Based on all the threads in here, made me want to go look at the Biltmore House, it's history has it being built in 1889, which I think has it in the "suspicious" area. For those that don't live in the SE United States, you might not have ever heard of the Biltmore. It was "built" by George Vanderbilt in Ashville, NC, the history can be found here.

I thought for sure, I'd be able to point to this estate as questionable, but on cursory glance, I've found multiple construction pictures (below) and the architect, Richard Morris Hunt, doesn't seem obscure nor did he die penniless. Would love some assistance to see if we can find anything questionable about this estate.

Some build pictures:

And some "final" pictures

6 years sounds reasonable for this building. Very little ornament comparing to some other ones.

What you might want to investigate is the stone portion splitting the house in two.

Are there any pictures of the site with no building at all, or they used an older structure to build up?

Sometimes it’s not as obvious as it seems, even when you have construction pictures.

Only "site" photo I could find is this one, but I can't confirm if it's the actual site



What are your thoughts on this rock wall?

The house itself, while beautiful and constructed in the 19th century, does not have any elaborate plaster type details. Given the construction time frame of six years, an army of hired workers, a railroad to the site, a brick factory built on site, and producing 32,000 bricks a day... it does appear to be a genuin build.

The wall is hard to see on my phone right now.

In general, a photo of the area a year or two pre-construction would tell us everything. There is probably some data on what was there, at least officially.

Wikipedia has some good info on this mansion.

Still think this is an interesting split.

I think the house itself is legit. Did some additional googling. Techniques used are reasonable for the time, and tons of people are present.

But then I ran into this image titled "Walled garden under construction".

Am I the only one seeing those buried arches?

looks like this is a real house built atop of a magical tartarian construction

One way or the other, there is something untold about this story. Just like everywhere else, so to speak.

this is certainly an interesting phenomenon and Im also inclined to think there is more to it than coincidence. to dig deep into it I think requires following the money/economy and comparing it with each build date. that would be a huge task though and Im sure the obstructions would be as overwhelming as the buildings themselves.

I took some photos of one building sort of like these but not too sure if it fits in too well. it is the Biltmore House in Ashville NC. I went there for a car show years ago and the place was kinda creepy with all the gargoyles and even has a moloch or some other ram horn man fountain coming out of the rear side wall at ground level. I didnt really know what to think about all that other than strange at the time but it was before I was fully aware of such symbolism and now even the fact that so many all over the world share many similarities.

here is the wiki on it Biltmore Estate - Wikipedia


a few more. I should have taken more photos of it but if you look closely on some of them you can see the strange long neck bat like creatures hanging off the corners and there are heads/faces scattered around on it too.

I didnt go inside, other car owners and crew/family did so it was allowed but probably very limited access. now I wonder if it had bathrooms? lol hope some may find these photos useful. the cars are all Italian made in case anyone was wondering.

 
It's been said, Biltmore has the largest basement of any private residence in the U.S.
Well known in NC that Ashville's local gov is bought and paid for.
Rumor has it, Captain Kuchies Key Lime Pie was a celebrated dish unique to the area. A forbidden fruit shrouded in mystery.
 
Only "site" photo I could find is this one, but I can't confirm if it's the actual site

What is that landing site?

I think this is a really strange way of constructing.

Well, these walls are disappeared.

Another photo with a strange wall.
On their own Pinterest page you will find more old photo's.


And the interior is insane:
