" Visiting Glen magna farms here in Denver's Massachusetts on Boston's north shore with Kathy -- is the property manager here at Glen magna farms. And there's so much to see here but one of the things that we want to concentrate right away. It is a little building that dates to 1793 is it yes that's and was designed and built by Samuel Macintyre who's probably one of the big big names in terms of the neo classical period in the late seventeen hundred's tell us a little bit about the history -- building."

" Wealthiest building was built on as you said in the late seventeen hundred's by Samuel Macintyre he'd originally stood on property about four miles away from him to derby farm house. And it was moved to Glen magna in 191 by mrs. endicott now what was a little house like this built for certainly not a dwelling in its more of a folly right it's more of a folly that as the story goes that they and this property to -- the groundskeeper would leave fresh picked berries and cream. And one of the bottom. Rodents and failing to proceed upstairs to read a book or to relax our cup Petit a hot day."

" Yes a place to get away from it off right and so the second story is really the destination right exactly. And tell me before we kind of get closer to it there's large statue on the top of the gable end and then some beautiful -- what what do these represent."

" Well beyond the reaper is original as the parents. The story goes that the reaper heads towards the west after a hard day's work and are these original statues they are original the reaper however are reproductions of the original reaper blew off. The roof in the 1980s and stop."

" In the 1980s. But it had been there since 191 exactly when mrs. and to cut. Had the house moved here and basically restored it and the grounds yes. From a distance the building almost reads like stone but of course it's wood construction. Flush so that it reads a little bit like a masonry element but then when you looked at that point courses on the corners you can realize that it is all just wooden construction. And it's designed to to give the impression of a good solid base to what up above is a very -- Building with the sash that that curved top sash in the middle and the -- pile laster sentence lags which I believe were actually carved by McIntyre right yes right and so this is all original. Even the glass and some of the was original to the 1790s construction exactly. OK now the property here is is pretty extensive isn't it it hadn't they amassed like three or 400 acres."

" I'm originally depravity of property amassed from twenty acres to 360 acres. Apparently. We own eleven and the surround of the sixties on as time."

" Fabulous tell me about the gardens."

" This is the rose garden are all the roses planted here faithful to the original gardens dating back to 1900 exactly there's no variety here that wasn't available in 1920 when -- of these varieties like -- in -- for example in front of us is Rosa workers say it wouldn't north. We have to the right the darker pink fairy rose and then the climber is new dawn."

" You -- is a very famous climbing rose yes now what about some of the other gardens is there a Mediterranean style garden. The Italian academy the most beautiful garden -- profit. It's really a garden room enclosed by hedges and brick walls isn't it exactly now this was restored or has this always been maintained to."

" This is restore led began in the late 1983. It's restored back to its 1930s. Beauty. And what is the plant material that's used here is I see a lot of peonies and kind of old fashioned plants we have bleeding track peony lots of -- hearth stacked -- talents. Healy -- this coral bells."

" And the most stunning thing I'm looking at though is this pergola now are these marble columns and the marble columns. They were brought to the property in the 1930s for five dollars a piece five dollars a piece -- from the Cushing estate so there there architectural salvage back in the thirties back. That's a fabulous story and of course it's holding up but gigantic. Wisteria -- right with terrorism -- hundred insult. Now why why is this place called Glen magna."

" Mr. endicott believed that Glen magna was in exceptional birthplace. In Leicester England so he named it after his life."

" His homeland and and when they were building here I guess their goal was to really create. A colonial revival. Estate right yes. Tell us a little bit about the big house."

" The house originally theory is that the oldest part of the house dates back to 1690s. However and none of that exists today right it was renovated in 1896 to what it looks like today which is really a mansion house exactly. Really the oldest part of the house is the west wing. This end card evident on the -- 1824. The dining room is notable it dates back 1896. With congress cited wallpaper in the wallpaper depicts the courtship of cupid and psyche from Greek mythology. The front foyer which is characteristic -- our colonial revival with the circular staircase. In the grand portico at different entrance."

" And so it was the last generation that did the garden embellishment strike. Yes because the endicott family owned this house for almost a 140 years -- for youth magnificent Kathy thanks for the tour Bob nice to see if."
