Bring the design of Yesterday into Your Home of Today Experience the elegance of historic American architecture on this guided tour of the magnificent rooms at the Winterthur Museum and Country Estate. Synonymous with the finest in antique furniture, decorative arts, and period woodwork, Winterthur - the former residence of Americana collector, Henry Francis du Pont - houses more than 175 rooms, each showcasing the finest craftsmanship and styles of early America. Inside Traditional American Rooms, oversized photos introduce you to 33 beautiful rooms followed by a detailed presentation of the architectural elelments that define the era and character of each space. To that end, every baseboard, chair rail, door-and-window trim, and ceiling cornice has been measured and drawn as a scaled molding section. For the first time, Winterthur has been captured in gallery-quality photographs, technical drawings, and architectural commentary allowing homeowners, interior designers, architects, and builders to create authentic interpretations of classic American rooms.
