Thank you so much! Dr. Dane S. Claussen
Take a look at some of the Dover publications from c. 1980: _Bicknell's Victorian Buildings_ (1979), _American Victorian Architecture_ (1975), _Sloan's Victorian Buildings_ (1980). All reproduce floor plans from the mid-19th century and some include prices. And keep in mind that $30,000 in 1875 would have equivalent purchasing power today to about $700,000. And real estate was less expensive then today's equivalents. So the friend could have afforded a very large house.

Your query about the NYC newspaper, The Hub, gave me a delightful time one December morning at the New York Historical Society. We were in the city as part of family holiday visits.
Here is what I found: The NYHS has scattered issues of The Hub [published monthly in New York City] from v. 13-14 (Feb. 1877) to v. 41 (Apr. 1890). I asked them to pull their first and last volumes.
