Inside Bloomfield

The mansion known as Bloomfield, , had been a largely intact example of a typical 1920s-era Main Line estate.

While the French Chateau-inspired house was designed by Horace Trumbauer, its equally magnificent interiors were decorated by Lucien Alavoine. Alavoine originated in Paris but worked extensively in the United States, often collaborating with Trumbauer.

When Bloomfield was recently up for sale, photographs of its impressive interior were used prominently in sales materials.
