Otto Herman Kahn used it as his summer home at the time the great depression started.

The place is actually called Oheka Castle and is located on the grounds of the Cold Spring Country Club.
you can stay there for about $250 a night.
but its far from the biggest one on Long Island.

Pretty sure it is the largest on LI. I seem to recall that was, and is, the second largest private home ever built in America (the Vanderbilt home being the first, and i believe that was in one of the Carolinas, not sure, but it wasn't on Long Island)

Biltmore is near Asheville, NC. Oheka appears to be number 2.

Way too many floors to sweep.
No thanks.

Those that expanded the photo I posted can read at the bottom of the photo the name of the edifice. It's wonderful to read more information added as to location.
That is not a bad room rate provided it is close to other amenities.

Per the book I am reading, published 2009. confirms the above statement.
It might have a heliport rather than a runway. Can't confirm that right this instant.

I have seen this home in CA, (see below) and discovered it has an atrium that is the largest enclosed space in the USA for private homes.
From largest homes. Also this home is s bit larger than the Hearst Castle at San Simeon CA that I have toured on one of the 3 tours.
The Carolands Chateau is a65,000 square foot (6,000 m²) mansion in Hillsborough, California. Its 75 foot (23 m)-high atrium holds the record as the largest enclosed space in an American private residence. Considered a masterpiece of American Renaissance and Second Empire Beaux-Arts design, the building is a California Historical Landmark and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
