I've just discovered your videos on You Tube and I've been gorging on them. I can't thank you enough for making all this information available. They are painful to look at though - it's hard to accept that all the beauty, love and labor could not last more than a handful of years. I just cannot wrap my brain around the destruction of such magnificent structures. Great choices in music too. I hope you have many more projects lined up. I'll keep looking for them. Thank you again.
"Wingwood" was a peculiar house, originally it was a smaller Craftsman style cottage but the Stotesburys enlarged it and transformed it into a Federal style mansion. Not all of the re-design was successful: the door in the center of the portico is fake - the circular staircase is on the other side of the wall.
Beautiful home and I love the steps right down into the water.

Did the American Dream die in 1913 with the Federal Income Tax and the Federal Reserve in the same year?
Good video. Good information. Nice to know what happened to the home and what's there today. Thank you.
