An ironwork gate, furniture, and lead garden features add interest to the space. Thirty-five year old dwarf conifers were placed int he rock garden with many evergreen and flowering shrubs.
Persons and firms associated with the property include: Mrs. Lillian Schutt Armbrecht (former owner, 1938-1948); Wallace Landscape Services; James Buckler (gardener); and Paul Meyer (gardener).
