The finished attic is a special room - hand-hewn timber beams, a propane stove, wide-plank floors, and enough character to be a private retreat. It earns its own visit. Outside, the grounds were designed by Olmsted Brothers, the firm of Frederick Law Olmstead.. A breathtaking Beech Allee planted in 1922 forms a natural cathedral of greenery, and a private reflecting pond anchors the landscape in stillness.
