General

Persons associated with the garden include: Frederic H. Humphreys and Louise A. Parker Humphreys (former owners) and Brinley and Holbrook (landscape architect).
"At Ridgewood Hill the planting is for spring and autumn bloom, and its three-terraced garden is an excellent piece of work, nestling to the hillside with its vista of hills beyond. This lovely nook deserves to rank among the best in terraced gardens."
