LongHouse Reserve — Attraction in Town of East Hampton

Lovely visit at LongHouse Reserve during the week. I went with not knowing what I was going to find and I got completely surprised.

The group was privileged to be allowed inside the main house to see the unusual collection of fabrics, furniture and ceramics - the house's architecture was inspired by the sustainable Imperial Temple in Ise, Japan.
