[Music] here's the historic marker where the cut is on the house of John the Phoenician gothic palace on Sarasota Bay the palatial home of John and Mabel Ringling was completed in the mid 1920s where you buy your tickets there at the visitor center like a relief on the side of the tower above the front entrance onto the main entryway when God died he left the cottage on the 66 acres the Art Museum and all of the art in it to the people of a state employed until in 1936 when he died he gave this like to people in state government but nobody wanted it they wouldn't take it even though it was a beautiful home it was a beautiful art is a great value there and everything nobody wanted it because of the high civilization John Ringling the last several years of his life lived a very very frugal life he didn't want to lose anything here that he was giving to the people of the state of Florida and the memory and named of his wife Mabel all right already the detail we're heading into the East ballroom that includes several of Naval Ringling's most cherished possessions we look at this huge chair Wow as you can see grapes on the columns there's John Ringling it's the front entrance that has always kept closed unless they have like a special event look at some of these old looks to be like medieval era tapestries now would you like to come and go through that guest the cut is on entered through a gothic arched entrance with 12th of carved walnut doors that were treated to give an old-world appearance if you came through the front door this is the view that you saw the cut is on they are the second-story bedroom and if you woke up this would be your view in the morning Robert Webb juniors container you painted all the inside here and whatever let gain adapt to this first castle now John Riley Robert Webb has terrible relationships because Josh he was a circus guy tackling saludable Robert was a painter containers do their own pace okay so over the first time John Ringling fired three times and only to have Mabel rehire him a little bit of a raise because it isn't working for that line to decline we've done so rather web seven Daniel is blessed John comes over to it and I said Robert 20 you gonna be done robber wedding stands there and looks down cow bladders Malloy this is your lucky day job I am done Spain Russia takes know that walks out the door see every corner completely cold except the finishing part right here and so because until John was couldn't wait Robert had enough of it so I don't know where that was seconds okay I'm gonna fight and let me shut up the way get a load of this I know that they still play the health someone come in and they play this that's a fairly regular basis not really probably help this is what they did for entertainment back then this was like this was where they play cards the other Bay all the silverware was made by Tiffany & Company so the sink is original to the house and I've heard that this s figure actually be Logan with a company that makes this and people say where they sorta nice the guy talked but its appearance on power of today call annunciators so if you ever watch Downton Abbey similar to that and unless you do a viewer guess and come on in to the upper floors and you want to pin butter sandwiches very talk more you press a button every room the bells at the top that would sound alerting the

in salt water now where's the diving board on the end for that pedestal you imagine swimming and having that house as your backdrop look at that sundial Wow I have to say we visited a lot of these really palatial Gilded Age as states here in Florida but this one might just stop the cake nothing massive Jerry one of the guides here was telling us at the first banyan tree planted here on the property of the Ring Way was actively donated by Thomas Edison suppose right now that need to use extra caution around this area because of falling pinecones so there's like little statues and sculptures mixed in with the banyan trees but hidden and all of this madness of all of these bangin trees is this oddity this is a statue that was apparently placed here by the Ringling's decades and decades ago and the banyan tree has just taken it over look at that it's almost like the statue is calling out for help help me help me hope you like this video from the ring Ling if you did give me a
