Jim and I toured the Hermitage Foundation Museum, an early 20th century Arts-and-Crafts estate on the Lafayetter River, which was the summer retreat of William and Florence Sloan. It houses a very large collection of Asian art, contains hidden doors and stairways, and has incredible woodcarvings both inside and outside. The 12 acres surrounding the home were filled with gardens as well as the woodshed which housed the three craftsmen. We took a cab out there and then bummed a ride back to the city from a former employee who joined our tour.
