Chinese porcelains of the Sung, Ming and Qing dynasties also are featured as well as other art objects.
Set on 152 acres, which include a sunken garden designed by Beatrix Farrand, the 36-room Colonial Revival house was designed and built in 1901 by Theodate Pope, one of the first female architects in the country. Pope built the home as a retirement spot for her father, iron industrialist Alfred Atmore Pope, and her mother Ada Brooks Pope.
