The House that the Circus Built – The James Bailey Mansion

The latest episode of my podcast has been released – The House that the Circus Built- The James Bailey Mansion and can be heard at www.Harlem-Stories.com or your favorite podcast app.  In this episode we discuss the James A. Bailey mansion - who is the less famous partner of the Barnum and Bailey Circus. Yes, he was P.T. Barnum's partner. The Bailey mansion today is one of the rare free standing single family homes in all of Manhattan today. We discuss the original construction and details of the home, how the Great Recession resulted in the house selling at an 84% discount from the original asking price- and it's current residence and how it's used in tv and movie filming today.  In case you missed any of previous episodes you can also listen at the same link above or subscribe via Apple Podcasts and Spotify under the name Harlem Stories.  Thank you for listening to Harlem Stories.This is the final episode until this fall while we take a break for the summer and work on some new episodes. #nycrealestate #manhattan #podcast #manhattanhistory #nychistory #uws #morningsideheights #harlem #hamiltonheights #manhattanville #washingtonheights #hudsonheights #condo #co-op #brownstone #townhouse #buying #realestate #sugarhill #fortgeorge #eastharlem #manhattanvalley #bloomingdale
