Behind the Scenes Biltmore

This morning we visited Biltmore Estate for the final time and took the behind the scenes tour. The tour shows guests another 60% of the house and gives us a more complete view of America's largest private residence.
It confirmed our view that the house is huge! Learnt that the owners haven't lived there for 50 years. The house opened it's doors to public in 1930 during depression. One could guess that the economic downturn of the era must have harmed the family's fortune.
