    The woodworking! The endless rooms of antique furnishings! Absolutely stunning!

    Such a shame that not only the house was lost but also all of the artwork and furnishings.

    I LOVE this one. Especially the exterior. But those chairs, I literally burst out laughing at one point!

    I'm thinking that their games of Musical Chairs went on for weeks!! 😊 I would say that wisdom wasn't his strong suit ...!!

    My first art-history teacher in prep school told us that we studied art-history so that, after we made a pile, we wouldn't buy or build a Tudor house in the suburbs. I kind of liked this one though despite the antique mall going on in all the public rooms.

    I hope a lot of the chairs and other antiques had been sold off before the boiler explosion! I can't imagine Louis XV furniture burning up! That would be heartbreaking !

    I`ve been in antique shops that had less clutter. I liked the outside but the inside was kind of a disappointment. A shame about the loss of all the art and antiques.

    Judging by the photographs, those coffered ceilings seemed rather low. It wasn't quite as grand as I was expecting, though that could be down to the quality of the photographs.
    Ken, did you mention as to how acres the estate was?

    • @ThisHouse
      @ThisHouse  2 месяца назад +4

      I couldn’t find an exact number, but I would estimate about 10 acres based on the size of the 3 estates that were built in its place.

      Interesting in that I too wondered about the " low " ceilings . Perhaps due to photo angles ? 🤔

      That is correct! It is all the land along what is now Longwood Crossing where it dead ends (3 modern day estates) just past Meadow Way.

    I would love to know how many fakes there were in the house. If he was as good at wasting money as Ken says, Talbot's expertise was probably a little vague.
