'Wheatly'
'Wheatly', the E.D. Morgan III estate designed by McKim, Mead & White between 1890-1900 in Old Westbury. Click HERE for all previous posts on 'Wheatly'.
DED, I had to look up "carcassone" -- because you didn't want to just spoon feed us. & yes, I see the resemblance; from a distance 'Wheatly' must have looked like a small village.
But everyone look up "Carcassonne" (two 'n's)& ignore the definition of a tile-based German-style board game ... something else I learned today.
