That's a great placement of the lantern at the front door, infront of the transom and within the deep doorway to throw the light where it is most needed. And a great outbuilding, too!
I would kill for that yard--grass bordered by a stone wall with the woods beyond. The ground seems to slope away, so there must be great views from the house and yard.
Hillcrest. Residence of Martha Baird Allen Rockefeller. Designed by Mott Schmidt. Martha Baird the second wife of JDR, Jr. Spent one night in the house the remained at 740 Park Avenue. Now the Rockefeller Archive Center.
Lovely home and yes as others have remarked this certainly must be taxing work ;>
If the Mott Schmidt 'site' is correct then Hillcrest was only built in 1962. The lovely execution is more in keeping with manor homes built a generation prior.

Your hardships are plentiful and burdensome.
Nice to know the truck made it.
What is the difference between a mansion and a house? Watever you calls it, its rather grand!
Miss Marienruh is that you? My how you've grown.

It's amazing how a drop of rain can make stonework even more beautiful. Why would you want to be inside when you could be outside playing in the rain?
Gorgeous!!
