{"product_id":"9781884836596","title":"Stan Hywet Hall \u0026 Gardens","description":"\u003cp\u003eAs a boy who grew up in Akron, F. A. Seiberling tramped the  fields and woods outside of the city, hunting the area where stone had  once been quarried. Even then, the dramatic views of the Cuyahoga  Valley, natural vistas that spread before him like paintings, would stop  young Frank in his tracks. He never forgot them. Years later, the  founder of the Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company would build Stan  Hywet—the Old English term for stone quarry—a sixty-five-room Tudor  Revival mansion on seventy acres of meticulously landscaped gardens,  orchards, and vistas.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThe skill and artistry of photographers Ian Adams and Barney Taxel  portray the splendor of the four seasons at Stan Hywet, now maintained  through the Stan Hywet Hall Foundation. These vivid images depict the  restored mansion in its magnificent setting, capturing the springtime  charm of mayapples and periwinkle in the Dell, the classic elegance of  Gertrude Seiberling’s Music Room, and the stark grandeur of snow-covered  oaks mirrored in a reflection pool. From spring mornings to Christmas  celebrations, Steve Love narrates as the reader strolls through the  rooms and halls of the mansion and rambles down the lanes through its  magnificent gardens and into the lives of the Seiberlings.   With a foreword by F. A.’s grandson, former congressman John F.  Seiberling, Stan Hywet Hall \u0026amp; Gardens captures the Seiberling family  motto, “Non Nobis Solum,” or, “Not for Us Alone”—a motto which remains  engraved, to this day, above the entrance to the Manor House.\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"University of Akron Press, The","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47059696222448,"sku":"9781884836596","price":44.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781884836596_p0.jpg?v=1763605782","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781884836596","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
