The home of poet John Ashbery in Hudson NY.
http://vr.ashberyhouse.yale.edu
The house was built in 1895 for contractor, newspaper publisher and postmaster John F.X. Brennen (1852-1926), designed by architect Michael O’Connor. Sold since the tour was made in 2017, showing the appearance with Ashbery’s collections.
That’s a nice one. I haven’t seen that before. I laugh how the guy appears on the steps!
The INCREDIBLE Kreischer mansion in NYC: https://my.matterport.com/show/?m=YguKCXBJecH&brand=0&help=0&lp=1&play=1&ts=1&qs=1&nt=1
Nathan that’s incredible. I have always wanted to see the spiral lincrusta in the main hall in use. I’ve only ever seen that in the catalog. That house has an over abundance of stunning embossed wall coverings. Its in rough shape but the bones are there.
The incredibly luscious Fulford place, built in 1899-1901 in Ontario Canada: https://my.matterport.com/show/?m=QYihAapXLvm&brand=0&back=1

Clouds Hill Museum in Warwick RI. 1870s. I’ll be visiting this one soon. Not sure how I have lived in New England and not seen or heard of this one. Also you can also see that grass cloth floor covering we all discussed in Kelly’s post weeks back on the interior of the house.
