The Ballroom at Belvoir. This weekend, whilst her doors were shuttered, I was kindly invited to a private tour of @belvoircastle in preparation for her reopening to visitors on March 12th. It felt quite surreal to visit this historic Castle after seeing its resplendent interiors on The Crown and The Young Victoria, and I can’t wait to share more photographs from my visit. On a separate point, it was refreshing to note the warmth and diversity of the team at Belvoir. Belvoir want to share the history and beauty of The Castle with everyone, and want every visitor to feel welcome. Their refreshing approach to inclusion allows people from diverse backgrounds, such as myself, to share and cherish the best of English Heritage. @duchessrutland #belvoir #belvoircastle #leicestershire #grantham #dukeandduchessofrutland #historiccastles #castle #historichome #historichomes #historichouse #gothicrevival #gothicrevivalarchitecture #statelyhome #statelyhouse #englishcountryhouse #interior #interiors #ballroom #interiordecor #interiordecorating #interiordecoration #interiordecorator #interiordesign #interiordesigner #art #artwork #portait #portraitpainting #painting #staircase (at Belvoir Castle) https://www.instagram.com/p/ConCkpxozSd/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I’m guessing the view has changed since 1642, but here’s a shot looking out from the inside of the “Witch House” in Salem, Massachusetts. We’ve walked by hundreds of times but finally took a peak inside last week #newenglandphotography #oldhouselove #historichome (at Witch House. Salem.

Yesterday my doctor told me he thinks I’m in the clear with Lyme disease since I finished the course of antibiotics, but then today I woke up feeling awful and tested positive for Covid 🙃 Using this bedrest as an excuse to blaze through my TBR—currently on a Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings kick, so here are some pics from the last time I visited her house. 📸: @windforthesailboat_ 👗: @goodwillmanasota 👟: @goodwillcfl 🦠 📖 📚 #explorida #roamflorida #florida #flstofmind #floridaliving #gainesville #florida_greatshots #fun_in_florida #LoveFL #crosscreek #alachua #historichome #history #bookstagram #theyearling #marjoriekinnanrawlings #vintage #1930sdress #alachuacounty #visitgainesville #whyilovegnv #whatsgoodalachuacounty #getoutdoorsfl @fl.stateparks @visitflorida @visitgainesville (at Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings Historic State Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/CgVD7tfOlPb/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

This is the John and Mary Mattson home. It’s located on Main Street in the Sandy Historical District in Utah. The "eclectic Victorian" home was built in 1910, by immigrants John Mattson, born 1861 in Jämtland, Sweden and Mary Cunningham Mattson, born 1856 in Leicestershire, England.
John Mattson was a miner and later mining contractor and salesman. From the 1870s-1890s, Sandy experienced a boom in the mining industry. The town had several mills and smelters. It was located at the crossroads of railway lines connecting Big and Little Cottonwood canyons to the east, Bingham Canyon to the west and Salt Lake City, located 10 miles to the north.
Mary Mattson died in 1926. John continued to live in the house until 1933 when he moved to Ogden, Utah. Mattson sold the home to the Sandy City Bank in 1936 and died the next year. The couple are buried in the Sandy City Cemetery a few blocks from their former house.
A school teacher at Jordan High named Robert Pixon and his wife, Emma Schmidt Pixon, bought the home in 1939. They added the upstairs rooms to the house. The wraparound porch may have also not been original to the home. The Pixons sold the house in 1941.
The home was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1996. It's NRHP registration form from that time explains its significance (paragraph break added):
“Just as Sandy’s livelihood depended on its proximity to the canyons, rushing creeks and Salt Lake City, so Sandy’s historic homes express the unique Sandy identity of dependence on the surrounding landscape. Sturdy adobe, wood, brick and stone homes built of materials gathered from the local canyons, were usually enhanced by garden plots, orchards, outbuildings and pasture.
"This home uses local brick, and likely included a garden plot. The style and situation of these early Sandy homes reflect the Mormon ethics of self-reliance and community cooperation. Homesteads accompanied by property and outbuildings also reflected the diversity of skills and occupations mastered by early Sandy residents who functioned simultaneously as businessmen, farmers and laborers in order to survive economically.”

Я побачив герб
Над каміном
Пройшов повз портрети предків
Карти землі, якою вони володіли
Така витонченість
Гобеленів, вивішених на стінах
Чудові столи
Де вони бенкетували в залах
Зберігається в межах прекрасних особняків
Щоб ми могли знати своє місце
Як дивно це здається
Привабливість у мене є
Щоб піднятися цими сходами
Вид з галерей
Символи сили та класу
Це залишило моїх предків
З життям, що живе в гною без грошей
Девід Хопкрофт квітень 2019 року
