| The large Anderson House has four stories above ground and is a century
old.
| Inside one of the driveways' arches perches a wooden owl.
| A panoramic movie of a room with lots of murals. As the tour guide
explains, these murals are about the Andersons' family history.
| In case you didn't notice in the previous movie, the house's ceilings
are extravagant.

| The French Room is a copy of a room in Versailles.
| A panoramic movie of the French Room. The tour guide explained a bit
about the tapestries on the audio track. She also mentioned the
tapestries are so faded because they're made of a material (silk-wool
blend) that can't be restored.
| Various musical instruments in gold relief on the music room's ceiling.
| The English Room. Yep, definitely like an English royal house.

| I like this table with a wide variety of marble.
| The dining room, with lots of mahogany. Also, the ceiling, though it's
hard to tell, has nice floral and fruity reliefs.
Artificially
brightened.
| A panoramic video of the "winter garden", a wide long hallway almost
like a sunroom. It has lots of windows to the outside and hence has
lots of light. It's also warm. Apparently it's nicely insulated. The
decor is art deco. I particularly like the mural shown at the end of
the video; it gives a sense that the outside is on both sides.
| At the other end of the hall, there are murals of the Andersons' favorite
driving routes.

| Nicely done trompe l'oeil.
| More. (Another high-quality trompe l'oeil.)
At the bottom of the frame is the top of a fireplace.
