On November 14, 1862, William Henry Vanderbilt and Maria Louisa Vanderbilt welcomed their youngest son, George Washington Vanderbilt III, into the world at their family home near New Dorp on Staten Island, NY. Quiet and intellectual, George had been greatly influenced by his father's cultural interests and even started his own collection of fine art and books at an early age. | Biltmore
