Can't photograph inside the Maestro's house. This Washington Irving's cottage that he built along the Hudson in the later part of his life when he was more well-off and established. It is an eclectic, romantic era cottage that was carefully designed to be seen and evoke different feelings at different angles. The landscape is a rustic, sculpted landscape in which the trees are placed and worn rock walls containing ponds and "rustic streams" tumbling forth evoke some Shakespearean vision of ancient Rome or Greece.
He was a gentleman-farmer, so common for the time, but found it more expensive to raise his own food than to simply buy it from the vast and numerous local farms.
Irving loved whimsy and storytelling and was less formal than his political contemporaries. He turned-down political positions and wanted little to do with the rough and tumble of politics. I suspect he didn't want to deal with the hypocrisy and nonsense. His writing shows a disdain for people of authority. He was not a particularly distinguished student - and his disdain for teachers is loud and clear in his description of the pedantic Ichabod Crane, Or Dame Van Winkle or Tom Walker's Termagant Wife. The description of Tom Walker's descent into financial malfeasance, corruption and abuse of the meekest people is some of the most masterful writing I've ever read. Its description of the market overheating from the greed of flimsy land speculation and oppressive fees and interest rates on poor people is so apropo to today. The only honest and likable character in the story is the Devil. He makes no bones about his role and what you get into if you deal with him, while Tom Walker makes people in financial hardship feel he is their best friend and savior while extracting every penny he can from them.It is magnificent writing and commentary on greed that is as true today as it was then.
The cottage is small and intimate. I could imagine long evenings of talking and laughing and story telling, eating and drinking, overlooking the Hudson. Much like the feast in the Legend of Sleepy Hollow. He certainly embraced the Christmas festivities (mistletoe) he described in his Sketchbook.
I was surprised because I expected a mansion of the type of the Nation's early powerbrokers and the later Robber Barons. Irving, like all good artists lived a less lavish lifestyle. Although he is the first truly early American writer his life was not like the Vanderbilts, Jays, Goulds etc... He had a staff of mainly Irish immigrants that were paid for their work. He never owned nor wanted enslaved people. He was clearly against this. In his political writings he says that southern politicians couldn't get anything done because they had to get back to whoop their Negros.
His dining room is small and intimate overlooking the Hudson. The chandeliers and candles all had crystals hanging from them. I can imagine a fall night with the candles all flickering around the room, everyone eating and drinking and talking around the fireplace. When I visit Guilded-Age mansions they are so large and sterile (albeit beautiful) but they do not look like they were fun and inviting like Irving's cottage is.
I recommend reading his works before touring, although not a requirement, but if you've read my favorite (The Devil and Tom Walker) you can feel his presence in that place.
In his stories he could be loose with the facts. Major John Andre was hung in Tappan not Tarrytown! And in this vein there are the metal numbers "1656" on his cottage fireplace. What they refer to is unknown. The house was built in the 1830s. Perhaps it is to give the place an authenticity of an Old-New York Dutch House (by then long gone), or perhaps to imbue the place with spirit or who knows. Only Irving does.
"Imagine if these were your family portraits hanging above the mantel!"
We could not stop laughing, imagining taking guests on a home tour, like: "Oh, and here's Great Great Uncle Jesse. He's on my mother's side...."

Only the second project of its kind in the world, Outlets at Legends - is named in reflection of the development’s overall design and is intended to recognize those people that have helped make the northern Nevada area truly unique. It honors legends of the state in athletics, music, exploration, science, technology, politics and art.
Outlets at Legends includes a 1,000-room upscale casino resort property from Las Vegas-based Olympia Gaming, entertainment venues and a variety of restaurant offerings and is anticipated to bring more than 800,000 new tourists to the Reno-Sparks area and generate $600 million in taxable sales annually.

Vickers-Supermarine Spitfire F Mk.IXb 'Mylcraine' (G-ASJV/MH434). Flying Legends Airshow, Duxford, 8th July 2017.
Flying Legends is famous for it's multiple Spitfire displays, but this year was exceptional with 11 Spits, a Seafire and no less than five Hurricanes in action. The Iraqi Fury II was also a star performer, while the booked French Sea Fury failed to show up.
Finishing the show with the traditional "Big Wing" display of everything that can fly, does fly, and showcasing the Spitfire Orchestra, this is a show not to be missed by lovers of WW2 combat aircraft.
As the plaque reads:
The legend of Charlemagne
"...I would like you, my four sons, to be the guardians of this growing settlement, to see that it does become a great community in which men can live, can work, can be educated, can worship and can play.
You, my first born, are to be the guardian of the civic, the business, the industrial life of this community.
Education will become important in the life of this growing community. And you, my second son, are to be the guardian of this educational and cultural expression.
Soon after this community is settled, men will band together to worship, and you, my third son, are to be entrusted with the guardianship of this religious expression.
Amid this beautiful setting, it is only natural that recreation activity will flourish, and you, my last-born, shall be the guardian of this natural recreation expression of man living in these surroundings.
As for me, I shall now leave you to join my Indian friends."
Finishing his talk, Charlemagne then bade farewell to his four sons and walked out of the den into the night and westward.
