Located on the West Coast in Dunedin, FL., and is known as Villa Marino.

W.K. Kellogg, founder of the Kellogg Company that revolutionized breakfast via ready-to-eat cereal, purchased it in 1934.

The interior is a wild mashup of styles and textures, and colors. There is marble and velvet, and crystal. There are tile mosaics of chariot races, stained-glass windows and hand-painted murals of the Taj Mahal.
A staircase to nowhere suggests it may have been designed by the notable architect Addison Mizner. The canopy bed is supposedly carved from trees from Thomas Jefferson’s Monticello, and the actor Sean Connery,  is believed, once bunked down in the guest house.

Although it seemed that the mansion’s fortunes had turned around when it was sold this year for $4 million, a devastating blow followed. The new owners refused Historic Designation and announced plans to demolish this historic house, citing concerns about asbestos, mold, and structural issues.
