Mr. Eastman (1854–1932) built his home at 900 East Avenue, Rochester, NY. Construction began in April 1903, and was completed in 1905.
George Eastman House International Museum of Photography and Film is the full name of the museum.
The mansion is 35,000 square feet, with 50 rooms, 15 bedrooms, 9 fireplaces and 13 baths. Mr. Eastman initially purchased 8.5 acres, but added 2 acres during his occupancy. It is currently 10.5 acres at this time.
The Museum’s mission from the outset was to collect, preserve, and present the history of photography and film.

I wonder if he is rolling over in his grave because you used a digital camera….. Nice photo.
LocustFurnace replied
Thanks Craig!
I don’t think he would for the digital camera, since Kodak did do a lot of the first digital camera work. But I think he’d roll knowing I photographed his house using a Nikon and a Canon!

Well I have to laugh at what you and my son had to say, and then put this in my favorites. A beautiful job again!

I used a Kodak digital to capture My perspective of the house…perhaps it’ll grant me an extra Christmas present. Heh.
Love my Nikon/Canon heretic anyway.

Eirie with the light and clouds. Great shot.
LocustFurnace replied
Thanks a lot!
The clouds and lighting are the results of the HDR process.

Makes me wonder how he came up with Kodak, whether the letters stand for something.
LocustFurnace replied
From what I read, he liked the letter “K” and the rest is just letters. It was not meant to stand for anything.
