@mixrousefamily687 The interiors of the original house must have looked very dated when she purchased it. The rooms somewhat gloomy and lacking in any grand spaces for large-scale entertaining.
@ThisHouse - I loved the entire building - both inside _and_ outside! Interior wise I loved the grand staircase but also the room with the Tiffany murals. I'm so happy this gorgeous building still stands!
I just love that it is still standing. I’m sure on approach to the estate when first casting your eyes upon the house, the hair on your arms will rise. I hope to one day see this one with my own two eyes.
I'm surprised that there aren't more of your audience bemoaning the destruction of the original house. The new one is lavish without being grandiose. The beautiful entry is welcoming, not designed to leave the guests awestruck. Of course, we're all happy that it is still standing. Hopefully, the plan to turn it into a museum is successful. 😊
I missed it. I visited 5 main cottages and run out of time. It took me all day. There are many of them. I guess the best solution is to cover whole town on foot just not to miss anything. It was beautiful. I wonder how museum takes care of interiors.
Ever since I saw a brief shot of it in the opening credits of “Little Gloria…Happy at Last,” I’ve wondered what this house is. The picture looks like they were marshaling the hounds for a hunt. Thank you, Ken!
A blessing such a beautiful home survived.
Agreed, but my jaw dropped when Ken said the previous mansion on that site was demolished😢

Every room was beautiful. The staircase was very beautiful.
You are so knowledgeable in architecture that it blows my mind. In college I took several courses and enjoyed every one.
Excellent design, beautifully
realized!! ❤
Absolutely GORGEOUS!

So fascinated by these historic homes!
Gorgeous!!
Beautiful in every way. The scale was just right. Not too little. Not too much.
One of the hallmarks of Carrère & Hastings.
My thoughts EXACTLY, the mansion is just right 👌

The entrance is perfect.
One of the most beautiful houses you’ve shown us. Wow

My favorite house still in private hands.
Thank you so much for this fascinating history.

The Tiffaney commission paintings in the sunroom's alone could be worth what? I can't imagine...
👍
I actually liked 'the cottage' that was torn down, better. : (
I like the original house better .
That is NO cottage
and it's worth more than $11M in 2024
Cottage?😂
The 'Cottage ' she had demolished was nicer.
This is not a cottage...
Ugh......too many chimneys !! 🙄
