Will be able to step foot inside it.. let alone us veterans or regular people? Oh, no... that ballroom will only be for the hoity today of society. And I'll lay odds he charges for admission.. and keeps the admission fee for himself.

He was kept out of the rich society functions in NY and it drove him mad. They wanted nothing to do with the brash, arrogant rich bastard. Building this and keeping them out is his sadistic wet dream.
