In his book on country estates, Knight wrote that, unlike many country homes that were "city mansions ... out of harmony with the rural environs, Baldwin's Hillcrest was suited to its setting. As he saw it, "a Maine farm house has been lifted up bodily and transplanted to the picturesque hills of Gates Mills." In fact, the Baldwins recreated many of the features of New England homes that they liked. | Date: 1903 | Source: Thomas A. Knight, The Country Estates of Cleveland Men (Cleveland: Thomas A.
