Epstein’s former residence 'is a neo-French Classic mansion between Madison and Fifth Avenues, near Central Park – fifty feet wide and seven stories high, the structure has around 28,000 square feet and includes 10 bedrooms and 15 bathrooms'.

The 2021 report said, “The mansion was built in 1933 for Herbert N Straus, an heir to the Macy’s fortune who died before it was completed; it later became part of St. Clare Hospital and then a private school. In 1989, Mr Epstein’s mentor, Leslie Wexner, the founder of L Brands, bought the building for around $13.2 million and converted it into a private residence.”

Billionaire spends 15 years building cliffside ‘Versailles’ mansion — and lists for $108M
...
Deason’s Sandcastle boasts nearly 13,000 square feet of opulence, with intricate stone columns, expansive balconies, and its own private, elevated beach.

Inside, it’s a full-on ode to old-world Europe, with extravagant mosaics, marble floors, and rooms gleaming with solid gold accents. The guesthouse is modeled after Versailles’s Le Petit Trianon.
...
His vision? A fusion of French elegance and the iconic Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc in Antibes, a spot he’s long admired.
...
The grand living room in the main house features elaborately coffered ceilings and a wall of arched windows overlooking the bay, leading to a massive wraparound terrace. A dining room seats 16 under a crystal chandelier, with gold-leaf detailing and antique cabinets to match.











Unsurprisingly:

Between 2017 and June 30, 2019, Deason donated $1 million to the America First Policies-tied America First Action super PAC.[10] Deason later contributed $405,000 to Donald Trump's 2020 presidential campaign.[11]

Deason's son, Doug Deason, is also a major Republican donor, and a member of the Koch Brothers' political network.[12]

Deacon also looks like what we would expect:

Our enemies admit that the Western notion of architectural beauty is "conspicuous consumption":

https://www.takimag.com/article/the-year-zero-of-american-architecture/

Quote
Why do some buildings make us happier than other buildings?

Tom Wolfe offered an eye-opening explanation in his 2003 collegiate novel I Am Charlotte Simmons: “the existence of conspicuous consumption one has rightful access to—as a student had rightful access to the fabulous Dupont Memorial Library—creates a sense of well-being.”

But why did architects suddenly lose interest in their traditional task of providing the pleasures of conspicuous consumption eight decades ago?
...
The dirty secret of many of the world’s greatest buildings is that they are great because they are expensive (they please us because they indulge our desire for rightful access to conspicuous consumption)

This is why Western civilization is aesthetically the most inferior civilization in the world.

Our enemies include an example:

As for the answer to our enemies' question:

Quote
Why did architects turn against appealing architecture in 1945?

Counterculture, duh!

Unfortunately the Counterculture era ended:

Quote
In this century, however, there has been some evidence that the public is finally getting what it wants rather than what academic architects feel it deserves.

Continuing:

Quote
For instance, here’s the new firehouse near USC:



Surprisingly, the new firehouses being built on the bigger lots by an architectural firm in San Bernardino are constructed in styles that brawny men with mustaches appreciate.

It is unsurprising that conspicuous consumption correlates with high sexual dimorphism.

Quote
DiAngelo told host Jalon Johnson that the iconic painting “The Creation of Adam” is “the single image I use to capture the concept of white supremacy.”

As she described the masterpiece to the podcast’s whopping 188 YouTube subscribers, DiAngelo made a major gaffe: “God is in a cloud and there’s all these angels, and he’s reaching out and he’s touching — I don’t know who that is, David or something?”


...
“And God is white and David is white and the angels are white — that, that is the perfect convergence of white supremacy, of patriarchy.”

She then goes on to mention she was raised Catholic (did Adam and Eve not get a mention in Sunday school?), and recollects looking up at art in church.

“I didn’t think to myself that God is white, but that, in a lot of ways, is power,” she explained. “I don’t need to. God just reflects me … I always belong racially to what is depicted as the human ideal.”

Not only did DiAngelo mislabel Adam as "David", but more importantly she mislabelled Yahweh as "God". But at least she means well.
