Introducing 'Minute Mansion,' our latest series to take the place of one of our weekly shorts! In these quick, one-minute episodes, we'll showcase unique mansions that, while fascinating, don't quite fill a full-length video. We're excited to bring you these bite-sized glimpses into intriguing estates and their stories. Don't worry, our regular, longer episodes will still be released every Sunday, Tuesday, and Friday. Stay tuned for these quick bits of history and architecture, and make sure to let us know what you think!

Dive into the untold story of James A. Patten, the Wheat King, whose luxurious mansion was torn down after he tried to control the world's wheat supply! Discover the scandalous life of ambition and controversy that rocked the early 1900s. Did his market manipulation lead to his mansion's demise?
