“The whole layout and focus of your home was meant to make use of the the perspectives,” says Todd. There was an initial house in the 50’s that was dismantled when the home was bought. “Our goal was to make a home that may happen to be constructed 100 years ago,” Todd says. “Our inspiration came from our visits to Northeast Harbor Maine when we visited the well-known writer and hostess, Susan Mary Alsop.”

Alsop’s buddies comprised the Pierponts Brooke Astor and other leading lights. “With Susan Mary we’d attend events, teas and dinners which gave us the chance to see these Gilded Age summer houses,” Todd says. “We wished to bring a little of this Northeast Harbor Maine taste to Mount Vernon, Va.
“This was also the time we were re-designing the insides in the British Embassy Home in District of Columbia, and we were very much inspired by the job of Sir Edwyn Lutyen.”
