A blog on architecture, life, and that avant la lettre...

Wednesday, July 6, 2011


I mentioned earlier that I got the opportunity to go to the Perry Belmont Mansion that serves as the national headquarters for the Order of the Eastern Star. I wanted to pass along some photos I stole from my friend Katy's blog. The grand spaces such as the dining room and foyer can be seen below. You can also see a fellow intern and I checking out the racket ball court that happens to be in the basement. Finally the kitchen, which is a great example of fully preservedturn of the twentieth century. (Minus the refrigerator in the center haha.)It is an amazingplace that again I wish was better preserved and more easily accessible to the general public..
Main Stair^
The kitchen with great appliances and systems from the late nineteenth century complete with refrigerator circa 1989^
Formal entrance of the house complete with glass pigeon(white) donated by the worshipful grand matron 1994^


Checking it out^
The underground racket ball court. Where Perry Belmont once played the Prince of whales. ^
