Biltmore House


As one can see in the picture the Biltmore House should have been called the Biltmore Chateau. The house, located near Asheville, North Carolina, was built between 1889 and 1895 by George Washington Vanderbilt II. George the II was the great grandson of Cornelius "The Commodore" Vanderbilt the Railroad mogul.
One can take a self-guided tour of many of the 250 rooms which include numerous bedrooms for guests, library room, living rooms, game rooms, a weight room, swimming pool, servant quarters, and 43 bathrooms just to name a few.
