Walter Art Museum: 1 West Mount Vernon Place, the Hackerman House

At last I come to the original motivation for my visit and it feels a little anticlimactic.  I already been immersed in art for over 2 hours and honestly I'm little tired.  From the Asian Collection there is just a short set of steps to climb and then I am in the Hackerman House.  It seems like there are two reasons to be here.  The first is to admire the Pre-Bellum architecture, although, it's not completely clear was that original element of the design is still true to it's designer's vision.  The place has been upgraded and renovated a couple of times as owners, tastes and technology changed.  Still there are a lot of dramatic visual lines to explore.

The second reason will be in the next post.
