The grounds in winter
The master bedroom
Walls and turrets around property, I don't think these exist any longer. The woman in white may be Sarah Cordelia King, Alexander King's wife or Mildred Kelly King, Robert's wife and J.G. Kelly's daughter (we know that Robert was the one that added the castle-like features to Baywood)
The formal gardens
The solarium/orangery
The grounds in summer
Robert and Mildred again, I think I love this photo enough to post it on every post. Just look at Robert's pose, the moorish interior, the SNOWY OWL in the background . . . Through the doorway you can see the gold room, photos of it restored are in the previous post.
And just because every house needs its own postcards . . .
Solariums give me a chill. They seem bizarre and mysterious, but I can't not look.
ReplyDeleteSadly, the lack of maids and gardeners would quickly turn a space like that into something one raccoon short of my own personal Grey Gardens.
DeleteI bet the swastika disappeared rather quickly in the 30's.....
ReplyDeleteI'm sure it was. Sadly, shortly after Mildred and Robert passed away, most everything else went away too - that's one auction listing I would love to track down.
DeleteThis wwas lovely to read
