When we visited New York this summer, we paid a visit to the home of Franklin D. Roosevelt. It was of course quite lovely, but what I enjoyed most was the stables, which we were allowed to freely roam through on our own. I thought you might enjoy the tour, via the snaps I took with my phone.
Stables:
I was quite surprised that his ribbon collection and old family photos sit right there on the wall within hands reach.
The structure and building materials were so classic. I could have sat there and dreamed all day.
This is what I love about old buildings. The beauty in the details and attention to every last surface and fixture. I know I sound old-fashioned, but *sigh*, they just don't build them like they used to...
