High above the broad valley of the Mississippi reposes an expansive and indestructible mansion. The view it possesses is extraordinary. In autumn the valley blazes with gilded trees‚ swept with scarlet. The winter’s display is scarcely less lovely‚ for the valley’s forest is wrapped in the finest lace‚ while in the spring and summer‚ it alive with song. Along the brim of the valley lies Summit Avenue‚ lined with a collection of the stateliest homes in the Mid-west. But the grandest of them all
