Well yeah, I am aware of that Imhotep Evil, It was just that Horta's architecture was particularly Modern at that time. Art Nouveau was a style or decorative/applied art, not a movement. The Art Nouveau style is a part of the Modern movement.

One of the nicest over there is the Breakers you should check it out on the web.

That would be great audi_rudy, I would love to see them myself one day ...they are interesting houses.

LOL, well I wouldn't choose to live in such a huge house either ....in spite of what it appears, I am not any where near as materialistic or showy as I might sometimes seem

I'd have no problem living in a house the size of Kentucky, so long as it was a fabulous piece of architecture. Trump's mansion, on the other hand, is a crass embarrassment with wanton disregard for good taste or fine craftsmanship.

Rob, I'm of the mind that the persuit of fine objects, cars and the like don't necessarily equate to being showy or materialistic. There's people who gravitate twoards luxury paraphernalia because of cachet and then there's those who can appreciate the truely finer things in life.

The greatest estates aren't necessarily the largest or most feature-filled just as the world's finest watches aren't diamond encrusted or cast from solid gold.

I saw this on VH1 a while ago... one of the most expensive houses in the US.
Don't like it to be honest. I could never live in a house that big.

I cannot express to you how much I agree with you Josh ...everything you have said here is precisely what i believe too.

To sterial in my opinion, too much space. Would just look silly to lie there by the pool all by yourself..

I'm loathe to defend the Trump mansion, but it is unfurnished.
