CHIMNEYS

There are a few chimneys on the historic home where we'll be celebrating our daughter's marriage next summer.  The small photo shows the detail of one pair of chimneys on a less overcast day than the large shot.

From the estate's website:
Meadow Brook is the historic home built by one of the automotive aristocracy's most remarkable women, Matilda Dodge Wilson, widow of automobile pioneer John Dodge, and her second husband, lumber broker Alfred Wilson. Constructed between 1926 and 1929, for $4 million, Meadow Brook represents one of the finest examples of Tudor-revival architecture in America.

Very intricate stone work. Looks like a beautiful building.

All I want is a room somewhere;
Far away from the cold night Air,
with one enormous chair,
Wouldn't it be loverly!
Lots of coal, making lots of heat;
Warm hands warm face warm feet..........

Love the fancy brickwork on that chimney, what sort of style would you call that?

I've thought that this would be one of the most challenging themes--you've nailed it!

Wow, that's a lot of chimneys! Great detail on the close up, too. Looks like a great venue for a wedding; do you have the whole estate or do you just take a part of it?

There's a theme called 'chimneys'? I guess that would be a tough one to fill but you did it justice. I love the way the two are coupled yet the brickwork is unique on each.
