Harbor Hill - Portrait of a House (Hardcover)
Expected to ship within 10 - 15 working days

The mansion along with its magnificent furnishings, art, gardens,
and the owners' striving, hubris, and ultimate failure are the
dramatis personae of this saga. Stanford White, the architect,
wrote, "with the exception of Biltmore, I do not think there will
be an estate equal to it in the country." An extravagant product of
the desire for social acceptance, the portrait encompasses western
mining and old versus new wealth, religious differences and the
building of a church, art collecting, and the many people, from the
architects, builders, and workers to the servants and staff who ran
the house and gardens. Harbor Hill's story includes elements of
farce and tragedy; in a sense it is an American portrait.
