Wadsworth also contains the pyramid house. "The largest 24-karat gold-plated object ever created" is the private home of Jim Onan, a wealthy Armenian garage builder, and his family.[12] The Onans occasionally open the house for tours of the 17,000-square-foot (1,600m2) 6-story structure containing a replica of King Tut's tomb. The walled property also features a triple-pyramid garage, a 64-foot-tall (20m) statue of Ramesses II, and a recreation of King Tutankhamun's tomb.[13] In 2018, the pyramid house was severely damaged by fire.[14]
