What the Seward Mansion Main Hall May Have Looked Like

I saw this photo before Betty reversed it for you, and the lay-out is identical to Poplar Hill on His Lordship's Kindness, a magnificent mansion not far from Surratt House. Poplar Hill dates to the 1780s, I believe. It is one of the few homes with a surviving family chapel in one wing. I doubt that Dumbarton, Poplar Hill, and The Old Club House had the same architect, but they could be triplets - at least on the first floor - and all within about 20 miles of each other.

Thanks, Laurie. Here's a link to Poplar Hill's front hall from the 1930s. They do look similar.
