It was completed in 1878 and designed by William Ralph Emerson (he was from Alton, Illinois, my neck of the woods!). The home was built as a 18,600 sq ft starter home for William Ellery Channing Eustis and Edith Hemenway.
The idea of a “sleeping porch” always intrigued me, so when I built @mossmountainfarm I knew I had to have one! Some of my favorite summertime moments have been spent here as night falls. I can hear the sounds the cicada serenading me as a cool breeze blows in from the Arkansas River.
