Enjoyable book

This is an incredibly beautiful guide to some of our historic treasures that are open to the public. I am just beginning my career in real estate, and made this purchase because I am very interested in historical homes. I can see this being a valuable reference tool. So it is great for anyone interested in the architecture of these mansions. I also purchased it because I do love visiting historic homes when on vacation. This is the perfect tool for anyone who is looking for a chance to get inside these grand ladies. Anyone who enjoys the grand opulence and architecture of a bygone era will most defiantly want to add this to their book collection.

Beautiful book

This beautifully designed book brings these mansions to life! I learned more about the homes and their owners than I did on the tours in the mansions themselves! It is a must have before or after you visit the homes!

Hearths of the Rich,Famous,and Infamous

This is one great book! Without leaving your chair you are transported across time and distance into the homes of the rich and/or famous. Not only does this book go into the history and architecture of each mansion,it is also loaded with anecdotal info that takes you into the minds and hearts of the builders and residents of these architectural treasures. It loaded with lots of beautiful pictures that really enchance the stories. I leave this book on my coffeetable and it always provokes interesting converation. I highly recommend this book.
