Stan Hywet Hall

This place was so amazing.  I'm in love with beautiful houses and especially old houses.  I loved driving around Cleveland and see the beautiful old homes.  This home, is in Akron.  It was built by the family that owned Goodyear Tire.  It was completed in in 1915 and was inspired by the English Tudor style.  We toured the house and then walked around the gardens. It was a rainy day and I felt like I was somewhere else, like on an estate in England.  It was absolutely gorgeous.


 










 

 
There were several different gardens, but my favorite was this walled-in English Country Garden.  It felt like the Secret Garden. I could have stayed and read a while book on a bench and be entirely content and satisfied.  We had a great time together and hope to be able to keep up these visits.
