After visiting friends, each time, are amazing, ladies can not help to say, if this life would live in this castle, really die rest in peace out. I always jokingly said: “Are you sure? Such a luxury, is given to you, you can not afford ah!” This is Sir Henry himself never thought of. Because from the First World War, the City of Toronto to Rome, Casa increased property tax, from 600 Canadian dollars a year, increased to 1,000 Canadian dollars per month (which is a huge sum of money at the time), and Sir Henry had to auction art furniture to pay taxes. Finally, because the Canadian dollar can not afford the 27,303 property tax, he and his wife had been forced to leave Casa Rome.
Poor Henry can only be moved into a small apartment, open the windows to see is Casa solemn towers of Rome, the only valuable thing around is a big diamond ring on his finger. Sir Henry could not pay taxes “abandon the city,” away, the castle was eventually resumed by the City of Toronto is now open as a museum.
Such stories abound in the United States, such as railroad magnate Vanderbilt’s “Kikunami Villa” (Breakers), in the solid granite wall, a total of 70 houses, as his successor could not pay property tax to only “promotions” to the U.S. government. So the lesson found everywhere, some rich people will do in his lifetime for the funeral plans.
