"Biltmore House is a châteauesque style mansion near Asheville, North Carolina, built by George Washington Vanderbilt II between 1888 and 1895. It is the LARGEST PRIVATELY OWNED HOME in the United States at 175,000 square feet (16,300 m2) and featuring 250 rooms. Still owned by one of Vanderbilt's descendants, it stands today as one of the most prominent remaining examples of the Gilded Age."

North Carolina, July 2009.
