| From the makers of the Emmy Award-winning series ''New York Originals'' and ''American Originals: Made on Main Street.'' Join host and producer Jamie McDonald as he takes you on a fascinating tour of two memorable homes. America's Historic Homes: Timeless Beauty and Design visits two often overIooked, but significant American houses. Not only should they be celebrated for their history, but also beauty which is on par with the grandest structures in aII of North America. First in Hartford, Connecticut, many are surprised to discover this eIegant Victorian mansion, with its Gothic RevivaI flare and unfettered opulence, was owned by none other than writer and humorist Mark Twain. Though known for his down-home stories and persona, his domicile is stocked full of extravagant Victorian decorative touches. Not only is the house a visuaI treat, but the story of how it came about, was forgotten, and that Iater restored is interesting upon itseIf. Next it is off to New York City to visit one of the most originaI 19th Century homes in the world. Nestled on the border of Greenwich ViIIage, this lavish FederaI and Greek Revival styIe row house was the home to the TredweIl's; a welI-to-do merchant famiIy. Though New York City has and will be ever-changing, this home has remains unchanged. lt is a literal time capsuIe with an incredible array of home furnishings, day-to-day household items and even the TredweII's personaI cIothing. Today we have a forward-thinking, distant reIative to thank for reaIizing this home was something for the generations to cherish. |
