1885 Staten Island Mansion with History

Standing on the hill overlooking Arthur Kill since 1885, it was one of two mansions built by German immigrant Balthasar Kreischer for his sons Charles and Edward. There are rumours of infidelity, mismanagement, financial troubles and murder that fueled a feud between the brothers. Balthasar, Edward, Edward's wife, their children, and cook, perished in a mysterious fire that destroyed their home. The remaining Mansion was run as a restaurant front to the mafia until 1996. In 1998 the Mansion was bought with the intention of restoration and eventual sale by Isaac Yomtovian. Yomtovian Group has been the proud owner of the landmarked (and potentially haunted) Mansion for almost 20 years. This Mansion has been featured on Boardwalk Empire! Gotham, The Bones and more!
