Helpful Score: 1

I grew up 40 miles from Aiken, SC, but the lives of the pre-income-tax wealthy families who lived in Aiken around the turn of the last century were unknown to me. Mr. Smith and Mr. Naifeh tell a wonderful tale of the history of the Whitney family who built the house, the home itself, and even more so the stories of the current-day artisans and workers who brought it back to life.

A thoroughly enjoyable read.
