will be featured, including his English country estate Hever Castle in Kent, the ancestral home of Anne Boleyn; Cliveden House, the magnificent Thames-side palace; his stunning London home, Astor House; and Lord Astor’s sublime paradise of art, architecture, and gardens, Villa Astor, an Italian landmark dating to the Roman Empire.


Then, enjoy delicious desserts and wine in the elegant Dining Room.
