If you know ‘The Great Gatsby’ you know these homes of the Golden Age.
In New York and Connecticut, along the sound shoreline the roaring twenties was a time of wealth and excess. This was one.
This is Eolia, a 42 room mansion named for the goddess of the wind. The mansion is on the Connecticut shore side and very windy.
I came across this original image taken in 2015. It has been published, printed, in shows, and on-line for years but I still love it. Even now it hangs in my South Carolina home.
I can see why it’s popular. Amazing shot of a real beauty! Best era.
The state of CT owns the land now, it’s a park. I think the building can be rented for large events.
I can imagine how magnificent it looked all lit up for a fabulous ‘Gatsby style’ party.
It must have looked great. There is over 200 + acres.
WOW!
