Travel Documents

A 1915 passport held by Meyer Franklin Kline, the wealthy travel writer who resided at the mansion between 1920 and 1939. A dedicated round-the-world traveller, his trip took him from the US to London and onwards to Scandinavia in an effort to avoid transiting war-torn central Europe en route to Russia and overland to Japan.
