	Biltmore Estate - Biltmore House is Final Concert Hall for Turn-of-the-Century Organ (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		In an 1897 letter from Florio to Charles McNamee, the general manager at Biltmore Estate, the musician later complains that the Hutchings instrument, with all of its newfangled stops and pulls (electricity was still new, not to mention using electricity to power a musical instrument) was behaving unpredictably.
		Installation of the instrument in Biltmore House entailed re-instating an elaborate duct system to carry compressed air from the basement to the balcony, a design feature called for in the original architectural drawings by architect Richard Morris Hunt.
		The debut of the Biltmore House organ, recently held September 9, was undoubtedly, for the talented Ernest Skinner, the ultimate concert, a command performance, and the perfect reprise.

		Biltmore Forest is a planned residential community with a rich cultural history. The Town was planned by the best professional planners of their day. Mr.
		C.D. Beadle who had been associated with the firm of Frederick Law Olmsted of Boston, planned the protection, preservation, and perfection of the natural beauty of the area that is now known as Biltmore Forest. Mr.
		Olmsted, it is fair to say that the layout of Biltmore Forest and subsequent development is also a living example of more famous pioneering efforts in landscape architecture. Those ideas of 1920 are committed to paper in plans of the Town that existed in 1924 that have been followed and are still being followed today.

		Six years and hundreds of craftspeople later, the Biltmore House became what it is today -- an imposing presence in grayish-beige Indiana limestone with spires, chimneys and gargoyles that dwarfs any of the Newport mansions and draws nearly a million visitors a year.

		I was impressed that Biltmore remains filled with original furnishings, a rarity in houses open for tours.

		Hanging in a closet are reproductions of the sort of uniforms worn by Biltmore's housemaids – a gingham or calico dress by day, followed by a more formal fl-and-white dress for nighttime.
		The book – written by "Mary Elizabeth Carter" under what is believed to be a pseudonym – details hierarchies among servants, the uniforms they wore, their working hours and the tasks they performed in mansions of the era.
		From the walkway, Vanderbilt and his guests had access to balconies from which he could show off Biltmore House's dramatic rooflines and gargoyles, the copper roofing imprinted with gilded GV monograms, and the Blue Ridge vistas in the distance.

		Today, you'll find a number of these records all curled up and unplayable at garage sales down the street, but for the first time ever, Archeophone is presenting the complete output of the Durium Company, makers of Hit of the Week records, during its short lifespan.
		The first promotional record for the new line of records features a long spoken introduction into the method of manufacture, the company's plans for releasing a new hit each week, and a musical sample of "Tip-Toe Through the Tulips with Me" by Don Voorhees Orchestra.
		That is a record that lives up to its name: a true mystery in the history of Hit of the Week because, while it looks like a regular weekly issue, it never was and may have been a "one-off" demo.

		When you say that the Highlands and Biltmore populations are different, and are basing it on fruit shape alone, I do not think that is enough.
		There is no family record as to when the Highlands Torreya were planted, probably from seedlings he grew from seed.
		Biltmore archival records show that Torreya taxifolia was originally brought to the Biltmore in 1896-97 and was growing at the Arnold Arboretum at that time also.

	Rewilding Torreya Taxifolia?
		Biltmore Gardens staff have intentionally planted progeny of the original T. tax trees in an otherwise "wild" ravine adjacent to the parent grove.
		Squirrels at the Biltmore also regularly "plant" the progeny of these original trees, but those that sprout in the lawn are mowed over, while those that make their appearance in groomed beds devoted to other species are pulled.
		Today hemlock is prominent on the north-facing slope of this slight ravine, and all the Torreya specimens (intentionally planted, as well as planted by squirrels) occur and are thriving on the south-facing slope.
