This #MuseumMonday, we're taking a closer look at the Stone House’s South Veranda ceiling. At first glance, the Stone House reads as pure Mediterranean Revival, but its details reveal a rich blend of influences. Crafted in 1922 by Bahamian artisans, this stunning shell mosaic transforms a breezeway into a textured work of art. Sea biscuits, coral, and shells are carefully arranged in cement, radiating in perfect symmetry from a central point. It’s a beautiful example of how the Deering Estate’s architecture pairs Mediterranean Revival design with local craftsmanship.

The Stone House is currently undergoing a careful restoration, and we invite you to learn more about these preservation efforts by visiting our website at https://deeringestate.org/stone-house-restoration-project/
