Object Details
- General
- Originally designed in the 1960s, this garden is characterized by mature trees, resulting in a green, shady environment. In response to the growth of trees, ground cover and azaleas have replaced the original perennial beds. A brick patio and iron fence complement the plantings and provide a restful site for outdoor living. Interesting decorative elements, including a pre-Civil War armillary sphere, are also featured.
- Persons associated with the property include: T. C. Whitmarsh (owner, 1960s); Mr. and Mrs. John Roberts (former owners); and Edith Mason (designer). Another former owner is Westminster College, Fulton, Missouri.
