In the late 19th century, mansions and the Metropolitan Museum of Art rose on Fifth Avenue and brownstones lined the side streets.

The great mansion rose out of the sickly greenish water of the canal.

Immense palaces and mansions, the abodes of nobility and rich merchants, rose like islands out of a vast sea of slums.

The mansion rises on the site where the synagogue of the small Jewish community of Trento used to stand.

This was one of the later big houses to go up on Park Avenue, where mansions and apartment houses rose in tandem from 1905 through the next decade.

The pace quickened during the late 1870's and the 1880's, when mansions rose along the park and sturdy row houses marched down side streets to the west.

It is empty, however, soon to be torn down so that another mansion can rise.

Not far ahead, a large mansion rose above the street, set on a massive stone base.

Almost Venetian, it seemed, the somber multicolored mansions and tenements rising wall to wall over the narrow black streets.

By 1792 mansions had risen on either side of the avenue in the fashionable new residential area settled by the Málaga merchant class.
