Spelling himself, though a self-effacing and extremely shy man in private, put his own vast wealth on display in the late 1980s when he and his wife, Candy, supervised the construction of their home in the Holmby Hills section of Los Angeles. Spelling died in the mansion on June 23, 2006, from complications of a stroke, at age 83. However, by the time the house neared completion Tori was aged 17, negating the need for it. Originally there was a zoo planned for daughter Tori. Not understanding blueprints, Candy advised in 2011 she would not have built the house as big had she realised the scale in person. During planning stages, Aaron removed an entire planned additional wing as a cost-saving measure. The Manor is as big as a football field, and bigger then The White House, and has 2 driveways. The staircase is a single piece of metal, made in Texas. The grand staircase in the entrance hall was inspired by Twelve Oaks in Gone with the Wind. Candy and interior designer Robert Dally spent 8 years buying furnishing from England, Italy, and France, including all of house's fireplaces, chanderliers, and sconces. The name The Manor was chosen by daughter Tori. The Spellings purchased the former Bing Crosby Estate in 1983, razing the mansion that previously occupied the site, which was built in 1932 by Gordon Kaufmann and later owned by Bing Crosby.Ĭonstruction began in 1986, with over 150 workers a day, using over 500 tons of steel, and was completed in 1991. A long winding driveway leads to a circular granite motor court, fountain and space for 100 cars there are also 16 carports. When first built, it included a screening room, a gym, a room for Candy's doll collection, a basement bowling alley, a gift-wrapping and flower-cutting rooms, a barbershop, a humidity-controlled storage room, four two-car garages, a tennis court, and a pool. Candy Spelling and her interior designer traveled to Europe to buy fixtures and art for the home.
