America's largest abandoned home is coming back to life

A neoclassical masterpiece, Lynnewood Hall is considered one of the greatest surviving Gilded Age mansions in America. Yet, due to a complex and sad history, the stately home unfortunately fell into disrepair, its exquisite architecture languishing for over 70 years. Now, this sleeping beauty is reawakening and work is finally underway to restore the magnificent structure to its former glory. 

From ornate interiors and hidden tunnels to its tragic Titanic connection, click or scroll on to uncover the mysteries of this fascinating estate that's slowly coming back to life.
