The Endeavor, Rounding Brant Point, Nantucket


Still life with Antique Chinese Ginger Jar

 

The Lobster Pot in Redding is part of the original 75 acre property Mark Twain purchased in March 1906. This is where Isabel Lyon lived as she tended to the construction and interior decoration of Stormfield prior to Twain's arrival in 1908.

The original Saltbox was lost to fire in 1953 but the foundation, patios, gardens and stonework still remain. The gardens, which Susan Durkee faithfully tend to, are a colorful focal point from early spring to late fall.
