Thanks UphillDonkey.

I located the original source of the photograph, Travels With Two. ...

A commenter, one Agnes Gellen Szecsenyi, wrote this. . .

"I have been is this home many times. Margoux was my customer when I was altering her waste collection of vintage 1940- 50 costume collection for years, the home was just like Margaux herself. unbelievable! . I was allowed to take pictures inside and I will post them here, I know I tucked them away. from church seats what she purchased in South America taken apart and shipped here and built in the home and outside of course it was more than 20 years ago. everything was eccentric like Margo herself lived with a monkey and many dogs in that house. if she is still alive she is in her 70 -s now. she had a very interesting rich life."...Jan. 12, 2018
