点评:I was expecting another southern plantation home, but that isn’t what this house is at all. Walter (who made his fortune as a bottler for Coca Cola) and Bessie Bellingrath built the gardens first and later the home, which was completed in 1935. The gardens are very nice to wander around in, but I suspect would be really warm in summer months. The home tour takes about one hour and is filled with original furniture, belongings, art, and collections of the Bellingraths. The home is beautiful and the tour very interesting. Tip: Tours are on the hour. We arrived right at noon, but that is too late for the noon tour because it takes at least 10-15 minutes to walk through the garden to the home. Arrive at least 15-20 minutes before the tour time you want. There is a small café, gift shop and restrooms.
翻译:我原本以为会看到另一座南方种植园风格的宅邸,但这座房子完全不同。沃尔特(靠可口可乐装瓶生意发家致富)和贝西·贝林格拉斯夫妇先建造了花园,之后才建造了这座宅邸,于1935年竣工。花园非常宜人,漫步其中令人心旷神怡,但我估计夏天会很热。宅邸参观大约需要一个小时,里面陈列着贝林格拉斯夫妇的家具、个人物品、艺术品和收藏品。宅邸本身非常漂亮,参观过程也很有趣。温馨提示:参观活动每小时整点开始。我们中午12点才到,但已经错过了中午的参观时间,因为穿过花园走到宅邸至少需要10-15分钟。建议您至少提前15-20分钟到达。宅邸内设有小型咖啡馆、礼品店和洗手间。
