New York Times: For the past seven years, almost as long as President Bush has been in Washington, an Iranian-American home developer has lived in a scaled-down version of the presidential mansion in suburban Atlanta. But soon enough, change is coming to Fred Milani's replica of the White House, an outsized casualty of the national housing crisis. Mr. Milani sitting on a replica of George W. Bush's desk in his Oval Office beneath the Iranian and American flags. Last month, Mr. Milani placed his White House, located in the North Druid Hills neighborhood, a few miles northeast of downtown, on sale for $9.88 million>>> MORE PHOTOS

Thank you!
by neighbor (not verified) on Tue Jun 30, 2009 07:15 AM PDTThis is a note of appreciation for Mr. Milani from neighbors who have nothing to do with Iran.
Mr. Milani, we would like to thank you for the beautiful Oak grove/Briarcliff neighborhood which, in our opinion, is purely your creation. During the years, you have been rebuilding the area, putting up many distinctive houses of excellent quality. Your creativity has slowly changed the face of the trivial, suburban neighborhood, turning it into special, upscale place to live. And we enjoy living in it!
I hope that you and your family will remain in the neighborhood and in your house! God bless Mr. Milani!
Thank you!

He is warmhearted and sympathetic. Whatever his believes are, he is nice and I met also his daughter, She is very simple and kind. I'm sure God will be with them.
Idiot of The Day!
by eroonman on Thu Feb 12, 2009 02:02 PM PSTAt some point in time, we are all going to have to take a hard look at ourselves, and censor these idiots who insist on taking it upon themselves to "vot ees dees?" their way around, embarrassing us all with their half baked, hare-brained schemes, and what they "think" looks cool.

In conclusion, I hope that this house does not sell, and that in fact you are forced to tear it down. However, since you are on a hell bent path to idiocy, and to be a continued embarrassment to us all, I am sure you have by now investigated your foreclosure and abandonment options. When that happens (not if) try and keep your mouth shut and please have the sense to stay away from the press.
Mr. Milani is a bizzare self-promoter
by farrad02 on Mon Jan 12, 2009 01:00 PM PSTLooking at these few pictures it is quite evident that this fellow is a bizzare self-promoter!
I toured the White House as a kid
by Kaveh Nouraee on Mon Jan 12, 2009 12:25 PM PSTI don't recall a Persian rug in the Lincoln Bedroom, though :-)
A convert to Christianity, Milani and his wife opened the house for holiday tours at $15 a head. He gave part of the proceeds to The International Church of God.

کدیور، باز تو زدی به قاجار؟ مگر طرف بیکاره که مدل کاخ گلستان را بسازه که چی؟ اون کاخ گلستان 90% از آرشیتکت فرانسه پیروی میکنه و بجز از چند تا کاشی و آینه کاری بوئی از طراحی ایرانی نبرده.
اگر طرح ایرانی میخواهی باید به قلعه ها فکر کنی و یا معابد ایرانی....
Iranian ingenuity and patriotism! God bless him! Wonderful work!
