Mount Airy: ties that bind

Article Abstract:

Mount Airy has served as a home to the Tayloe family since the 1750s. It is a remaining example of Georgian architecture in America. It underwent restoration in 1981, with the basic design still retained. Though a regal estate by all counts, the place is foremost a home for the Tayloes.
