The mansion has many unique features: a bathroom with mirrors on three walls + ceiling (guess the owner loved their body π), servant quarters, and hidden staircases. Beautiful Tiffany glass and Chinese blue-and-white porcelain collections πΆβ€οΈ. The staff thanked us warmly for visiting β such a kind touch! ποΈ Why go? Itβs a blend of art, history, and architecture β and a peaceful escape from the city.
