Abstract

Description

The Italian Garden located to the west of the main house was created shortly after the turn of the 20th century. In it may be seen the fruits of Kountze�s connoisseurship, with numerous sculptures culled from Italian villas along with architectural elements salvaged from several nineteenth century New York mansions ingeniously integrated into the garden, pergola, and revised west porch of the mansion to create a harmonious whole. He also employed a professional horticulturist who endowed the estate with avenues of trees and the fine collection of rare trees and shrubs, many of which continue to beautify the campus.
