Roundwood Manor in Hunting Valley Ohio has a fascinating history. It was built by the two Van Sweringen brothers, railroad barons who were so close that they slept in the same bedroom in this giant mansion. The home was later owned by Joe Hrudka of the Mr. Gasket auto-parts empire and has appeared in the pages of Architectural Digest. The home was built in 1924 and is one of Ohio's most famous properties. Roundwood Manor is over 17,000 square feet that includes ten bedrooms, a guest wing, a 60-foot indoor pool and nine fireplaces. It is listed at $7.9 million. After the jump, shiver me timbers that's a great great room.
