General note
"The house is immediately on the road, the lawn sloping upward behind it. Good landscape work has made of the natural contours and fine trees a place of beauty and interest. There are both formal and informal gardens and an al-fresco roof garden." (Garden Club of America, Twenty-fifth Annual Meeting Booklet)
Persons and organizations associated with the garden include: Mr. and Mrs. Isaac H. Clothier, Jr. (former owners. 1903-1964); Mr. and Mrs. Maynard Poole (former owners, 1964-?); Thomas W. Sears (landscape architect); Arthur Brockie (architect); and Wilson Eyre (architect).
