For three years I lived around the corner from this mansion. Some of it was used as office space.
The actual construction of the mansion is fascinating, as were the confirmed portions of history about a silver baron leaving his wife to be with his mistress. The two of them disappeared.
Unconfirmed urban legends include the carriage house floor being excavated and two skeletons -- one male, one female -- being found and assumed to be the husband and his mistress.
Another urban legend included misfortune befalling young women -- twisting ankles, breaking limbs, and feeling menaced -- outside the place at night. The mansion is located in a busy neighborhood on Capitol Hill with a lot of foot traffic.
It's too bad this film has no cohesive story through its running time, the subject could have been fascinating, but is not.
