Cuneo Museum and Gardens
Cuneo Museum and Gardens Review
Samuel Insull, partner of Thomas Edison and founder of Commonwealth Edison, built a mansion in 1916 as a country home. After Insull lost his fortune, John Cuneo Sr., the printing-press magnate, bought the estate and fashioned it into something far more spectacular. The skylighted great hall in the main house resembles the open central courtyard of an Italian palazzo; the private family chapel has stained-glass windows; and a gilded grand piano graces the ballroom. The house is filled with antiques, porcelains, 17th-century Flemish tapestries, and Italian paintings.
