Biltmore Estate: The Most Distinguished Private Place | John Morrill Bryan, Richard Morris Hunt
5 posts
In the late 1880s, two supreme talentsarchitect Richard Morris Hunt and landscape architect Frederick Law Olmstedwere brought together by the Vanderbilt fortune. The result was the magnificent Biltmore Estate, explored here in archival and new color photography, sketches, and construction photos that document the entire design, development, and construction.

For any Hallmark movie fans out there, this one is FANTASTIC. Time travel, gorgeous setting, great clothes, and of course-romance. ❤️ #romance #hallmark

George Vanderbilt‘s personal library! The Biltmore Estate was just incredible. #fallbreak

Scochrane26 Did they tell you there‘s a private reading room off the library? It‘s used as something else, but that‘s where I would have been most days. 2y
JenReadsAlot I want to go there! 2y
britt_brooke @Scochrane26 We did the audio tour, and I don‘t recall it mentioning that, but that‘s where I‘d be, too! 2y

britt_brooke @JenReadsAlot The whole is estate is just beautiful; opulence to the extreme! 2y
LeahBergen Bucket list for me! 2y
HeatherBookNerd It‘s really something! 2y
britt_brooke @LeahBergen I hope you see it someday. It‘s incredible! 2y
Scochrane26 @britt_brooke One of the staff members told me about the room last time during a conversation. I don‘t think I‘ve ever done the audio tour—probably should. It‘s always hard to decide what season to go in—Christmas is a popular time, but tulip season in the gardens is beautiful. 2y
batsy That looks incredible 😍 2y
britt_brooke @Scochrane26 They were *just* starting to decorate for Christmas while we were there (it was last month). I‘d love to see it fully decorated. 🤩 2y
britt_brooke @batsy Over 22,000 books, they say. 🤩 2y
Lcsmcat @britt_brooke It‘s amazing at Christmas! But @Scochrane26 is also right about the gardens. The azaleas alone are worth the trip. 2y
britt_brooke @Lcsmcat I LOVE azaleas! 2y

BookNAround When my husband and I toured the Biltmore, he heard how many books were in the library and immediately turned to me and said, “It‘s not a contest.” Lol! 7y
