Largest Home Ever Built in Belmont

April 6, 2010

I have always been so impressed with this now school/university. If you haven’t been there to see this, give yourself a treat. Located on the campus of Notre Dame Demur at 1500 Ralston Avenue.

This is the largest home ever built in Belmont, and was completed in 1867. It has 55,000 square feet, four stories, 75 rooms, in-laid wood floors, 23 crystal chandeliers and a mirrored ballroom with opera box. William Ralston sure didn’t leave an expense out.

Hey all,

What beautiful weather we are having. I just love it. Driving down Arroyo and all the trees in blossom. Then  headin on Brittan and the rows of tress all in blossom. Priceless. Flowers, blossoms and more. Oh yeah! I am not partial to this picture, but I do love the red poppies.
