The plan of the place. The arrangement of the property (which is in New Yorl 

 determined by an existing woodland to the left or southeast of the house and a nat 

 opening to the southwest of the house. The house is colonial, and the entire treatr 

 is one of considerable simplicity. Wild or woodland gardens have been developed to 

 right and left of the entrance, the latter or entrance lawns being left severely simple 

 plain in their treatment. To the rear of the house a turf terrace raised three steps al 

 the general grade of the lawn leads to a general lawn terminated by a small ga 

 exedra or teahouse with a fountain in its center, and to two shrub gardens fori 

 interesting and closed pockets of lawn. The stable and vegetable gardens are locate 

 the south of the house in a natural opening in the woodland. The design is made 

 professional landscape architect.
