At the time of the crash, all of the furnishings in the home were put
up for auction. It is said that 2,500 people showed up on the day of the
auction, some purchased the treasures inside and others went to look
at the mansion they had heard so much about. Stefan even sold his
family heirlooms, some dating back to the Chinese Han dynasty. Edith
wrote diary entries describing her experiences in the home during their
last year of ownership. Her published journal entries also describe how
much she missed her home aer she and Stefan settled into a condo on
67th Street in Manhattan.
