In 1987, the owners were advised by representatives of The Smithsonian Institute that The Pergola (with its original furniture intact) is only one of two structures like it still in existence in the United States. The Smithsonian requested to purchase & move the entire structure to their Washington, DC museum. The owners declined the offer but did agree to have renderings & replicas of The Pergola & furniture made for their archives.

This entertaining area is fabulous! The pool is bordered by dual His & Hers Pool House, equipped for showers & toilets for ease of access from transitioning from poolside to The Pergola for refreshments, lounging & entertainment.
