I was wondering who was building that house. Nice to know. On an info page about him it said he has 6 kids and 18 grandchildren and lives in EA. You think with all the $ he has, the house wouldn’t have taken so long to build. ---

Ughhh, I walk by that house all of the time, it is amazing. Built with the quality of the 100 year old houses around it, but with 2008 amenities. They did not spare any expenses. Drooool. ---

> [@camarojoe](#): > > So where in EA do they live? its on north davis road in east aurora. Its an estate - its called deer ridge farms. You cant see the house from the road, its a 1/4 mile down a driveway that has a gate at the front, if you continue down n.davis a bit futhur, you’ll see the service entrance where the horse track, stable, stadium, monster greenhouse, foremans house are located. I believe one of the first dunlop honchos built it for his family long time ago. Ive been in it before doing maintenance work years ago. Its a monster, over 30,000 sq. ft. Everything inside is immaculate. 5 or 6 car garage with what i saw was 2 identical MB S-class sedans, X5, and a MB branded golf cart. The frekin guest house is a 2500 sq. ft. ranch. From what I know - he also has residences in boston and an Orange Grove estate in florida. Damn him and his $4 hot dogs! ---
