On this place, the estate of Mrs. Robert Hager, Jr., the 

 problem was to plot the drives and planting so that the 

 service end of the house, which is on a lower level, could 

 be easily reached. A latticed forecourt solved the problem

A LATTICED FORECOURT 

 AT OYSTER BAY, L. I. 



PRENTICE SANGER, Landscape Architect 



The house stands on the brow of a hill 

 and behind it the land drops about 6' 

 below the level of the forecourt. This 

 accounts for the contour of the drives 

 and the arrangement of planting 



A direct route from the front drive to 

 the service door is gained by a path 

 that leads through an arched gate. 

 This is a charming glimpse of the gate 

 and its attendant shrubbery
