FYI... there was no indoor pool.-only the large casino building. The bar had an ebony grand piano and lighted stain glass panels of devil women (wine, women, song). There was a bookcase on the west side of the room that would swing away to reveal a hidden office for times when they would get raided. on the back side of the building were private gambling rooms. In one photo posted you can see a three car garage but that was expanded to a 6 car garage with two garage apartments (grandma and grandpa lived in one and his gardener lived in the other) and the gambling hall was also lengthened. Someone said that photo was circa 1950 but I know it was much earlier that. probably 1930. There were a lot more trees and shrubbery that were full grown by 1955. A large rose garden was in front of the pool. The house had a large curved staircase. One of the upstairs bathrooms had black sink and toilet and bathtub. Everything was very art deco. I have a few pieces of furniture from the house. The extension at the end of the house was a huge kitchen. My grandma canned pickles, jams and sauerkraut there.

Would anyone like more information on the mansion? I can tell you what it looked like inside. My grandfather was the caretaker there for many years and he and grandma lived in the garage apartment. I would visit and stay with them in the summers- this was 1955 to 1967. After my grandpa died, my aunt lived there for a few years and when she moved out it went to ruin- about 1970 by that time and later it burned down.
