Now Abram Poole is a name one doesn't hear of very often anymore, unless it is in a footnote, ie his brief marital experiment with Mercedes de Acosta. Though I continue to hear, periodically, that AP was probably the love of David Adler's life. Could be just rumour though.
I know the house well. It is kept in fabulous condition by its current owners, but sadly the dining room murals are long gone.
Another glowing example of the almost peerless talent H.T. Lindeberg had with making absolutely magnificent manor homes. Stately yet overflowing with charm.
It is such a shame that in 2009 we lack this quality of architect as well as the skilled builders who knew how to take leaded glass, slate, flagstone, wood, ivy et al and make something so wonderful.
