He was also related to a signer of the Declaration of Independence. In 1953 the estate became the

I'm not entirely certain about those Hôtel Ritz-type awnings.
AAL, that's just caddy.
My only objection to the awnings is that the arched openings of the end pavilions would have looked better with separate round-head awnings instead of the one huge shed-like awning. But awnings are relatively temporary and usually add a nice humanizing touch to formal houses.
