once,

on a hot september afternoon,

took a few quick pics ... revisiting

some of my favorite designs

at one of my favorite houses

(filled with several of my favorite people)

Kirby Hall, Elizabethan remodelled 1638-40 by Nicholas Stone (we don't know if Jones advised.)

Lordy, what did we do without the internet?

All manner of material and classes at hand.

Here, a delightful find (was poking around for

tidbits that might lead to Inigo Jones).
