The picture is of the guest house in the sunken gardens.<br /><br />My aunt, uncle and cousin lived in that guest house for several years after Bernheimer's death; during that time our grandmother was trying to save the property. It was a family affair, we lived in the servant's quarters over the gift shops. Unfortunately, the rehabilitation efforts failed.<br /> <br />That pond had landscaped islands with miniature bronze replicas of oriental temples. In the declining years my cousin and I swam in it, hiding in the overgrown shrubs when guests came through.<br /><br />It was indeed a lovely sanctuary, with a powerful emotional impact for me. I'm researching to write a book on what Adolph L. Bernheimer built. It's a good story.<br /><br />Mary LouiseMary Louisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06225473138048597932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4732609668331686820.post-20566305262945522152011-10-21T08:28:57.845-07:002011-10-21T08:28:57.845-07:00Cindy, I almost cried at the end when I read about...Cindy, I almost cried at the end when I read about the demise of this lovely sanctuary.
