Strawberry Hill

On Thursday,  I went all the way to Strawberry Hill to visit a house named Strawberry Hill.  The house was built by Horace Walpole in the Gothic Revival Style.  The house is still being restored and most of the furniture is actually in the Yale Museum in Connecticut.  The house was still amazing and the amount of gold leaf around the house was crazy.  Definitely one of my prettiest interiors I have seen this semester.
