This is one of the State Rooms, not usually open to the public. When the house was constructed, this room was built specifically so that if Mary & William ever came to visit, they would have a throne room available. It would have been the seat of power whenever they were there. The room never had its moment of greatness.I wish these indoor photos weren't blurry. I was trying to be good & not use a flash.
Once upon a time I thought I'd never see a library to covet more than one at Princeton. I was wrong.
Alright, movie lovers, recognize this?
I love the countryside. Sarah noted that I spent the most time standing at the windows instead of gawking at the lavish interiors.
Sarah & I were both in awe of this indoor vineyard. The grapes hang from vines planted in the 1920s. Just amazing.

WOW.
I'm with you--I'd be mostly staring out the windows!
Hmmm...that room you showed. I have no idea if this is the right movie, but it very much reminded me of the stark white, museum-like room at the end of 2001: a Space Odyssey.

Thanks for the pictures, Starr! Very, very impressive!
beautiful--what movie? It did seem familiar.
I' going to take a wild guess and say Dead Poet's ociety or The Greatest Game Ever Played.
