The Von Helding Estate, built in 1923, was the winter home of the Baron and the Baroness Von Helding. It is still owned by the family.

Library - In the library is a tapestry with the Baron's Coat of Arms. Among the library's collections is a large book holding a copy of The London Times, circa 1856, proclaiming significant events of the year including the marriage of His Imperial Majesty Alexander II of Russia and his bride Maria. Also in this room is a gold, jeweled cigarette case given to the Baron by Michael Romanoff, owner of Romanoff's restaurant. Nearby is a silver smoking pipe decorated with horses given to the Baron by his wife on the day his horse won at Churchill Downs.

Dining Room - The base of the table is an exact replica of one in King Ludwig's Bavarian fairytale castle. The chairs are handcarved Venetian. A gold leafed, bronze chandelier discovered in the attic now adorns the area above the table in this room, which also has a secret panel.

Drawing Room - Gold and crystal abound. Note the many pictures of European royalty, which were presented to the family. There are also many pictures of the Baron’s family. A large painting of Cardinal Richelieu of France presides. The African mahogany glass topped table was created from wood used to crate items shipped from one of the Baron’s many safaris.

The home has been on the historical home tour and it’s not unusual for the people to end up remaining many hours past the closing of the tour to traverse this historical home.

Marble Room - As you enter this room you will notice bronze Nubian Warriors that flank the bed of Napolean III. They came from the entry of the Barons and Baroness’ castle in Austria. Behind the bar hang many pictures of the old and new Hollywood stars that frequented the home in the ‘30s,‘40s and today.

Center Room - The center room has a picture of Rudolph Valentino overlooking the floor that once graced his estate. On either side of the entry to the library are wall fountains that have at times brought forth not only water, but wine and champagne.
