Inspired by Wren's work at Hampton Court, the American Vanderbilt family modeled their estate known as Florham, in Madison, New Jersey, after Hampton Court's English-baroque style.
Florham was commissioned by Florence Adele Vanderbilt and Hamilton McKown Twombly from the McKim, Mead & White firm, which also built the Old Penn Station and the Rhode Island State House among many other monuments, in 1893.
Hampton Court can be seen very clearly in Florham's classical columns, and mix of stone and red brick.
Now home to Fairleigh Dickinson University, Florham, at 110 rooms, remains the 8th largest house in the United States.
