What the Seward Mansion Main Hall May Have Looked Like

[Linda Anderson]

The history is fascinating. Imagine owning a beautiful home like Poplar Hill on His Lordship's Kindness and not living in it.

"1946
Mrs. Dunham and her husband, Thomas, sell "His Lordship's Kindness" with a total of slightly more than 230 acres to Ambassador David K.E. Bruce a world renown diplomat. Bruce held diplomatic posts in Italy, France, Germany, and Great Britain. He was also Under Secretary of State at the time of the Vietnam peace talks and was U.S. liaison during the negotiations to resume diplomatic relations with China. The house was used primarily as a setting for Mrs. Bruce's fine collection of antiques, but was seldom occupied by the couple."
