The first book on Winfield House in its seventy-year history.
Winfield House, a beautiful home set in twelve acres of Regent's Park in London, was built in 1936-37 by the Woolworth heiress Barbara Hutton. After World War II she gave it to the United States government for use as the official residence of the American Ambassador to the Court of St. James's.
In this handsome book, James Mortimer's glorious photographs and a text by Maria Tuttle, the wife of the present Ambassador, reveal every aspect of the elegant house and garden, providing personal insights into the life of the house and its role as a tool of modern public diplomacy. The distinguished architectural historian Marcus Binney contributes an informative introduction to the history and design of this remarkable house. 175 illustrations, 158 in color.
