Great tour docents! Caren Pauley is fabulously knowledgeable about the antiques and furnishings. Great space to celebrate!

Highly recommend this museum as a venue for a special occasion. The docent mentioned that the Andersons intended it to be a place for "celebration." And so it is.

Built 1902-05 and was one of the largest and costliest private homes in the city. Built for diplomat Larz Anderson and his wife Isabel. Designated a National Historic Landmark in 1996.
