I love strong architectural features. At the Anderson House guests will have plenty to enjoy starting at the large entrance gates designed for carriage traffic, a dramatic covered entrance and courtyard of this 1905 Florentine Villa. The exterior façade boasts tall columns, intricate cornerstones and large iron lanterns. (I enjoyed designing and installing decorative lighting in this entry courtyard for the Phillips Collection Gala). As guests enter, they will notice an eclectic interior with carved wood walls, gilded papier-mâché ceilings, ornate iron staircases, and intricate marble floors. This gilded age mansion features and elegant ballroom with a Winter Garden room leading to the walled exterior garden which also features several spaces for an interesting garden reception.
