General: Article is new enough and long enough
Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
QPQ: Done.

Overall: There's no doubt that this article is long enough; main hook is sourced, ALT 1 is sourced, ALT 2 is sourced but scattered; Earwig generates a good result; QPQ done. Judging this from a non-American perspective, the main hook is too long and too idiomatic for readers to understand, ALT 1 is very confusing for those who never knew about Vanderbilt. ALT 2 on the other hand is very quirky and I've proposed an ALT blurb for this: ALT2A:... that the George W. Vanderbilt Residence (pictured) has never been occupied by Vanderbilt himself?
