Well…not really. Just my friend’s son’s dog, Reina (See Reina). She just loves to splash around in their pool. I believe there are eyes in there somewhere.

In the previous post I said that it would be the final set of pictures I would post on the Armour-Stiner house, but I couldn’t resist sharing this one because in a remarkable house this is probably its most remarkable feature.
Unfortunately, I didn’t take the picture, instead finding it on the internet. Why did I not take it? Well, apart from a couple of private rooms kept locked and used only by the owner, this was the only part of the house that we were not allowed to visit. I’m not sure exactly why, but the guide said something about the town not allowing it.
Apparently this room on the fourth floor was once the ballroom and the spiral staircase ascends to a cupola with what must be a spectacular view across the Hudson River.
A final set of pictures from the Armour-Stiner house in Irvington, NY. The grounds are not large and there’s not much in the way of flower beds, but there are a number of interesting structures. I found the greenhouse to be particularly interesting. A number of the buildings are replicas of those that once existed, but the greenhouse is apparently a restored Lord & Burnham Greenhouse.
