IN THE GARDEN OF 
JAMES PARMELEE, Esq. 
Washington, D. C. 
CHARLES A. PLATT, Architect 
Photographs by Gillies 
The feathery foliage of arbor vitaes and the 
richer green of boxwood hedging 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 grotind. 
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 shad- 
oivs are cast by the projecting bricks in the wall, which are 
regularly arranged
