Supplements

Gracefully sited on pastoral grounds with distant mountain views, this circa-1930 Colonial Revival estate represents the elegance and cultural legacy of the Berkshires' celebrated country-house era. Attributed to prominent Pittsfield architect Joseph McArthur Vance, the residence was conceived as a refined summer retreat for a prosperous owner from a prominent Boston family who made the Berkshires their seasonal sanctuary in the early twentieth century. During the height of the Tanglewood years, the home was part of the region's vibrant artistic and social life, welcoming members of the Boston Symphony Orchestra and distinguished conductors Pierre Monteux and Charles Munch. The residence was also said to have hosted renowned Americana collector Henry Francis du Pont, who admired the home's collection of early American decorative arts. Blending architectural pedigree, cultural heritage, and the quiet beauty of its rural setting just minutes from Lenox, the estate stands today as a rare surviving example of the gracious Berkshire summer tradition--where music, art, and landscape converged in an atmosphere of timeless sophistication.
