Celebrating the wonderful thing about Vermont’s Shelburne Farms, a National Historic Landmark at the shores of Lake Champlain.
 
This book tells the tale of Shelburne Farms, once a magnificent Gilded Age country estate conceived by The us’s leading aristocrats of the day, Lila Vanderbilt and William Seward Webb. Built between 1886 and 1905, the houses and barns, designed by architect Robert H. Robertson, include Shelburne House, the Webbs’ stunning Shingle- and Queen Anne-style place of dwelling with a formal Italianate flower garden, and the Breeding Barn, which used to be the largest open-span wooden structure in The us. Landscape designer Frederick Law Olmsted planned the 4,000 acres of pastureland, woodlands, and trails.
 
Period photographs capture the Webbs’ original vision, whilst new photography showcases the sumptuous results of decades-long restoration. The valuables is now open to the general public. Shelburne House, transformed into an inn, showcases many original paintings, furnishings, and decorative arts.
