General
The garden was designed by Thomas Church with a major alee that carries the visitor to the far end of the garden. The design for the gardens is considered a rare example of Church's early work. Original brick terraces and paths still exist, along with the 1935 Wisteria pergola. A more recent addition is the Japanese garden with a tea house and koi pond.
Persons and organizations associated with the property: Mr. and Mrs. Wellington Henderson (former owners, 1935-1955); Mr. and Mrs. William Hanna (former owners, 1955-1972); Count Mark de Tristan (former owner, 1972-1987); and Thomas Church (garden designer).
