Each successive owner has added to the beauty of the house and its surroundings and contents and little that was best in it has ever been removed or destroyed.
EDITOR’S Note: What we largely lack in this country is proper respect for tradition. We tear down the most beautiful examples of our early architecture, and we build in their places the most blatant types of architecture. Our historical landmarks are disappearing, until today it is only those of most dramatic historic importance that remain.
Few men in this country have today the heritage of a past that finds its setting in one of these fine old landmarks. Few know the feeling of pride of birth, of long ancestry spent amidst such dignified surroundings. And when it is possible to combine this heritage with the means to perpetuate it, the modern tendencies of daily living seem to dull appreciation.
To own, venerate and care for a house like Montgomery Place, is to achieve the very highest desires of man or woman who clings to the traditions of this country and finds in a dignified retirement the compensations of a well spent life.
