Built at the turn of the century, the house that shelters the American Swedish Institute features wonderfully eclectic details and intriguing chateau-like architecture. Inside, ornamental plasterwork, festive tiling, and a magnificent staircase display Swedish style. The organization's goal is to preserve Swedish culture in the United States, and the institute plays host to a series of concerts, recitals, films, and lectures, along with courses and festivities ­ all linked to Swedish history. House tours are available.
