I live less than 5 mins away from here and would just like to add that this house recently went under a major renovation. So it didn't look exactly like this when Paul lived there. It is much much more extravagant now compared to when he lived in it. Solid video!

I lived a few houses away from the early 70s through the late 80s and watched the Castellano home being built in the late 70s. The home was definitely more subdued than it is today; the original exterior was a yellowish brick colonial with a rounded portico and two columns. The neighborhood kids and I would wave to the security cameras as we went by on our bikes.

People say Castellano was more a business man but he was totally ruthless vis-a-vis getting rid of people including two of his daughters boyfriends, great work here again mate you are the top of the tree at these videos, its amazing driving up to the house imagine the energy around it with his captains going there amazing history, Neil Dellacroce, Gotti, Gravano. Frankie Nose and Frankie DeCicco and so many more. Castellano was a massive guy too.

I was born in Staten Island in '65. We lived on Ward Hill and Grimes Hill. A lot of good memories.😎👍

BTW I absolutely love all your videos.

Just a quick fact- Paul Castellano was liked by the majority of the capos and crews. There were a few capos and crews that were angry and a bit jealous because Carlo passed over Neil Dellacroce for boss so they would move up by association. Paul was a great business minded boss and became Boss of all Bosses on the Commission. When he started sleeping with the maid and flaunting it is when people started becoming angry and disgruntled. Then tapes came up that led to indictments which further cemented his unpopular position.

The tapes had nothing with making people hate Paul the tapes actually were gonna make Paul mad bc John and his crew were on them admitting to selling drugs which was against the rules Paul was a real old school guy most of the commission was it was a known fact if you delt drugs you got killed so John hit him before he hit them
