Number one is the lobby at The Wilderness Lodge at Disney World.

Sorry, no.

The one I'm looking for is from the early 1900's. Disney copied from the original.

A small constellation of stars today. Congrats to all.

Answers:

1. Yellowstone Lodge, Old Faithful Inn, Yellowstone Park, Wyoming, 1903-04, or I would accept Glacier Park, Glacier Park Lodge, 1913, Glacier, Montana as they were built in a similar style.

2. Biltmore Library, Biltmore Estate, Asheville, NC

3. Monticello, Thomas Jefferson�s home. Wall displays originals of Indian artifacts brought back from the Louis and Clark expedition

4. San Simeon, William Randolph Hurst�s Estate between LA and San Francisco, CA. Original picture is the indoor pool not to be confused with the more famous outdoor �Neptune� pool pictured at end

5. Fallingwater, outside of Champion, PA. Frank Lloyd Wright�s creation for Edgar Kaufman

6. Governor�s Palace, Colonial Williamsburg, Williamsburg, VA , Buff brick building in center, entrance foyer. Picture at end.

7. Mount Vernon, George Washington�s Dining Room, just a short drive down the Potomac from Alexandria, VA

8. Peacock Room, once the dining room in the London home of Frederick R. Leyland, a wealthy ship-owner from Liverpool, England. It was originally designed by a gifted interior architect named Thomas Jeckyll. In what was supposed to be a touch up paint job, was reworked (without telling the owner) by artist, James Whistler, who got fired for going well past the scope of the original idea, much over time, and budget. That battle resulted in Whistler painting battling Peacocks with money at their feet. The room was originally made to house a blue and white porcelain collection. Whistler changed that. The room was purchased by Charles Freer in 1903, for his home in Detroit. When he died, it was reinstalled, and now restored in Freer Gallery at the Smithsonian, Washington, D.C.

9. Edison�s Lab from Menlo Park, NJ, now in Ford Museum, Dearborn, MI

10. The Breakers, Newport Rhode Island. The Breakers is the grandest of Newport's summer "cottages" and a symbol of the Vanderbilt (steamships and NYC railroad) family's social and financial preeminence in turn of the century America. Commodore Cornelius Vanderbilt (1794-1877) established the family fortune in steamships and later in the New York Central Railroad, which was a pivotal development in the industrial growth of the nation during the late 19th century. Now a National Landmark. The cottage is below on coast

I was close on #6

Thomas Skaggs, Foothills of Mount Level

I didn't have to google any of my answers since I had been to those places. On #6...I knew it was a place I had seen at Williamsburg...right location, wrong building!

Thanks for the trivia...that was fun.

Good onya.  I'll try again next week.
