Guests are sure to be impressed by the beauty of this historic site. The House of the Singing Winds was built by the Steeles in 1907 and is an excellent spot for photos. The formal gardens have recently been restored to their original beauty, featuring gorgeous lily ponds and winding paths. The Large Studio, built in 1916 and used primarily to display Steele’s work, is a striking indoor space and serves as a backdrop for outdoor events.
