You are missing your calling. This is absolutely gorgeous. What a tremendous amount of work you put in, and what a treasure this is. Who runs Lynnewood Hall? You should send them this blog.
I read the article about Edward Townsend Stutesbury and Whitemarsh Hall. It is a dissapointing world when a piece of art, like Whitemarsh, is demolished. However, because Mr. Stutesbury did not care to make the necessary provisions required for the future upkeep of the mansion , maybe he is trying to teach the new generation of wealth a lesson. Though the grand Gilded Age will never be relived, all is not lost if today's wealthy benefactors see the grace, beauty, and history in things of the past,like Lynnewood Hall
