The property is only an acre and a half, but appears much larger because it is almost five hundred feet deep and comparatively narrow. The 18th Century house is right out at the road, typical for its era, which handily leaves the majority of the property free for the gardens. They are Louis's wild experiment, where he is free of the need for the realistic levels of practicality, economy, and functionality that typify his projects for his clients. http://www.goprovidence.com//calendar/index.cfm?action=results&sdate=08-08-10&edate=08-08-10&keyword=&myid=3751 Sun, 08 Aug 2010 Times: 11:00am - Kaleidoscope Theatre presents...
