Stan
Hywet was the home of Franklin Seiberling who co-founded Goodyear Tire &
Rubber. The house is 64,500 square
feet. It seems sort of like the Great
Gatsby in conspicuous consumption and is from the same era. It’s cool to see but who really needs all of
this? The best thing you can say is they
must have kept a lot of people working as gardeners, groomsmen, butlers, cooks,
and maids.
I
loved all the chimneys on this house.
Twenty-three fireplaces!
A
touch of autumn.
Love
the copper detail but I was surprised at this large wasp nest!!!
My
favorite of the many gardens is the Japanese garden.
Years
ago I saw a Shakespeare play performed here.
Turns out Jen saw the same play given here just a few years ago.
Statue in the English
garden.
The
quarry. Stan Hywet is Old English for “stone quarry”. Lots to see here. We visited at a great time to see all the
flowers.
