I question the source of the statement that this building is " ....modelled on the ancestral Dunsmuir estate in Scotland." Robert Dunsmuir came from a reasonably prosperous family in Scotland, but nothing I have read so far would indicate there was anything like a "Dunsmuir estate". Is there a source for this statement?

  • Removed noted text. My reading and info reviewed on tour of building do not contain any such info. KenWalker | Talk 01:05, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
    • Sounds good. When I toured there last year, they had a whole room dedicated to the history of the place but, in the middle of a mostly-guided tour, I didn't have time to pore over all of it. I don't remember hearing that statement during that tour. I bet you could inquire with the museum society that owns it and get some accurate info. (BTW I have more pictures of the place that I need to find and post on Commons. Stay tuned for those.) —Wknight94 (talk) 11:21, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
