Here in the deep south of the United states, here in North Florida, in the 1800s there were, and still are, many old large versions of "Southern versions of Roman villas", the Plantation house.  Often on 200 to 600 acres of land and many many slaves or hired servants took care of everything, in the house, on the farm.
Now this house is engulfed by the city of 300,000, the high school is behind the trees, the house is the Office of the city parks department.  many rooms are filled with period furniture, to see, and weddings and events are often held here.
