Recently, some friends and I toured the Mansion on O Street. In a word...AMAZING. 61 hidden doors...30,000 square feet of funky, beautiful eclecticism! Like falling down The Rabbit Hole. Seriously! Rooms within rooms, tons of Rock-n-Roll memorabilia, bathrooms not to be believed...SENSORY OVERLOAD! And everything's for sale, except for the signed guitars -- and there are plenty of those. There are artists-in-residence, one of whom was our hostess. She has lived there for 30 years. There are many photos/paintings of "H" (how she's known) throughout the Mansion. Clearly, she was a beauty back when.
We were there for more than 2 hours and could have remained longer except that we were truly overwhelmed and simply couldn't take any more in. I plan to return for another tour, because I know I missed a lot. The few pix I am posting barely scratch the surface. They were taken with my smartphone, on the fly.
