historical papers

4/10/2011

We are saving bits of wallpaper from each of the rooms and will create a display chronicling historical decoration.

Here, above the marble fireplace in the living room, is penciled "Painted and repapered July 1972- J.K. Rudd & Alec Kloman." Imagine wallpapering in the heat of mid-summer, without air conditioning. The seller's father was stalwart indeed.

who we are

We are a couple of Upper West Siders from NYC who never set out to buy an old mansion in Connecticut. But the moment we walked through its massive front door, we were smitten. The info on this site is earnestly cobbled from a variety of sources, including the web. Please let us know if we've gotten something wrong, or if there's a story about Holleywood you'd like to share.
