Frederick and his wife, Anne Mellon Sayen, scion of the renowned Philadelphia Mellon family, completed their home in Hamilton in 1912. The house was built in the "bungalow" style, a reflection of the Arts and Crafts movement that swept this country in the early 1900's.  Culturally, the movement was a dramatic rebellion against the formality and the excesses of the Victorian period, which made the Sayen's choice of interior design curious. Anne and Frederick chose to decorate the house with a strong Victorian-inspired motif, a definite break with the movement.   The home includes a large porch which has three walls of windows-- an interesting feature of bungalows. Due to the Tuberculosis epidemic and health philosophy of the times, many houses were built with "TB rooms" or sleeping porches that are completely surrounded by windows so that fresh, "healing" air can circulate freely. The Sayen House layout is a one and a half story structure consistent with the Arts and Crafts'  emphasis on  the horizontal, rather than multiple stories. The philosophy is very middle class in a contemporary sense-- without space for maids and servants. The House is open to the public annually on Mother's Day for the Sayen Gardens' Azalea Festival from 10 AM to 4 PM.
