Biografia[modifica]
Florence nacque a Staten Island. Era figlia di William Henry Vanderbilt, e di sua moglie, Maria Louisa Kissam[2].
Suo nonno paterno era il Commodoro Cornelius Vanderbilt.
Matrimonio[modifica]
Nel 1877, Florence sposò Hamilton McKown Twombly (1849-1910), figlio di Alexander Hamilton Twombly[3]. Ebbero quattro figli:
- Alice Twombly (1879-1896)[4][5];
- Florence Vanderbilt Twombly (1881–1969), sposò William Armistead Moale Burden[6][7];
- Ruth Twombly (1884–1954)[8];
- Hamilton McKown Twombly, Jr. (1887–1906)[9][10].
Suo marito morì nel 1910 dopo una lunga malattia[11][12][13] According to an obituary, his death was from "cancer and a broken heart" over the death of his son.[14][15].
Residenze[modifica]
Durante la sua vita, Florence era conosciuta per le sue numerose residenze, tra cui la sua casa a schiera nella 684 Fifth Avenue a New York progettata da John B. Snook e donata da suo padre. La casa fu venduta a John D. Rockefeller Jr. nel 1925[16].
Vinland, una "casetta" romanica a Newport, nel Rhode Island, costruita nel 1882 per l'erede del tabacco Catharine Lorillard Wolfe, acquistata dai Twomblys nel 1896 e notevolmente ampliata. Oggi fa parte della Salve Regina University e chiamata McAuley Hall[17].
Florham, una tenuta di 800 acri a Florham Park, nel New Jersey, è stata progettata da McKim, Mead & White nel 1897[2]. Parte di essa, incluso il maniero, appartiene ora alla Farleigh Dickinson University[18][19]. A Florham, Florence possedeva una collezione di quindici auto, tra cui sei Rolls-Royce[20].
Una seconda casa di 70 camere situata in 1 East 71st Street, a New York, era stata progettata da Whitney Warren e fu demolita[21].
Morte[modifica]
Morì l'11 aprile 1952 a New York. Fu sepolta al Woodlawn Cemetery[22].
