Things that I learned at the Frick Mansion

1) Orchestrions are awesome. If he was right about anything, Tom Carnegie was right about this.

2) When rich Americans purchased exclusive, individually manufactured automobiles from Europe, those cars were imported along with a driver. This, as well, is awesome.

3) At least once, Frick hired musicians from the Pittsburgh Symphony to play music at a party at his house. They were hidden behind a screen of palms. Also awesome.
