92,000 square-foot mansion being built in Oklahoma

[Great Rumbler]

Last year, the Edmond Planning Commission was asked to give approval to a mega mansion on the northwest corner of Sorghum Mill Road and Westminster Road.

"It's truly a castle," says Bob Schiermeyer, who saw the first renderings late last year and tells News 9 the plans call for a draw bridge and spires that reach 90 feet.

Schiermeyer says original plans called for a home that was around 75,000 square feet, but the home's architect says the home has now grown to 92,650 square feet. That architect says, if completed, the castle home will be the largest single family residence in the U.S.

It's like a mini Vanderbilt mansion.

And because it's in Oklahoma, it will still cost less than a 2,000 square foot condo in Toronto.

How, exactily, can you use the word "mini" in any way to describe this?

Waste of space and land.

Seems sensible. When a tornado hits it, they can just move to another wing

But what about all the Indian casinos that could have been built there?

I'm too poor to understand the point of mansions.
