Thought I would share my pictures from Stan Hywet

Yesterday I went to a huge car show at the Stan Hywet Hall and Gardens. To those who dont't know Stan Hywet Hall and gardens was the mansion built by F.A. Siberling and his wife founder of Goodyear Tire in Akron, Ohio.
It was built between 1912 and 1915 it took 3years
to build at a cost around $150,00. It has been
seen many times on America's Castles.
The 65 room manor house was short-lived with the
decline in the 1920s, and by the 1960s many of the wealthiest lost to the wrecking ball. In 1957 it was donated to a non-profit organization so that the public could enjoy a noteworthy chapter in American history.

You were not allowed to take pictures inside although I snuck one just because.
The butterfly conservatory was really nice.

These are stunning!

Thank you so much for sharing them today!

And I just LOVE the butterfly pic......thanks for sneaking it even though you had to break the rules to get it!

Some rules just beg to be broken!

Just beautiful.......:bounce: :bounce:
