We took a trip to The Chimneys last week-end with Jane. It was an old estate built during prohibition, by a family of liquor makers. It was cool, and the basement fixtures were still there and great. The rest of the interior has been taken over by a Jewish children's school and Synagog. Which sucks for the interior, but did save the building.
The pool and bar areas.
The painted works still in the renovated bathroom / closet.
Painted on the opposite side of glass in the tub area. |
A Wedgwood, yes Wedgwood China border that went all the way around her bathroom (which was huge) |
Close up of carved dragon |
The outside of the house.
The original house to the left, "Children'sWing" on the right. |
