(photograph - Tile work around 1 of the 16 Hand Carved fire places) Over two years ago, the Bergdoll Mansion was for sale - 14,000 square feet - $6.9 Million - 2201-05 Green Street. Let me tell you about Mr. Bergdoll. Beer heir Grover Cleveland Bergdoll was an early aviator and playboy who dodged the draft during World War I by hiding in the mansion—thats how big it is. His later exploits included biting the thumb off of a man who kidnapped him while he was on the run in Germany, which for some reason earned him the nickname the Fighting Slacker, even though this was way before the ’90s. The mansion has eight bedrooms, nine bathrooms, two cooks kitchens, carved mahogany woodwork, hand-painted ceilings, multiple fireplaces, a terrace, frescoes and mosaics.
