Alfred Lunt: Ten Chimneys
built 202 days ago
Lunt, who was born in the Genesee Depot area (Fontanne was born and raised in London), used money he had inherited to build the estate in 1915. Named for the retreat's 10 chimneys, the property was built around a main house with 18 rooms, a creamery, a greenhouse, stables, a Swedish log cabin, a pool and a 10-room cottage.

Seventy-five years ago, the most revered acting team in American theatre, Alfred Lunt and Lynn Fontanne, conjured up a haven called Ten Chimneys. It's an idyllic retreat that inspired the country's finest actors and artists.

Some pleasant July evening, if the psychic vibrations are right, Alfred and Lynn may yet come back to visit Ten Chimneys for a final time. And if they do, you can bet that the thing that pleases them most will be the fact that that drip drips no longer.

Ten Chimneys opened to the public last year on May 26, the Lunt and Fontanne wedding anniversary. Tours of the historic house and grounds — conducted seasonally - are expected to attract upward of 20,000 visitors annually.
