Cà d'Zan

YES. Cà d'Zan, the winter home of John and Mable Ringling. The Ringlings' dazzling palatial mansion is a tribute to the American Dream and reflects the splendor and romance of Italy. Described as “the last of the Gilded Age mansions” to be built in America, Ca' d’Zan has 56 incredible rooms filled with art and original furnishings. With its Venetian Gothic architecture, the mansion is a combination of the grandeur of Venice’s Doge’s Palace, combined with the gothic grace of Cà d’Oro, with Sarasota Bay serving as its Grand Canal.

Sarasota, right ?
I think I've been by it. My IL's are near there. The bridge out to the island is newer-ish, pilings from the original are still visible in the water next to the new one. Said to be placed by their elephants when building over the winter back when. Really cool history if you're into that kinda stuff : ~ )
