I need a time lapse sequence of the sun going down over an epic mansion--the piece is set in 1902 so it should obviously be a mansion from previous era . Something like these (https://www.google.com/search?q=newport+rhode+island+mansion&rlz=1C1CHFA_enUS484US485&sugexp=chrome,mod%3D11&um=1&ie=UTF-8&hl=en&tbm=isch&source=og&sa=N&tab=wi&ei=KmZwUJOOJoLOiwLdwICIBg&biw=1214&bih=668&sei=NWZwUJqZKqLqiwKB2YHACg) would be perfect.

Would this old place be adequate? We are in transition out of late spring into summer. There is urban infill around the building though.
Episode 4: Invercloy - Houses - Who’s been Sleeping in My House? - ABC TV (http://www.abc.net.au/tv/whosbeensleeping/houses/invercloy.htm)
It appears the documentary is available for online viewing in the US at this web address.

It is blocked here.
The camera which shot the still image on the website faces north-east.

I just found the "these" word was a link. So Invercloy would fall considerably short of what you are looking for.

Thanks Bob, I made that link more apparent.
You are right, Invercloy isn't quite right but I appreciate the thought.
We shot the interiors at the Paramour (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canfield-Moreno_Estate) in Los Angeles, which is a fantastic and rather creepy old estate. Some great ghost stories have gone around about that spot. I do know that I was one of the last ones out our final night, and without the hustle and bustle of the crew around I was looking over my shoulder the whole time!!
Unfortunately the exterior of the building is in a Spanish-influenced style and we need something more Downton Abbey-esque, hence our not being able to shoot the exteriors there.

The Biltmore House in Asheville NC faces the right way for great sunsets.

It may be too recognizable though.
