Final Installment of Swannanoa Estate

Here is a picture of Swannanoa which I found on Wiki. I only had my telephoto lens with me so was unable to get a complete shot. Maybe this will better show you the size of the home and its architectural style.

These three pictures are of the signed Tiffany chandler hanging in the Gentlemen’s Smoking Room

This delicate mural is over the fireplace in the Smoking Room

These are the double stairs up to second floor.

 Tiffany-like large stained glass window at the head of the stairs. As you walk in the front door, it almost knocks you off your feet. It is absolutely gorgeous with the light coming through it. The woman is a representation of Mrs. Dooley, the beloved wife of the builder and original 

owner of the estate.

The following are pictures I took of some of some of the 

detail work in the home.

This is an article which was on a table in the home.

Swannanoa Castle ~ The Lost Haunted Home on the Hill

Pond at Swannanoa Mansion Atop Afton Mountain ~ Virginia

This shows the pond with the beautiful old steps around it. They are now in terrible disrepair, and you travel at your own risk.

Stay tuned for more pictures of my two visits to the mansion. These include a bell tower, a gorgeous stained glass window, a signed Tiffany chandelier, carved woodwork....and the list goes on and on.
