America’s 11 largest historic homes and what the estates look like today
Wealthy tycoons built some of the largest and most opulent historic houses of 50,000 square feet or larger in America, most of which are no longer used as private homes but have been adapted for reuse.
The sprawling estates, all built before 1950, now serve as research labs, country clubs, museums and educational centers — whether through endowment or outright purchase. Some remain in private hands while others are now publicly owned.
