Unity Theratre's Nixon's Nixon

Unity Theatre in Brenham, Texas

presents

Studio Series

a political satire by Russell Lees

Nixon's Nixon

October 25- November 4, 2012

On the night before President Nixon is to announce his resignation 

he summons Secretary of State Henry Kissinger to the Lincoln Sitting Room.  

These two larger than life characters wrestle with the history as they try to manipulate each other, reenact scenes of their political triumphs 

and ultimately, 

devise a dizzying and doomed plot to keep Nixon in office.

Unique Elegance of Cottage Gardens at The Brenham House

Unique Elegance of Cottage Gardens

Cottage gardens are informal gardens with dense plantings that are highly individualistic.  English in origin the cottage gardens use grace and charm rather than formal structure.  Many times there is a rose-bowered arbor entrance. These gardens give the homes such romantic appeal.

The Brenham House uses old-fashioned plants and varieties such as antique roses, native plants, herbs, and self-sowing perennials

which come back year after year.

As the years go by cottage gardens become very dense.

These gardens surround The Brenham House.

Porte Couteaux

Many of our guests ask about our knife rests that we use at The Brenham House.

 Porte couteau is French for knife rest.

Porte couteaux of French for knife rests.  

  They were created in the late 17 or 18th century.

They were invented to save the knife, fork, and tablecloth from being stained.

Later in the Victorian age the knife rests were made in sets.

Americans today collect different ones to make the table setting interesting.

They are often made of crystal, gold, silver, mother of pearl, and ivory.  You may have seen them while out antique shopping and never knew what they were!

Very handy to save your knife for a second course and to keep the table cloth from being stained!  Great Idea!
