One thinks of the unified rows of town houses built 100 years earlier, and then looks at the boisterous streets full of 'ma tu vue' houses built 100 years later---usually handsome in themselves, but with little regard for each other, and it becomes a metaphor for the times, and for the way New York grew and has grown---a veritable cacaphony. Sort of like that sentence.
I love the Hodge podge of styles in New York. But I always thought of this mansion as just an extension to the Duke Mansion. Poor thing.
