They all seem to fancy either porches or
balconies, on
every story.....and sometimes every side, or
curve.
And the gardens.....the scents are delicious,
especially
when the jasmine and the magnolias are in
bloom.....
These beauties have "style and southern
charm" and most
still have... and use... their ballrooms!
The moldings, doors, carved wood banisters and marble mantles, floors and fireplaces were all done by "artists" and
artisans from all over Europe, you
can get
wonderful glimpses going by at night...
And they've been kept up or restored so
beautifully...
past presidents, royalty, all who have slept, visited, and partied here, could come back in time and still
recognize it and feel familiar here.
This last one is now open for tours and for
weddings, it's a lovely home, "The Elms
Mansion" if you'd like to see
more of it, or learn it's history, please
click on the
picture.
Even those that seem small from the front, go
way, way
back, deep into the property.....
