This house, "the undisputed . . . star among nearly a hundred handsome Victorian dwellings in the Stapleton area", was given by "a German-born beer baron named George Bechtel, who was said to be the richest man on Staten Island," to his daughter as a wedding present in 1888. On screen, it has served as the home of Chalky White in the HBO series Boardwalk Empire. You can see a slew of photos of this gorgeous house and its ornate interior, which features a surprising number of stained-glass windows, in this audio slide show.

"This house appears to be the result of several building campaigns starting with a frame, Gothic Revival-style house constructed c.1855-59 by Charles F.E. and Bernhardine Sudendorf, and continuing in the late-nineteenth century with Queen Anne-style additions by owner Louise Pommer, and in the early twentieth century with Colonial Revival-style enhancements by owner George W. Stake."

Here's a great view of the front of the house.
