 * The biltmore house was originally a part-time home of the Vanderbilt family of New York City. It was built south of Asheville in the 1890s. Today as it was then is still the biggest private residence in the United States. It took five years to complete the 250-room Biltmore House. Biltmore immediately looked like a medieval palace ready to host knights and ladies in waiting. The Vanderbilts installed modern conveniences like a furnace, 43 indoor bathrooms, kitchen, indoor swimming pool, and a bowling alley. Biltmore was moer than just a house; it had a complete estate of farms and mills around it. Biltmore remains a home of the descendants of the Vanderbilts. More than 1,500 people work there, and 900,000 people come to see the house, forest, and grounds each year. **
