PROBLEM XV 



A Hillside Property in a New England Town, by 



Prentice Sanger, Landscape Architect, 



New York City 



This property is Iqcated at Fitchburg, Mass. Its dimensions 

 are 300 x 600 feet 



THE sharp and peculiar double tilt of the prop- 

 erty to the south and to the west, the dis- 

 tant view of the hills to the southwest, and the 

 position of house and barn were the conditions 

 which determined the solution of this problem. 

 The demand for a garden on the south side 

 necessitated an arrangement of terraces to suit 

 the steep slope and the northern position of the 

 kitchen wing and of the new garage placed on the 

 barn foundations determined the rearrangement 

 of the drive. 



A "home-ground" is an organism in which the 

 subdivisions, while serving their own peculiar 

 functions, are united into one harmonious whole.
