Over the years Norman transformed his estate, adding classical colonnades and a Roman courtyard to the house, and sculpting nymphs, satyrs and fountains to embellish the grounds. In the Etching Studio, built in 1913, Norman and Rose completed over 11,000 etchings which were sold world-wide. The main Painting Studio was constructed in 1918.
