Synopsis
A wonderful book about life in the three magnificent homes of Marjorie Merriweather Post, one of America's most stylish women., This is a beautifully illustrated account of the three main homes of Marjorie Merriweather Post (1887-1973), through the 1950s to 1970s. From 1957 onwards Post lived in stately Hillwood in Washington, DC, for spring and autumn, retreated to Camp Topridge in the Adirondacks for the summer, and enjoyed the winter season at her glamorous villa Mar-A-Lago in Palm Beach, Florida. Post was one of America's most stylish and powerful women and this book, strongly evocative of the lifestyle magazines of the period, offers a vibrant and intimate picture of life in each residence--for Marjorie Post, her guests, and her staff.
