Built between 1897 and 1900, this 110-room mansion was designed by architect Horace Trumbauer for industrialist Peter A.B. Widener.
The Widener family amassed a collection that included works by Rembrandt, El Greco, and Raphael, many of which are now housed in the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C.
This nickname reflects its opulent design and grandeur, reminiscent of the famous French palace.
The mansion's ballroom could accommodate up to 1,000 guests, showcasing the lavish lifestyle of its original owners.
Despite its grandeur, the mansion has remained mostly vacant since the mid-20th century, leading to its current state of disrepair.
The mansion's unique architecture and historical ambiance have made it a sought-after location for various film and photography projects.
Despite lacking formal training, Trumbauer became one of the most prominent architects of his time, designing numerous notable buildings.
