Скачать или смотреть The Dark History Of How The Titanic Destroyed The Palace of $300M - Lynnewood Hall

Discover the tragic history of Lynnewood Hall, the second largest surviving Gilded Age mansion in the United States. With 110 rooms, 55 bedrooms, and one of the most significant art collections in American history, this property was built by tycoon Peter A.B. Widener in 1899.

But what should have been a symbol of glory transformed into a monument of tragedy when the Widener family's fate crossed with that of the Titanic on that fateful night of April 1912.

📍 WHAT YOU'LL DISCOVER:

The record-breaking construction (only 2 years) of an Indiana limestone palace

The tragic connection to the Titanic sinking that killed George and Harry Widener

The art collection valued in billions (Raphael, Rembrandt, Vermeer, Donatello)

70 years of progressive abandonment and decay

The 33-acre French gardens designed by Jacques Gréber

The religious seminary that destroyed much of the interiors
