  Mr. Huntington still has a presence in Newport News, Virginia today. Huntington Ingalls (one of the oldest shipbuilders in America that he helped to found) still employing 13,000 to 19,000 workers at any given time), Huntington Park, Huntington Avenue (grand boulevard that is line with old, distinguished homes once occupied by some of the city's early elite that is just minutes from the shipyard he founded), and the Collis P. Huntington Library on the campus of one of the most prominent historically black colleges in America and the building still stands and is in immaculate condition and is currently being used as the college's museum which houses the largest collection of artwork of black Americans in the country).

  Arabella Huntington was a real mover &amp; shaker. I admire her intelligence &amp; business acumen.

  The Huntington Library in Pasadena/San Mario, next to CalTech, is a repository of much of Henry Huntington&apos;s collection. Mostly English portrait. &quot;Pinkie&quot; and &quot;Blue Boy&quot; are the collection&apos;s central pieces. The main focus is the research library, but the mansion and the expansive gardens are noteworthy. It&apos;s a rather popular TV film location.

  i have recently started working on the ancestry of the Henry Edward Huntington family. I discovered that John Acher Worsham was a confederate soldier for the state of Virginia. He lived till 1878. He also married someone other than Arabella. I could not find any marriage or divorce records for Arabella and John Archer. I am thinking that they met during the civil war. And I suspect she later learned that being a confederate soldier was frowned upon in New York? And so she figured out a way to find someone more suitable? I have a sense she might have become a real estate agent.. and this is what created a connection with both Collis and Henry Huntington.. I also learned that Henry Huntington also was a real estate agent. He later partnered with some others in sacramento, Ca as a grocery store owner.. and created a bit of wealth this way as well. John Archer Worsham didn&apos;t make much of himself in the army. I think he never made it past the rank of Private. It may be that he was conscrpted into the confederate army unwillingly? He &nbsp;ended up dieing in Georgia and was barried there. so it may be that he did have an affinity for the confederate mindset.. and I suspect he might have been an alcoholic and physically abused to arabella? and It may be that this may have come to the attention of Collis Huntington.. and this may have inspired him to marry her and also to adopt Archer. I could find no photos of Jahn Archer or his wife or children as of yet.. but If i can find some photos of decendents of his.. we may be able to see if there is any resemblence to Archer. I think you probably are correct that she probably became pregnant with Archer out of wed lock.. and John Archer may have been forced into marrying her to provide for a legitimate child. &nbsp;I do know that Henry Edward Huntington&apos;s first wife filed for divorce. I saw a report of this in a newspaper.. but it &nbsp;did not state what the reason was for the filing with the court for a divorce. &nbsp;I am still early into my research.. And I could only find one picture of his first wife so far.

  Thanks for the insight into the real life people that have inspired the series..It was a fascinating age..I hope you can do a show that will highlight the historic mansions and historic areas ( mostly in NYS and RI) where this series was filmed... upstate NY where I live is full of beautiful historic estates..

  Unfortunately, it looks like Mrs Chamberlain is not part of Season 2 of the Guilded Age!
