Is there any interest.......

<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/9906/gwv.jpg"></center><p>In an ocassional post containing tidbits of information about Biltmore Estate??

Might be fun to spark an interest in the place...

BTW, this dude is George Washington Vanderbilt. He's the one responsible for bringing together Richard Morris Hunt and Frederick Law Olmstead to help him create Biltmore Estate....

Not an overwhelming response...but, here is tidbit #1...

<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/9906/biltmore_002_copy.jpg"></center><p>
Mr. Vanderbilt named the home BILTMORE combining the Dutch village where the Vanderbilt family originated -BILDT- with the Old English word for rolling hills -MORE.

Biltmore House took 5(6) years to finish-depending on the source of information.
