Exteriors

The exteriors of mansions were usually made of brick and had fabulous gardens. The gardens had sitting areas with floral decorations and the branches of trees were on the sides of the walkways. Most of the time, the wood on the outside of the mansion is painted white, with crown molding.

Travel

In the 1800s a wide spread of railroads were laid, so that the wealthy could travel much faster. Also the steam boat was invented that made it possible to go across sea.

Past times

What is wealth in 1800's?

Rich people had many pastimes. Horse racing was carried on for centuries before the 18th century but at this time it became a professional sport. For the well off (rich people), they played lots of card games. They also went to theater events.
