点评:We visited this house in September, so it was still open until 5 pm. In October, it will close at 4 pm. We entered the carriage house located at the southeast corner of the property to purchase our entry tickets to the mansion. Two other couples had recently arrived and the employee had just started the introductory video that explained the history of Mr Flavel and the construction of the home. It was helpful to watch the video before taking the self-guided tour through the first two levels of the home. The upper level (attic) and the turret were not open to the public. The home is still the largest home in Astoria. The home is beautifully furnished with period antiques. You can enter some rooms while others are roped off and you can only look into the room from the doorway. Each room has a placard with information about the room’s use by the Flavel’s.
翻译:我们在九月份参观了这座宅邸,当时它仍然开放至下午5点。十月份则会在下午4点关闭。我们走进位于庄园东南角的马厩建筑内,购买参观宅邸的门票。当时还有另外两对情侣刚刚抵达,工作人员也刚刚开始播放介绍视频,讲解弗拉维尔先生的生平以及这座宅邸的建造历史。在自行参观住宅的前两层之前观看视频很有帮助。上层(阁楼)和塔楼则不对公众开放。这座住宅至今仍是阿斯托里亚地区最大的住宅。屋内陈设着大量具有时代特色的古董家具,十分精美。有些房间可以进入,而另一些则用绳子隔离起来,只能从门口往里看看。每个房间都有一块铭牌,上面介绍了弗拉维尔一家当时在该房间中的用途。
