Speaking of Knoll, because she knows of my love of architecture, Midnite once gave me a book, unaware that there's an extensive section about Lyndhurst in it - and two of the more fascinating things are a reproduction of architect Alexander Jackson Davis' original watercolor and ink drawing of what the east elevation of Knoll was to look like and then a B&W drawing of what the west elevation actually looked like before the 1865 addition that turned the house into Lyndhurst was built. Though it's a bit disconcerting to see the house without the tower which is such a startling and defining feature nowadays.
If there's any interest to see them, I'll gladly scan/post the drawings.
