IN THE GARDEN OF 



JAMES PARMELEE, Esq. 



WASHINGTON, D. C. 



QHARLES A. Y'L ATT, Architect 



Mrs. ELLEN SHIPMAN, Landscape Architect 



The feathery foliage of arborvitaes and the 



richer green of boxwood edging stand out 



in marked contrast to the lines and color of 



the brick and cement wall 



Approaching the garden from the side, five 



steps lead down from the higher ground. 



From them the axial walk leads to a pool and 



fountain in the center 



Save for the rough flagged smaller pathways, it is a brick walked and 

 brick walled garden. Pleasantly relieving shadows are cast by the pro- 

 jecting bricks in the wall, which are regularly arranged
