Maybe it's me but I've found that Lyndhurst has a special, positive atmosphere. What a pleasure to learn that a house has been so well loved and used. I used to be involved with the American Red Cross and was extra pleased to learn about how items from Lyndhurst were used to assist the Red Cross. Another house and estate that has been put to excellent use the mansion and ground of Yaddo, the home of philanthropists Spencer and Katrina Trask, that would be turned into a retreat for writers and artists. I don't know if there is much information and many photographs but maybe Yaddo could be the subject for an episode of "This House".

@bobcat3658 I was thinking about the "Dark Shadows" connection! Lyndhurts for the movies, Seaview Terrace for the TV show. If my memory is right, "the old house" that was sometimes shown and that Baranabas lived in on the TV series was on the Lyndhurst estate but was lost in a fire.
