Njengoko uhambahamba kumhlaba weCranwell Resort, uhamba ngembali. Ukutyhubela iminyaka, uCranwell usebenze njengekhaya labanini-zindawo abazizityebi, abefundisi, ababhali, abafundi, abagadi begalufa kunye nabathandi benkcubeko eMassachusetts. Indawo esembindini wepropathi, kunye neembono zayo ezingaqhelekanga zeBerkshires, yindawo ephezulu yenduli yaseTudor, esele ilawule emaphandleni ngaphezulu kwenkulungwane. Imbali yeCranwell iqulethwe ngamabali amaninzi exesha elihle phakathi kuka-1880 no-1920 owaziwa ngokuba yi-Age Gilded.
Ngo-1853, uMfundisi uHenry Ward Beecher wathenga iBlossom Hill, apho imi khona ngoku iCranwell Mansion, nge $ 4,500. Wayezithanda izimvo esencotsheni yentaba kwaye ikule ndawo yokuma ukuba athi, "Ukusuka apha ndibona iinduli zaseZulwini". Ezi ziimbono ezinokubonwa namhlanje xa uhleli kwiRose Terrace ngorhatya apho imibhiyozo eyaziwayo yenzeka khona kwiminyaka eli-100 eyadlulayo. UMfundisi uBeecher wayesebenza kumabhinqa kunye neentshukumo zokulwa nobukhoboka. Wayeneminqweno kamongameli epheliswe yinto ehlekisayo, ke ngoko, kwashiyelwa udadewabo u-Harriet Beecher Stowe ukuba abanga udumo ngencwadi yakhe ethengiswa kakhulu yokulwa nobukhoboka, Uncle Tom's Cabin.
Jikelele uJohn F. Rathbone wathenga lo mhlaba eBeecher ngo-1869 waza waqalisa ukwakha ngokufudusa indlu ka-Beecher esecaleni kwentaba ukuze ikhaya lakhe elitsha libe nembono yolawulo lwamaphandle. Ikhaya alakhayo, iWyndhurst, lalilikhulu nangayiphi na imigangatho yosuku kwaye lalibekwe kwiihektare ezingama-380. Kwangelo xesha, ngasemva kwenduli, olunye usapho lwalusakha enye "indlu encinci" I-United States Naval Captain uJohn S. Barnes, iGosa leFlegi ye-North Atlantic Fleet ngexesha leMfazwe yamakhaya, wathenga umhlaba nge $ 10,000 ngo-1882 kwaye wamisa iColdbrooke ngoku eyaziwa njenge-Beecher's Cottage kunye nenxalenye yepropathi yaseCranwell.
UJohn Sloane, isizalwane se Vanderbilts kunye nomnini wenkampani eyaziwayo yefanitshala, u-W & J Sloane, waba ngumnini olandelayo wepropathi xa wayesakha indlu yakhe encinci ngo-1894. I-Wyndhurst, eyaphikisana nobukhulu kunye nobuhle bokuqala. Uye wayalela uFrederick Law Olmsted, umakhi wezakhiwo owaziwayo owadala iCentral Park yaseNew York ukuyila amabala.
Emva kokuba intombi ka-Sloane u-Evelyn athengise loo mali kwiqela labaphuhlisi baseFlorida ngo-1925, ipropathi yaqhutywa ngokufutshane njenge-Berkshire Hunt kunye ne-Country Club. U-Edward Cranwell emva koko wayithenga ngo-1930 kwaye kamva wayinikezela lo mhlaba kuMbutho ka Yesu wase-New England ngo-1939, ukuze ujikwe ube sisikolo sabucala samakhwenkwe athiywa ngegama lalo mntu wayenesisa. Emva kokusebenza iminyaka emininzi, isikolo siye sayeka ukuhla, savala iingcango zaso ngo-1975.
Namhlanje uCranwell, ngobuninzi bobukhulu bayo bokuqala obubuyiselweyo, uyaphumelela njengenkulumbuso yeholide-yamaxesha amane. Indawo yokuphumla inikezela ngamagumbi e-deluxe ali-114 akwisakhiwo ngasinye: uMsunguli weCottage, iOlmstead Manor, iBeecher's Cottage (eyayisaziwa ngokuba yiColdbrooke), kunye neMansion (eyayisakuba yiWyndhurst). ICranwell ikwalikhaya le-Spa ekumgangatho wehlabathi eCranwell, yenye yezona spa zikhulu eMantla mpuma. Ikhosi yegalufa yobuntshatsheli engama-18 kaCranwell yeyokuqala eyilwe nguStiles kunye noVan Cleek. Ebusika, ikhephu liguqula ikhosi ibe yiparadesi enqamleza ilizwe. Ukutya okumnandi kunikezelwa kwi-Wyndhurst yokuphumelela amabhaso kwi-Wyndhurst nakwiGumbi loMculo, ngelixa imali yokufumana imali engaqhelekanga inokufumaneka eTavern yaseSloane unyaka wonke. Unyaka nonyaka, njengoko iinkampani ezivela kwihlabathi liphela zihlangana apha ukuba zidibane, uCranwell udlala umnyhadala wemitshato yencwadi yamabali onke.
