Welcome to Grand Old Houses

As an extension of our Instagram account, this blog will take you even further inside some of the most enchanting and beautiful homes and stately buildings throughout the United States and abroad.

For those who haven’t visited these magical places before, you’ll get a glimpse at how the tastemakers and aesthetes of the past lived and entertained on a grand scale, told alongside the stories of the people who made them exceptional. We are firm believes that architectural preservation is not only important, it is often an ongoing struggle. Some of the houses you will see have been painstakingly restored by committed preservationists, others have been maintained by generations of the same family, yet some are crying out for help.

We hope you enjoy and come back and visit again soon!
