IL The plan of the place. The arrangement of the property (which is in New York) is 

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

 professional landscape architect.
