"The Swan House, built in 1928 by architect Philip Trammell Shutze, showcases a blend of Italianate and art deco classicism. Interior decorator Ruby Ross Wood added whimsical touches to the house, including a kinetic marble floor and a floating staircase. Notable features include giltwood and gesso consoles depicting swans, Georgian plasterwork, and a Directoire bathroom with golden stars on a painted sky." - Hamish Bowles
