You can't take photographs of the inside, unfortunately. The rooms and fabrics, walls, ceilings, fireplaces,
furnishings are stunning. There is original art by Pierre-Auguste Renoir and John Singer Sargent, 16th century tapestries, a library with 10,000 volumes, a banquet hall with a 70-foot ceiling, 65 fireplaces, an indoor pool and a bowling alley, and formal and informal gardens designed by Frederick Law Olmsted. Even in the winter they are beautiful. The blooms all come from the Conservatory, managed by the family's gardener to supply the household with cut flower arrangements for all of the 250 rooms in the main house. Imagine that!
