p69rrh51... Hats off to your research abilities, I used to jog by this home for years and always wondered what it looked like inside....that library is jaw dropping and reminds me of the one that is in the Biltmore estate down in NC although not as big as the Vanderbilt collection it still looks like a great place to cozy up to the fireplace with an old book. Thanks again for providing a great thread!!!!

Thx Eastside! I also have been a fan of the library. At one time one could see the library from Windmill Pointe but with the newer landscaping the home has become hard to see from the street.
