Edith Wharton's house, The Mount, Lenox, Mass

These are the woods of the Berkshires.  To me, they look blue.






This is the entry hall to the house which is famous for its decoration.  Edith Wharton was considered the arbiter of good taste during this period which was before WWI.  After ten years, she divorced her husband and moved to Paris.  She sold the house and lived the rest of her life in France.







The house and gardens are famous in landscape architecture circles.  Finally, I got to Lenox, Mass!






This is her study where she wrote her books during the 10 years she lived here.






This is the linden allee.










She brought this trellis with her from her previous house in Newport.
