Summary

This account of the house now adapted to an inn tells of a rare triple treat: architecture of the era of boundless dreams -- the so-called Gilded Age; landscape from the visionary mind of America's father of landscape architecture, Frederick Law Olmsted; and a vicarious sense of lifestyle as manifested by a distinctive, wealthy American family, the W. Seward Webbs.
