New Canaan -- Maxwell Garden

Object Details

General: It is possible that this was the garden of Harriet Maxwell of Oenoke Lane in New Canaan, designed by Friede Stege in 1965. The design featured a covered patio with outdoor seating looking onto a tree-bordered lawn area. Another feature was a traditional picket fence and arbor with climbing roses. Because the garden's identity isn't absolutely certain, the images have been assigned a broad date span, although it is likely that they were taken in the late 1960s.; Persons associated with the garden include Friede Stege (landscape architect, 1965) and Harriet Maxwell (former owner, ca. 1965-?).

Place: Maxwell Garden (New Canaan, Connecticut); United States of America -- Connecticut -- Fairfield County -- New Canaan
