258. Touring Bellevue Avenue | Miramar

from Done & Dunne

In this episode we continue our tour through Newport, Rhode Island, looking at the last block of Bellevue Avenue with Miramar as our focus today. Completed in 1914, Eleanor Elkins Widener finished this grand Gilded Age home to honor her husband George Widener, lost on the R.M.S. Titanic in 1912. The Widener family is a big deal in high society, specifically Philadelphia, and although the couple never lived in their dream home together. Eleanor will keep the home in the family and marry again to Alexander Hamilton Rice Jr., living many happy days at Miramar. After passing from the Widener family, the home does serve as a school for a brief time, although it slides back into being a private residence soon enough. There is some late breaking news about this home which is great for museum loving folks – Miramar is slated in its future to become part of the Newport Preservation Society.

Join me daily and I'll guide you through a very simple and brief activity where I'll give you a couple affirmations, a question to ask yourself and quote, all designed particularly for the person whose goal is to live at 100%.

Screen Guild Theatre Digitally Restored zhaoguiwen This is the BEST Quality set of Screen Guild Theatre shows currently available ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD!! Yet it is not the most Complete.Nicholas Hans Gary：I have spent many years tracking down these shows from MANY difference sources (Official Cassette, LP Vinyl, Digital etc) and enhancing shows that are of lower caliber quality so as to try to remove muffling, overblown sharp highs, enhance vocals, tighten bass, clean audio, remove hiss, pops, normalize volume level throughout the entire episode etc. On every episode I also normalized the audio levels of audience clapping throughout the episode and loud music portions to be very close to that of the actual performance instead of 4-5 times the volume.ALL episodes in this collection are of what I consider Very Good audio quality, I have done my very best to find ALL available good q
