A House That Made History

Om A House That Made History

"This visually stunning volume not only celebrates the updating of the Italianate-Greek Revival Illinois Governor's Mansion in Springfield but also tells the story of the house's evolution since 1855, of the lives and times of the renowned personages who inhabited it, and of the illustrious visitors, including Abraham Lincoln and FDR. The rooms have been enhanced with sophisticated color palettes, gorgeous fabrics, wallpapers, and bespoke furniture. In celebration of Illinois, one hallway is covered in a striking corn-motif pattern; the Governor's Dining Room is embellished with a charming folk-style mural; and the chic Chicago Room was created, featuring Frances Elkins's canopied beds and a Samuel Marx secretary cabinet. This book is ideal for those who love architecture, antiques, and learning about the lives of prominent Americans."--
