General note
This was a five-acre summer home site along the shore of Buzzard's Bay and was famous for its roses and perennial plantings. In addition, the garden featured a mixture of colorful annuals such as petunias, zinnias, pinks, and alyssum. Statuary, including a cigar-store type Indian figure (now at Heritage Plantation in Sandwich, MA), complemented the garden designs of Umberto Innocenti and Herbert J. Kellaway. Development of the rose garden occurred in the 1930s; the house was torn down in 1971.
Persons associated with the property include: Mrs. Scherer (former owner, 1894); Mr. and Mrs. Edwin Sibley Webster (former owners, 1902-1971); Herbert J. Kellaway (landscape designer); Harriett R. Foote (horticulturist); Umberto Innocenti (landscape architect); and Innocenti and Webel (landscape architects).
