George W. Vanderbilt's Biltmore Estate

Recalling the romance of turn-of-the-century elegance, George W. Vanderbilt's Biltmore Estate in Asheville, North Carolina offers a glimpse of a bygone era. The 250-room French Renaissance-style chateau, first opened in 1895, still houses original furnishings and art objects collected by Mr. Vanderbilt during his lifetime.


Dear Victor,

Lately we toured various splendid places between here & North Carolina. Biltmore counts as splendor in many ways.
