摘要

When the Vanderbilt Mansion National Historic Site was designated by the Secretary of the Interior on December 18, 1940, President Franklin D. Roosevelt hoped to see the grounds set aside as an arboretum for public enjoyment. He believed the estate would be an example of a social and economic phase of our national development that would be of distinct national interest. Unlike the site of a decisive battle, or the home of the great American patriot, the justification for accepting the site was at least in part based on the belief that it was 'representative.' The designation order states that certain buildings and structures of the estate are 'representative and illustrative of their period and hence of national significance in the economic, sociological, and cultural history of the United States.' Taking the lead from the legislative mandate, park planning and research efforts focused on economic, social, and cultural history. Surprisingly little scholarly research was undertaken during the park's first half century on the developmental history of the estate, the history and significance of the furnished interiors, the history and significance of the cultural landscape, and the domestic life of the Vanderbilts and those employed on the estate.
