Free to tour Sacramento’s grandest historic home that is open to the public
Leland Stanford Mansion State Historic Park的点评
点评:Enjoyable tour of probably the grandest historic home in the Sacramento area that is open to the public. The tour guide informed us that about 75% of the furnishings in the house are original (although it wasn’t entirely clear which were original and which are modern). The public spaces on the second and first floor are very grand and impressive in the late nineteenth century style. It doesn’t seem as though any of the art or furnishings were made by important artists or furniture makers, but it is still a lovely place to tour. It’s free too.
The Stanfords only lived in the finished and enlarged home for 2 years before decamping for San Francisco. As such, it’s a fitting tribute to Sacramento’s brief time as one of California great cities.
翻译:参观可能是萨克拉门托地区最宏伟、向公众开放的历史古宅,真是一次愉快的体验。导游告诉我们,屋内约75%的家具均为原件(尽管我们无法完全确定哪些是原件,哪些是现代的)。二楼和一楼的公共空间气势恢宏,具有十九世纪晚期的风格,令人印象深刻。虽然这些艺术品或家具似乎并非出自重要的艺术家或家具制造商之手,但这仍然是一个值得参观的好地方。而且免费。
斯坦福夫妇在迁往旧金山之前,只在这座已完工扩建的古宅里住了两年。因此,这恰如其分地致敬了萨克拉门托作为加州伟大城市之一的短暂历史。
