Whatever Wednesday - More corners of Glencairn

Let's poke about a bit more and admire  the craftsmanship at Glencairn

I loved this lamp. The shade just  glowed

Creepy king eyes watched as kids had to walk by him to enter the children's room

My head stayed on a swivel to try to see everything.  Look up, down, and sideways

Carvings in the library

And the master bedroom.  Note the turtledove post carvings. A sign of love

 Incredibly amazing place to visit.  I hope you enjoyed this quick few days of blog  posts as an overview. 
 

Monday Moments - More Glencairn

More Glencairn to explore, as promised.  The stone work is stunning

Doors brought back from  Europe

Tilework

A  view of Philly from their tower

and a view of their church - I believe around four hundred members now.
 

Finally Friday - Glencairn

Glencairn was the home of a family ( Raymond Pitcairn) that founded a religious group ( the  New
church - Late 1800s), emphasizing family, community, and faith.  The founder traveled Europe a lot and brought back art, stone masons to replicate works he saw, tile masters, and more.

This "castle" is in suburban Philly, PA. (Bryn Athyn) It housed the husband, wife, and nine kids. 

Here's the general foyer

Pretty dramatic and gorgeous.   Lots of medieval art.

This is only your introduction.   More to follow.
