Architecture of Edwin Lundie Book

Mark gave me this book in anticipation of our trip this summer to see Hyde Park and Kykuit. I'm actually surprised at how much more enlightening this book is about John D. Rockfeller Sr.'s personality this book is than Titan by Ron Chernow. I'm looking forward to seeing the views, the art work and the gardens most of all. This house cost more to landscape than to build and rebuild - yikes. Three generations built and took care of this house. On the estate each of the children had a home as well as communal spaces, like the Playhouse. I would be quite interested to see these spaces, but didn't get a feel for what we'd be able to see/not see.
