Architectural Influence
Several structures base their style on the villa. Architect Edward Lippincott Tilton designed the Hotel Colorado in Glenwood Springs, Colorado, in 1893. Philanthropist James H. Dooley had a mansion called Swannanoa built on Rockfish Gap, Virginia, in 1912.
The marble Medici lions by the stairs to the courtyard served as inspiration for Bernard Foucquet's bronze lions at Lejontrappan on the northern side of the Royal Palace in Stockholm in 1700-1704.

“I wish to reiterate all the reasons which [my predecessor] has presented in favor of the policy of maintaining a strong navy as the best conservator of our peace with other nations and the best means of securing respect for the assertion of our rights of the defense of our interests, and the exercise of our influence in international matters.”
