What a fascinating house and gardens! I wonder how its neighbors regarded it when it was built.

Perhaps I should have said "owners of other large estates in the area," not, of course, literal neighbors!

I think the ruling class would have admired this monument to empire, source of wealth and employment for younger sons. And then there's the tradition of eccentricity among those of their class so I suspect no one thought much about it.
