I visited Casa Loma one sunny day, North America's only castle. Built by a man named Henry Pellatt, who apparently had more money than sense, in 1914 it cost $3.5 million in old timey money. (That is $76 million in today's money, I Googled it.) It has 98 rooms covering 64,700 square feet thereby being large enough to conceivably house the population of Dingle. There would be fights over who gets the fanciest suites but they'd make it work I'm sure. He also had a garage full of cars, a stable full of horses, a wine cellar full of wine and unfortunately never got around to completing his bowling alley, swimming pool and gym. Within ten years all of his dollars were gone and he and his wife had to move out of his dream home.
