General
Thomas W. Sears took the photographs of this property in the early spring of 1911, as indicated in the album, which includes prints of all 14 negatives. They appear to show the site and its new house prior to any landscaping installation, aside from a few trees. Some demarcation of walkways and what may have been garden outlines is in evidence. Charles F. R. Ogilby, Jr., was a prominent Washington, DC, attorney.
Persons and firms associated with the garden include Charles F. R. Ogilby, Jr., and Elizabeth F. Hoehling Ogilby (former owners, circa 1911-1950); Arthur B. Heaton (architect, 1911); and Thomas W. Sears (landscape architect and photographer, 1911).
