How incredibly thoughtful these people were! Can you imagine not wanting to disturb the servents?? Good for them. I wonder what happened to the family? Did they die out? It's a splendid house -- thanks for all the work you did pulling the pictures together!!Deana Sidneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14908407077861396161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28651976363618994.post-37746100566248428972015-08-21T16:18:40.646-04:002015-08-21T16:18:40.646-04:00Stefan,

At first I scanned the photos and said dark and deary and then went through each photo admiring all the beautiful details. What an amazing pool and of course I loved the rooms that probably where never enjoyed by the family. Love the butlers's pantry.<br />Thank you for combing through all your Summer photos and putting together this enjoyable post.<br />xo,<br />VeraRow homes and Cobblestoneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01643916045622529275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28651976363618994.post-74140859661446468262015-08-20T11:03:28.262-04:002015-08-20T11:03:28.262-04:00Ah! the bright lights and glaring interiors, so ri...Ah! the bright lights and glaring interiors, so right, to top it all, lack of detail and character.

But it surprises me that the functional rooms, where the family would not have visited very often, were a rel pleasure, especially the kitchen and the butler's pantry. I am delighted that the staff could work in very pleasant conditions.Helshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02849907428208235392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28651976363618994.post-20429003007145731222015-08-19T14:52:29.967-04:002015-08-19T14:52:29.967-04:00As I mentioned in an earlier comment, I saw Stan H...As I mentioned in an earlier comment, I saw Stan Hywet several decades ago, and looking at your great photos, I'm thinking that much more of the house is now open to the public.
