The cool story from the Hill Stead museum is that in the early 1900s the owner of the house was on a buying trip of fine art in NYC and the building he stored all the paintings in caught fire. He begged for help and some people got ladders. Anyway, there is a photograph found by the NYC library. The photo shows a person going down a ladder of a building on fire. Hes carrying a painting. And if you turn this photograph upside down and squint you can see that it is the very painting up on the wall in this grand room in the mansion. A degas I think. Neat to have a photo to go with the story.
