Epstein's Manhattan Mansion and other Mysteries I was curious about this Manhattan Mansion of Epstein's. It is at 9 E.71st St.The building has a long and curious history. A set of properties along 71st St were razed in the 20s to make way for a luxury apartment building that never was built. The lot was then purchased by a millionaire, Herbert Straus. The building and interiors were 90% complete when Straus abandoned the project. He died, the heirs sat on it for a decade and donated it to the Catholic church--to the archdiocese. They eventually ran a hospital out of it and then a school. The school moved and Wexner bought it in 1989. He spent tens of millions on the renovation and never lived there. According the the article, an adviser said that Wexner spent no more than two months there. And then he just gave it to Epstein. The house was originally decorated in the French Renaissance style. When converting it to a hospital, two of the rooms were donated to the Metropolitan Museum of Art's period room collection. You will see a picture in the article of the building functioning as a hospital. The white tiled room is very similar to other white tiled rooms we have seen as backdrop in some of the Podesta paintings background, some of the swimming pools. A second article from Heavy.com reinforces much of this and states that Straus had owned Macy's. It also shows a picture image of the deed for the house. Curiously the deed is signed in 2011, but the article shows Epstein taking over the mansion in 1996. The deed grants Epstein the house for ten dollars. Guess who lives across the street? Bill Cosby. Wall street financier Walter Lutnick lives next door at 11E. Here's a bit of a desciption: "Visitors described a bathroom reminiscent of James Bond movies: hidden beneath a stairway, lined with lead to provide shelter from attack and supplied with closed-circuit television screens and a telephone, both concealed in a cabinet beneath the sink. The house also has a heated sidewalk." And a bit of sick description as reported by Vicky Ward in her 2003 Vanity Fair piece on Epstein: “The entrance hall is decorated not with paintings but with row upon row of individually framed eyeballs; these, the owner tells people with relish, were imported from England, where they were made for injured soldiers. Next comes a marble foyer, which does have a painting, in the manner of Jean Dubuffet … but the host coyly refuses to tell visitors who painted it. In any case, guests are like pygmies next to the nearby twice-life-size sculpture of a naked African warrior.”  At this point I don't know about you but I am beginning to see any number of seemingly random threads connect like maybe Cosby, Weinstein, Podesta, Weiner, NXVIM, Clintons, Buck--and the really big question is who is controlling Epstein. According to Amazing Polly's video, Bill Barr's father was running the Dalton school and hired Epstein to teach math and physics. The really curious things about this include: Epstein had dropped out of college and therefore the likelihood of his being hired to teach at a prestigious school would normally be zilch and, within a year, Barr was basically forced out and it sounds to me as if Epstein initiated his removal. Epstein also knew Ghislaine Maxwell from girlhood forward--he was said to be the protege of her father Robert--who was a publishing tycoon, and who, I think, helped Epstein's career. He disappeared in the water one night, off his boat, from an apparent heart attack and menwhile Epstein at Dalton is befriended by Bears Stearns and secures a job there. So it seems likely he is CIA/Mossad but I think there is even more to the story. I'm still thinking about how and why and what it all appears to suggest. https://daytoninmanhattan.blogspot.com/2012/07/the-1933-herbert-straus-mansion-no-9.html https://heavy.com/news/2019/07/jeffrey-epstein-house/ https://daytoninmanhattan.blogspot.com/2012/07/the-1933-herbert-straus-mansion-no-9.html
