General

This property, whose garden is no longer in existence, was once owned by Mr and Mrs. James W. Cromwell. It is located on Beekman Road. Mrs. Cromwell was also a member of the Summit Garden Club and made her garden available for others to enjoy, according to the Visiting Gardens List from 1921 and 1925. The garden boasts of roses, hardy perennials and annuals, with fine flowering shrubs. The best blooms, it was noted, were during the summer months of June, July and August.
Persons associated with the garden include Mr. and Mrs. James W. Cromwell (former owners, circa 1921); Miss Anne Cromwell (former owner, circa 1925).
