 A Tudor-style mansion built in the 1920's for the family of George Eldron Keith, one of the most prominent figures in Brockton's shoe manufacturing business. Enormous paintings in every room, gold foiling on the dining room ceilings, silver-foil on all the walls of the master suite and even servant buzzers under the table. Much of the ornamental pieces clearly crafted by hand. Walking the grounds of this estate, it's hard not to think of a scene from Jeeves & Wooster, Bertie scheming unsuccessfully to get rid of the wrongly enamoured Honoria Glossop.
