Later Life
After serving his short prison term, Sinclair returned to his successful business. He had owned a luxurious French Renaissance-style château on the southeast corner of Fifth Avenue and 79th Street in New York City. His reputation destroyed, in 1930 Sinclair sold the property. Located in the same area as several major museums, it was eventually acquired by the Ukrainian Institute of America and is now open to the public.
