The Wackiest Home in Every State

North Carolina: Biltmore Estate

George Vanderbilt, the grandson of famed industrialist Cornelius Vanderbilt, erected this 250-room French Renaissance chateau in Asheville, North Carolina, as a testament to his wealth and taste in 1889. Filled with a number of architectural treasures (like a two-story library), this estate continues to be one of the most prominent examples of the Gilded Age.

Though it’s still owned by the descendants of the Vanderbilts, tours are available to see this impressive mansion for yourself.
