Florence Adele Vanderbilt Twombly was an American heiress and a member of the prominent Vanderbilt family. She and her husband, Hamilton McKown Twombly, built Florham, a gilded age estate in Madison, New Jersey. When she died at the age of 92, Florence was considered the last of the Grand Dames of the Gilded Age.
Fun Fact
Hamilton Twombly was a shrewd investor and astute businessman, often advising his father-in-law and Florence’s brothers on the management of their railroads and investments. When he died in 1910, not only did he leave his wife Florence richer than her found her, he left her richer than most of her family, no easy feat.
