ReplyDelete$12 million???!!! I was in that house years ago. My father painted it for him. Nothing too spectacular. Even the bed was round!!
ReplyDeleteMy father helped to build that incredible house.
ReplyDeleteJackie Gleason and my father became friends during that time.My father was also a musician and had a jazz trio for 20 years. Mr Gleason believed in UFO's and that is why the house is made to look like a spaceship.There was an observatory on the top floor. My father said he was a lovely and intelligent man
