EXTRAORDINARY - Well Worth the 9 Hour (Plus) Drive to Duluth, MN, Just to See This!
Glensheen - The Historic Congdon Estate的点评
点评:Extraordinary turn-of-the-century Mansion in a pristine state of preservation, AND in a primo location right on the shore of Lake Superior. Because the Mansion is currently owned by the University of Minnesota, they have a seemly unlimited maintenance and restoration budget. From the spectacular interiors to the beautiful gardens, the property was meticulous cared for with plentiful staff at work (and available to assist) all inside and out. Our tour was a technologically innovative pre-recorded cellphone app which we were easily able to download onto our iphones. It allowed us to explore the Mansion floor-by-floor at our own pace - it took us several hours. Photography (no flash) inside was allowed, which was nice - as we took a lot of photos. We took the "Full Mansion Tour" for $30 per person allowing us to see all 5 floors - from basement to attic - AND those additional spaces were exceptionally interesting to see.
翻译:这座非凡的世纪之交豪宅保存完好,地理位置优越,就在苏必利尔湖畔。由于豪宅目前归明尼苏达大学所有,他们拥有似乎无限的维护和修复预算。从壮观的内部装饰到美丽的花园,这栋建筑都得到了精心的维护,内外都有大量的工作人员(随时准备提供帮助)。我们的导览是一个技术创新的预录手机应用程序,我们可以轻松地将其下载到iPhone上。它让我们可以按照自己的节奏逐层探索豪宅——我们花了几个小时。内部允许拍照(禁止使用闪光灯),这很不错——因为我们拍了很多照片。我们参加了“全宅之旅”,每人30美元,可以参观所有5层——从地下室到阁楼——而且那些额外的空间也非常有趣。
