Beneath the lake of a once lavish Victorian estate, lies this curious “underwater ballroom,” built by mining magnate, Whitaker Wright. On the apex of the dome stands a Neptune statue. The purpose of this statue was to expel cigar smoke from inside the ballroom. The main estate was a 32 room mansion, but the ballroom was used to entertain guests.
