Cheekwood: A Masterpiece by Man & Nature | NPT

It’s a house built between two world wars, a house intimately connected to its landscape, a showplace, yet a private home. Completed in 1932, Cheekwood embraced the latest technology, but was designed to look old. Despite its innovative engineering, it was an anachronism almost as soon as it was built- during the last gasps of a brief era in American architectural history. Yet Cheekwood survives for public enjoyment as one of the few complete examples of the American Country Place Era, a magnificent blend of architecture, landscape and interior design.
