The Photos from Longue Vue
Looking through the Back of the Loggia; The South Facade & Spanish Court Garden; The Potting Shed Area; The Parterre Garden with a Miniature Orange Tree; The Dolphin Fountain in the Spanish Court -- The Allee of Live Oaks as one approaches the house
It was a really fabulous place, made more so by the fact that the docent was a retired man who has been there for 11 years, and clearly has a personal attachment to the property. I went there for the garden, but I have to say the house is very impressive in its design, as well.
I visited it back in the 90s before the Hurricane. It was so beautiful.
