| Summary: |
"Baltimore's Homewood - a wedding gift from Charles Carroll, a signer of the Declaration of Independence, to his son Charles, Jr. and his bride, Harriet Chew Carroll - stood on 130 acres of rolling meadow and forest and offered a picturesque view of the distant harbor." "In a lavishly illustrated, yet scholarly, study of this exquisite American residence, Catherine Rogers Arthur and Cindy Kelly explore Homewood's history, detailing its construction, reliving the Carroll family's experiences there, and recounting the expert restoration that preserves this landmark for generations to come. The book includes more than one hundred full-color photographs of the house's graceful exterior, its elegant rooms and furnishings, and the many architectural details that have made Homewood so beloved."--Jacket. |
