It was the home of Faith Theological Seminary. I had friends that attended there and was able to go inside in the late '80's. The ballroom and copper beach trees stood out the most in my memory.

The interiors of this building are straight out of baroque Rome!

[@billyphilly22]

Can't they hold still on the detail! ...beautiful home!

[@stuffedbeagle]

I know right!...but keep in mind they are trespassing, so they are kinda in a hurry...hehe...LUV BEAGS 🐶

[@sharonpyfer6711]

Great video, as always. Are they trying to preserve it now?

[@stuffedbeagle]

Yes, they are now converting it into a upscale hotel...at least we can save one of these structures...LUV BEAGS 🐶

Fun fact my dad used to work here in his early 20s helping the nuns maintain the property with his 2 friends told me the full history of the property it’s actually really interesting but beautiful property tho

[@johnlgasper2348]

I never really understood why really rich guys had to build such monster homes, maybe it was just too impress others to show them just what wealth can buy, 25 bedrooms, 40 bathrooms, a full gym, movie theatre to accommodate 75 people, indoor swimming pool, game room, ballroom, garage to hold 100 cars, up to date kitchen. Now, here is the stupidity of these homes, heating & cooling bills all year round, car & home insurance monthly bills, servant bills, seems to me these people have more money then brains.

Clearly had aether tech

I wish the basement was filmed more...and the attic!...LUV BEAGS 🐶

@@stuffedbeagle for example the drapers guild states an interest in textiles but deeper digging will show they had a stronger interest in moon and astronomy

[@Pandabeer7865]

The video doesn’t capture how large and vast this building is in person

[@stuffedbeagle]

and that says a lot!...LUV BEAGS 🐶

[@inquisitive-]

I would guess it belonged to prominence of the fishmongers guild

[@stuffedbeagle]

Now that made me chuckle 😂 ...LUV BEAGS 🐶

[@inquisitive-]

@@stuffedbeagle but I was serious. Look it up. Their symbols were all over and references to fishing. They controlled the fish market and financing from all fishing industries
