Very rare to see such construction photos, very nice!
You couldn't pay me enough to be a roofer on this job!
Great photograph but too bad there's no one at the worksite. I always like seeing the mule teams & foremen in suits & ties -- a reminder of how much was done with what we would consider today to be so little.
Every time I see a photograph of this house my first thought is of a man in a stovepipe hat.
It's a nice treat to see construction photos....too bad many of the other estates didn't record the building of their homes.
Anon 7:36 PM -- I suspect many other estate owners did record the construction of their homes; the questions are: where are those photographs now & does whoever holds them even know what they're of?
