Wealth generated before the Irish and Italian is became white is old money. Anything before Ellis Island is old money. Truthfully, I’d say anything before the great depression is old money.
I thought so...
This definitely qualifies the posterity of San Francisco's railroad barons, gold rush millionaires, white land grant owners who received thousands of acres from Spain and then Mexico. I have this insufferable but harmless friend who brags that his family owned Marin County-don't know if that's actually true lol
Today the city is so diluted by a tidal wave of tech wealth that people forget that SF was full of multigenerational wealth long before the rise of tech.
1. Boston/New England Port Cities (Back Bay, Beacon Hill, South End, Suburbs like Coastal MA, MeroWest, Newport RI Mansions, Cape Cod)
2. New York (A good chunk of Manhattan, Greenwich CT, Queens' gated communities, North Shore LI, Hamptons, Alpine Nj)
3. Philadelphia (Center City area, Society Hill, of course Main Line Area, Cherry Hill NJ Maybe too.. Princeton)
Baltimore, Rochester, Cleveland, St. louis, Pittsburgh, Charleston SC, Savannah, Chicago, Detroit and Atlanta have a lot of old money neighborhoods too. Sure I'm missing a few.
There is a hamlet in the Albany, NY area called Loudonville. We call it the shire. The streets are lined with stately oaks, and the houses are varied in architectural design and craftsmanship, mostly from the first half of the 1900s. Most of the houses are brick with slate roofs, but some are sided in painted, wooden siding. Almost without exception every property has been maintained and updated beautifully. Just a killer neighborhood.
Natchez, Mississippi, which in its day was the wealthiest town in the nation. It stopped growing almost entirely after the turn of the century and consequently has the most antebellum homes of any place in America.
Sorry. You're wrong. Large swaths of MB existed long before white flight. The area shared by old Mountain Brook, Forest Park, and Redmont is pretty incredible.
WESTMOUNT, Quebec, an inner-city enclave completely surrounded by. and very distinct from, the City of Montreal.
