We have been open to the public for 126 years this June. To celebrate our anniversary month, journey back to the 19th century through our visitorsâ book with Cronk Archivist Nicole Ioffredi.
Between 1876 to 1897, this book bore witness to guests including sculptor Auguste Rodin, the Prime Minister Benjamin Disraeli and American art collector Isabella Stewart Gardner.
Disraeli, writing under the title 1st Earl of Beaconsfield, captured the magic of our home perfectly: âThis palace of genius, fancy and tasteâ, he wrote when he visited in 1878.
