Part 6/14:
The estate was a fortress of luxury, with the main house comprising 74 rooms constructed from sturdy stone and wood, embodying a mix of rustic charm and American grandeur. The façade featured irregularly laid limestone, massive stone slate roofs, and an eclectic array of chimneys. The central façade was distinguished by a decorative half-tower and an ornate Gothic archway framing the main entrance, complemented by a three-sided medieval-style bay window. Winding double staircases created a theatrical approach, accentuating its imposing and dramatic presence.
