Ten Chimneys, Former actors residence in Genesee Depot, Wisconsin.
Ten Chimneys features a main house, guest cottages, and workshops spread across gardens and natural landscapes in the Wisconsin countryside.
Construction of Ten Chimneys began in 1915 when Alfred Lunt purchased three acres near Genesee Depot, starting with one large room and gallery staircases.
Broadway actors Alfred Lunt and Lynn Fontanne used Ten Chimneys as a creative retreat where they hosted fellow performers and theater professionals.
The estate provides guided tours from May through December, with advance reservations available by calling their visitor center at 262-968-4110.
The property includes a traditional hewn-log building that served as a rehearsal space where the Lunts practiced their theatrical performances.
