That cathedral is jawdropping. It looks like it belongs in Buenos Aires or something.

In my city, Oshawa which is outside of Toronto there is the Parkwood Estate. Its used alot for movie shoots, such as the X-men movies and Billy Madison. Theres a ton more movies filmed there i just cant remeber them all. If you go on a tour there they give you a huge list of all the movies filmed there.

Detroit has quite a few mansion districts ranging from the mid 1800's to the 1950's.

Indian Village, Boston-Edison, Arden Park, and Palmer Woods are the most prominent, though there are several other mansion districts throughout the city.

Here's a few pictures that I took:

some of those houses dont look like Mansions to me...although they are nice.

^^ Thats what I was thinking

A lot of them extend into their lot, as opposed to being wide on their lot.

Located just south of downtown Asheville, NC, this is Biltmore House, largest mansion in the United States. It has 250 rooms that cover more than four acres of floor space.

These aren't mansions...these are subdivisions. The only mansions I see are in the first few photos...and Biltmore.

If you got up close to these mansions you would be surprised how much bigger they look than the aerial.

Heidelberg, Germany

Looks stunning there... Tookrak is the posh suburb in Melbourne, though no pics of any of the mansions.

Wow some of these pics are amazing. Biltmore House looks HUGE. And Heidelberg, Germany looks really neat.

Here is one in Hamilton, just outside of Toronto, that I very much like. It is an
1835 Greek Revival manor; the very first Italiante style building built in North
America. View from front and back.
Second is Casa Loma in Toronto.

The real mansions in Ottawa are located in Rockcliffe Park. However, theres a rich neighbourhood just down the street here. I should go take some pics.

Here are some more mansions from Asheville. There are more, but it's hard to find publicly accessible pictures of them. Most of these photographs are historic, even, although the buildings they depict are all still standing. Bear in mind that some of these pictures don't do justice to exactly how large these houses are. The Reed House, now an inn, and Richmond Hill, also now an inn, especially are gigantic although you wouldn't think so from their pictures.

Yeah we have a lot of mansions but I can't be too fussed at the moment finding pictures however we have the world's two most expensive mansions in the world here in London.

Mittel's residence $130Million

http://im.rediff.com/money/2004/apr/27mittal.jpg

Updown Court $135Million

http://www.rhymerinvestments.com/images/fimg/updown_court_1.jpg

Anyone have pics of Modern Mansions...not the classical as has been posted thus far?

The second one looks totally California.

Updown Court? When did that break the record for Mittal's?

And does anyone know if Hong Kong has any mansions? I very much doubt it...because if it did the cost would probably escalate to, I'd imagine, atleast a couple of hundred million pounds.

I believe the previous record for most expensive house was held in Hong Kong (from 1997 - till Mittal broke it), and it was US$ 122 million for a house which was not much more than 5,000 square feet...

Ah...now I see it! You can't claim to having TWO of the world's most expensive mansions because one of them hasn't been sold...and therefore the price could vary based upon demand.

I honestly do wonder how much, a mansion built on the Peak would fetch in Hong Kong.

A penthouse (4,000 sq ft) in the newly developed Arch in West Kowloon was recently sold for HK$ 168 million....that's in surplus of US$ 20 million.

No No No Updown Court has been sold already to the Prince of Dubai for $135 Million.

Damn i hate that Prince(wait if Dubai's) so great why not spend his millions on his own mansion there?)
