On7, 000 of the 600,000 acres he owned in the area, Lorillard, in collaborationwith the architect Bruce Price, the father of Emily Post,
built a water system, 22 dormered cottages weathered to medieval
charm, a huge
wooden clubhouse, stables, a swimming tank, a trout hatchery and a gatehouse that Price describedas looking «like a frontispiece to an English novel.»
The
building makes use of
wooden floors and ceilings, which, besides adding to the colonial
charm, are in some cases carved with beautiful, intricate designs.
