__** ﻿Biltmore House **__

Biltmore House in North Carolina was the most expensive residences ever built was constructed. This was great irony because of the fact that during this time North Carolina was very poor. The Biltmore House, originally a part-time home of the Vanderbilt family of New York City, was built just south of Asheville in the 1890s. It was then, and is today, the largest private residence in the United States. It took five years to complete the 250-room Biltmore House. Biltmore was more than just a house; it had a complete estate of farms and mills around it. George W. Vanderbilt raised his family in the house. After VAnderbilt died in 1914, his widow reduced the family holdings, selling the village and the forest but keeping the dairy. More tahn 1,500 people work there, and more tahtn 900,000,000 people come to see the house, grounds, and forest each year.
