Brothers John and Eliot Cross counted the country\u2019s richest and most influential figures among their clients, yet they tended to gravitate toward an unpretentious luxury\u2014a polite and historically embedded expression of their wealth. They designed several magnificent Colonial Revival houses in New York as well as country houses in fashionable areas such as Long Island\u2019s North Shore and East End, Greenwich, Connecticut, and Far Hills, New Jersey. Most notably, they designed J. Watson and Electra Havemeyer Webb\u2019s Brick House in Shelburne, Vermont (now part of the Shelburne Museum), Chestertown House in Southampton for H. F. du Pont, and the childhood home of famed decorator Sister Parish in Far Hills, New Jersey. Pennoyer and Walker will share gorgeous photos of these homes and insight into the people who lived there and will discuss the influences the Cross brothers used while designing each property<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Winterthur Museum &amp; Gardens Tuesday, May 19 at 6:00 pm Copeland Lecture Hall 5105 Kennett Pike, Wilmington, DE Winterthur recommends using Mapquest for directions as Google Maps sometimes gives inaccurate directions.
