   This is a wall facing what was once the Jazz age backyard pool in Winterthur. The decorative looking circles are actually the pavilions (horns) of a gramophone behind them sat a gramophone on a small table. Some anonymous servant would spin tunes by Fletcher Henderson, Paul Whitman and Duke Ellington while the DuPonts and their guests danced the Charleston and the Black Bottom. The large horns amplified the gramophone simply but effectively.

   F Scott Fitzgerald’s editor, Max Perkins, sent F Scott to Wilmington to hang out with the DuPonts for a while, because he thought the European flavor to life in Chateaux Country, and the patrician DuPonts would settle him down a bit.
