The mansion where ‘My Fair Lady’ was written is for sale

Rain in Spain remains mostly flat, but the antiques in this historic home tend to be blown away by the wind.

The Stamford, Connecticut abode where “My Fair Lady” was written will soon hit the market for about $2 million – and before it’s up for sale, it’s the site of a multi-day souvenir fair.

“The sale of the estate takes place in a historic home designed by architect Fraser Peters, where Alan Jay Lerner and Frederick Low wrote the musical My Fair Lady in the summer of 1955 while renting the property,” says interior designer and antique dealer Francis. Merante told The Post about the event, which began this Friday and will run until Sunday, January 29. (Specific hours and additional information are available on the event’s online listing.)

Lerner and Lowe’s stage musical was inspired by George Bernard Shaw’s 1913 play Pygmalion, and—after its success on Broadway—was made into a 1964 film adaptation of the same name, starring Audrey Hepburn as poor florist Eliza Doolittle.

According to Merante, “the original production’s set is actually based on the house’s floor plan.”

The stone house is due for sale after the weekend, the first time it will be up for sale in nearly half a century, as its current occupant, a woman named Jakki Peters, has owned it for nearly 40 years. “She filled it with antiques and decor items she collected while traveling the world and shopping at local antique stores in New York and Connecticut,” Merante said. “The sale includes many unique antiques including Chinese furniture, Victorian furniture and unique garden items from across the estate.”

The main house, as well as its remaining contents, a carriage house apartment, an on-site two-car garage and a 2008 Mini Cooper S, will be listed by Andrew Smith of Houlihan Lawrence as soon as it officially hits the market.
