The tour took about an hour and a half, and it was well worth it. The guide was not only very knowledgeable about the house itself, but explained how they ensured that those things that needed replacement were authentic. It's a fascinating house, and its style was ahead of its time. Although this is not a large mansion, it's included with them as far as tickets go, so when you decide to go mansion-hopping, a non-expiring, five-mansion ticket is an inexpensive way to see five of the mansions of your choice over the course of as many years as it takes you to get to them. We have two mansions left on our tickets: maybe next year.
