IN A PHILADELPHIA GARDEN 
Those who build in the vicinity of Philadel¬ 
phia are fortunate in having native ledge stone, 
which is used in walls and terraces, and 
which picturesquely combines its rough tex¬ 
ture and varied coloring with brick, cut stone 
or molded cement. In its affinity between 
material and style, this garden treatment is 
typical of the nice quality of balance between 
formality and informality attained in recent 
work by Philadelphia country house architects. 
The pavilion and bit of garden terrace, de¬ 
signed by Mellor, Meigs and Howe, and shown 
at the Architectural League, are in the garden 
of Francis S. Mcllhenny at Chestnut Hill
