Terrific photograph---but even evocative as it is, it also points up the essential soullessness of the place
OGD - Thanks for the photo!
DED - You always seem to put your finger right on it! Harbor Hill is so wonderful in so many ways, but damn, it IS soulless.
here is a great site which has many links
regarding the Mackay estate and the famous 2
statues of the horses and the pics of the bronze
fountain now in kansas.

Is it my imagination or does the house appear boarded up?
Maybe for the winter.
I think you're mistaking the fake windows of the stair tower as boards. It's not uncommon for staircases, fireplaces and other obstructions.
