However, if you know where to look, you can find marvels such as this. It's "Burt Coleman's Retreat" built by Burt in the 1930's using the proceeds of his moonshining business.
You'll probably recognise the design as being a scale model of the Schönbrunn Palace, in Vienna. Unfortunately, Burt chose to scale it by 93% meaning that it was actually more trouble that it was worth. So, despite using cheap labour from the post-Wall St Crash depression, Burt went bust just before completion.
