  • "The front was broken by a line of French windows" + "Georgian Colonial Mansion"

    Refers to French aristocracy; showing that people of the highest social class have always been wealthy and did not participate in the 'American Dream'. Suggests they are descendants of the richest European settlers and always have been rich

  • This contrasts with Gatsby's house as it was seen as an 'imitation' of French aristocracy, which highlights that Gatsby will never reach that social class he desires to be a part of and therefore highlights the futility of the 'American Dream'
