According to fire experts, the house would have suffered more damage if the crew from Fire Department did not arrive on time.
"If they didn't get there when they did, it could have been much worse. It's a historic home." a spokesperson for the fire department told the New York Post.

The full extent of the damage to the mansion is not yet clear.
Legit.ng understands the mansion has six and a half bathrooms and covers 15,200 square feet.
