As a point of comparison the size of the average American home is 2400 sq ft. To be considered a mansion a dwelling must be in excess of 8,000 sq ft. Below are 15 Magnificent Mansions ranging in style from historic Colonial Georgian estates to French Renaissance architecture.

    Great to see the Schenck Mansion in Switzerland County (Vevay) Indiana on this list! It is stunning, and a must-see for anyone interested in prominent historic structures focusing on the elegance of the past. The Schenck Mansion is currently operating as a B&B, and owners Lisa & Jerry Fisher invite you to visit their 35-room mansion built in 1874 by riverboat captain Benjamin Franklin Schenck. For more information, contact 812-427-2787. See more about the Schenck Mansion on the Switzerland County Tourism website at http://www.vevayin.com.
