Just popped up on my feed, providing a wonderful memory from the past, an Atlanta home that we almost purchased (but plans changed and we Moved to New York). Atlanta starchitect of the 20’s, Neel Reid, designed this jewel on Habersham Road, in Buckhead, taking inspiration from Tintinhull House in Somerset, England. Huge limestone eagles perched on bold columns present a dramatic entrance to the cobblestone courtyard. The eagles, hallmarks of this distinguished residence, provide the basis for its name, Eagle House.

Who doesn’t love fireworks! Especially when the setting is Newport with its bridge festively lit and historic legacy (the same harbor from which Washington, Lafayette, and Rochambeau set sail during the American Revolution). Which fireworks are your favorite? Wishing you an effervescently joyous Fourth of July.
