In Akron, Ohio there is a grand estate known as Stan Hywett, Old English for stone quarry. The Hall was finished in 1915 and was the home of F.A. Seiberling. Surrounding the Hall are numerous gardens, and one can easy spend an afternoon wandering around. One of my favorite ways to wander is down a stone staircase that leads to a door that opens up into English Garden. One Sunday afternoon last summer, I spent some time standing on the staircase sketching.
That sounds idyllic, a stone staircase and door into a garden!
