This is a picture of the mansion and it looks kind of normal and normal size to me.

The pictures show up better in the link at bottom. They are kind of blown up here. In the link, the outside of the home is not that iimpressive.
But the inside is quite impressive. The new owner must be a fan. He bought the three framed pieces of art of Diana ,Flo and Mary.
And at the end of the article is this picture. I cant tell if this is a row of houses that then were attached to create the mansion, or if this is the mansions with other homes nearby. The article does mention that there is a tunnel attaching the mansion to the poolhouse.

Bette Midler is leaving her starring role in Broadway's Hello Dolly next month. If history repeated itself and the producers replaced the entire cast with an all black cast-and- if they picked Diana to star as Dolly [[I have such an imagination but it happened once before when they replaced Carol Channing with Pearl Baily and an all black cast) But if they did the unimaginable, Diana could have come to this mansion and practiced walking down the red stairway as they sang Hello Dolly to her.
[[Wow, I got off topic in my own post ;)) Anyhow, they already picked Bernadette Peters to replace Bette Midler so that dream is gone.
