Part 4/13:
One of the most fascinating lost mansions was the so-called "Alaaddin Palace," named by locals after Edson Bradley’s opulent estate. Bradley, a prominent whiskey magnate, purchased the property in 1907 and embarked on an ambitious expansion. He transformed the original home into a sprawling 40-room palace blending English Jacobean and French Renaissance influences, importing authentic furnishings, antique woodwork, and even church fittings. It featured a grand 90-by-120-foot music hall capable of hosting private concerts, alongside luxurious suites for family and staff arranged around a European-style courtyard.
