   The place is stunning. This is how the people in the American Guilded Age spent their money.

4. More info on the Biltmore Estate.
   The Landscape Architect of the Biltmore Estate had a successful career, see list of his other accomplished works within this link:

   If you’ve ever been to “The British Properties” in Vancouver B.C. or “Mount Royal Park” inaugurated in 1876, in Montreal, you’ve visited an Olmstead masterpiece of landscape architecture. I visited the latter when I lived there. It is beautiful.

5. I’ve lived near Asheville for almost 40 years and still haven’t visited. Everyone says I should.

   1. There were many more YouTube’s available on this subject.
      Nice to visit in person though. I would like to see this place. The quality of things then was superior to stuff nowadays. I learned that this was modeled after a Chateaux in the Loire Valley in France. The architecture is splendid.
