It all starts with the quality of the product and the people who support it.

The Biltmore Estate: A Historic Marvel The Biltmore Estate in Asheville, North Carolina, is the largest privately owned home in the United States. Built by George Washington Vanderbilt II, this French Renaissance chateau was completed in 1895. Designed by architect Richard Morris Hunt, it features 250 rooms, including 35 bedrooms, 43 bathrooms, and 65 fireplaces. The estate spans an impressive 178,926 square feet, which is roughly equivalent to over three standard American football fields. Originally, the estate sat on 125,000 acres of land. The landscaping, created by Frederick Law Olmsted (yes, New York's Central Park creator), includes formal gardens, woodlands, and agricultural fields. Innovations and Contributions The estate pioneered sustainable land management practices, establishing America's first managed forest and a forestry school. Vanderbilt’s commitment to conservation significantly impacted U.S. environmental practices. Remarkably, it was also the first house south of the Mason-Dixon Line to have electricity. Cultural and Artistic Significance The Biltmore houses an extensive collection of European art and rare books. Highlights include the 10,000-volume library, one of the most exclusive private libraries in the country, and the grand Banquet Hall, reflecting the opulence of the Gilded Age. Today’s Biltmore Spanning 8,000 acres, the estate includes gardens, trails, and the Biltmore Winery, attracting around 1.4 million visitors annually. It remains a testament to architectural innovation and historical grandeur. Despite being built over 130 years ago, it still holds the record as the largest home ever constructed in America. Interestingly, it was built by a northern investor who desired a summer home in North Carolina, a trend that continues to this day. #BiltmoreEstate #NorthCarolina #History #Mansion #Asheville

The Trailer Park Re-Imagined: Walled Garden Courtyards https://lnkd.in/euiBrgng The 'stigma' attaching to mobile home parks owes more to the neglect of the space between mobile homes than to the mobile home itself. Therefore transform these spaces from negatives to positives by use of walls, trees, awnings, and decks. In this way the middle class will finally and firmly embrace the trailer park.

A news story that isn’t new news… Since 2002 I’ve been consistently working on the teardowns/mansionization issue, first when the National Trust for Historic Preservation named Teardowns and ‘Older and Historic Neighborhoods’ to its America’s 11 Most Endangered Historic Places. Then and still now, teardowns is fundamentally the practice of demolishing existing homes to replace with new, usually three times the size, though the associated impacts vary and also who is doing the tearing down. Consistently it has been an issue about throwing away resources and livability. Back then we did a publication (Taming the Teardown Trend), a toolkit, and lots of national outreach to help communities tailor land use and preservation policies to respond to this issue. Here’s the latest, a washingtonpost.com piece in a long series of new stories, in this case focused on teardown impacts on Modernist homes, and renewed interest sparked from a teardown of a celebrated 1950 Los Angeles house by a celeb couple… @laconservancy
