We will never see those days again. I wonder what the current cost to build. live, and maintain a place like that would be?? Quite spectacular.

As the old saying goes, "They don't build them like they used to". Beautiful pictures of a man's passion for art and architecture. Ironic that he didn't live long enough to enjoy it.
