Place On Hwy. 6 With White Horses

Ok, some of you Alvin or Hitchcock folks can tell me the story about the castle house with the white horses up front.
Who built it and what happened after that?
It had to be some mid-Eastern dude or a small time drug lord with Las Vegas tastes.

Pignataro Estate. Everyone around here has been telling stories about it my whole life. Everything from murders to mob stuff. Not near that exciting though.

I'm more curious to see the "Dragon's Den" that I hear so much about. Not named for the guy's love of mythical creatures either. Supposed to have some big dragon hedge sculpture or something. Hey, I'm not Vietnamese and it's not the 70's. I'll be OK.

Thats on 646 in Santa Fe. Nothing spectacular about that place.. Just a stone dragon out front and the rumor that it's the home of a clan master. No big surprise coming from Santa Fe. Probably not true - at least anymore anyway.

I bet they own/ed that Italian place on Nasa 1. It looks like the same decorator did both, same cheezy sculptures.
