Stan Hywet Hall & Gardens

Photographers Ian Adams and Barney Taxel take us on a pictorial tour of the estate and choose to organize their work by the seasons. This seasonal account continues to present the estate as more than a building but as a family home capturing the beauty of the fabulous landscape throughout the year. The colors and clarity of their work captures this marvelous old home at it's very best. We see the inside and outside in great detail,thus sharing the spendor of this great manor.

This book should be a required reading for all Ohio school children as part of required Ohio history studies. For those who enjoy history of the industrialists of the last century this is a delightful read. For those those who have an appreciation for architecture, interior design and landscaping, this book capture the essence of this home.

This book can prepare one for a visit to the estate, serve as a keepsake for those who have been there, or provide a tour to those who don't have a chance to visit our neighborhood.
