Algeria Farm - 4K Edition - Project Algerine

The Algeria Farm in Erie County, Pennsylvania, was built in the late 19th century by William L. Scott as part of his plan to establish a world-class horse racing and breeding facility. The farm featured a three-quarter-mile racetrack, 126 box stables, a hospital, a boarding house for workers, and even a schoolhouse for employees' children. The farm spared no expense, using only the finest equipment and materials, and was heated by natural gas wells piped from Scott's adjoining property.
