Stony Brook has something to offer for everyone, novice and garden conisseur alike. There is a wide variety of flowering trees and evergreens at the entrance. After getting to the house one enters the formal herb garden. This area at the back of the house serves as a kitchen garden and offers views for the living room and other parts of the house. Behind the house is a barn next to a slightly overgrown meadow that is home to several different types of fruit trees. There is also a vegetable garden and 90 foot grape arbor which provides a heavy harvest every year.
Stony Brook also has a cutting garden and rose garden which provides roses for the house almost 6 months of the year. All the vegetables and annuals are started in house in the Stony Brook greenhouse, then moved outside to harden off in coldframes. The property also has a rejuvenated lilac allee, several functional wells, a swimming pool, tennis court and adjoining hillside rockgarden. Stony Brook is a true masterpiece. Copy of property plan.

Stony Brook has something to offer for everyone, novice and garden conisseur alike. There is a wide variety of flowering trees and evergreens at the entrance. After getting to the house one enters the formal herb garden. This area at the back of the house serves as a kitchen garden and offers views for the living room and other parts of the house. Behind the house is a barn next to a slightly overgrown meadow that is home to several different types of fruit trees. There is also a vegetable garden and 90 foot grape arbor which provides a heavy harvest every year.
Stony Brook also has a cutting garden and rose garden which provides roses for the house almost 6 months of the year. All the vegetables and annuals are started in house in the Stony Brook greenhouse, then moved outside to harden off in coldframes. The property also has a rejuvenated lilac allee, several functional wells, a swimming pool, tennis court and adjoining hillside rock garden. Stony Brook is a true masterpiece. Woodland gardens with perennial borders.

General:
The 4.79-acre property with a red brick Tudor influenced mansion built in 1913, and the grounds, were in disrepair in 1994 when the current owner gave it a name and began restorations. Mature trees including fruit trees were kept and augmented with more trees and shrubs in front of the house and in the center of the circular driveway. Many garden room designs were inspired by visits to gardens in England and Ireland, and garden features were acquired following visits to gardens in Europe and the American southwest. The owners added an outdoor kitchen to a patio with ornamental ironwork that had been built by the original owners in 1926. A nearby stone fireplace that is used year round was inspired by the outdoor fire pits in New Mexico. Three terraces or tiers divided by low stonewalls and new plantings connect the patio to the swimming pool. On the uppermost terrace there is a formal parterre garden with boxwood hedges and pincushion topiary. Grass walkways on the terraces are bordered by continuous blooms; lilies are favored and other perennials are added to extend bloom time. There is another patio with a hot tub, Adirondack chairs, and a stone lantern. A rustic arbor and stone steps lead to a lower garden and the vestigial Park River. The newest garden room close to the river is Asian-inspired, with Japanese cherry trees, dogwood, magnolia and weeping evergreen and a red painted footbridge over a stone 'river'.
On the north side of the property a restored former pony barn is used for storing garden tools. Nearby there is a new heated chicken house and vegetable garden with fruit trees enclosed by a white picket fence. A cutting garden with ironwork arches at each end has been added. Outside the kitchen there is a large herb garden, wall fountain on a gray fence, and a grape arbor on the site of a former dog pen. Other garden rooms include rose beds and a shade garden with hosta, fern, lily-of-the-valley and trillium. Flowering shrubs include lilac, mature rhododendron, and mountain laurel, the Connecticut state flower. There are extensive vines including eight varieties of clematis, three varieties of honeysuckle, trumpet vines and wisteria. Garden ornaments include a statue of Neptune next to the swimming pool, a tall angel on the patio near the outdoor kitchen, a large stone face set in one of the terraces, many planted containers and urns, and an armillary sphere.
Persons associated with the garden include: Charles A. and Ruth Cheney Goodwin (former owners, 1913-1953); Richard C. Levin (former owner, circa 1956-1970); W. Robert Lappin (former owner, 1970-1994); Benjamin Wistar Morris (1870-1944) (architect, 1913); Tony DiBatiste (gardener, circa 1913-1954).

The folder includes a worksheet with site plan, two summaries of interviews and one narrative reminiscence about the site and its history, a chronology of the history of the sawmill located on the site, photocopied narratives of the sawmill's history, copies of photographs of the site in the 1920s, 1930s, and 1940s, and photocopies of related correspondence.
General:
This 22-acre garden site consists of a series of informal gardens and natural areas in a rural setting. Development of the current garden dates only to 1991, but previous owners of the property contributed significantly to its overall design and plantings and to the preservation of the ca. 1840 farmhouse and the historic red sawmill that gives the property its name. Today, intimate spaces on changing levels around the house and conservatory, paved with local granite, feature tropical and half-hardy container plants and vines along with roses and perennials. Fieldstone steps and walls delineate specific areas. A curving sunny border below the house is backed by a stone wall topped with a picket fence. Drifts of spring bulbs are planted under trees, while sweeping lawns drop to the sawmill area, where native plants, wildflowers, and a wet garden border the millpond and waterways. To the southeast ferns outline a rustic grape arbor. A vista north of the house leads through the circle garden enclosed by mature evergreens to a shady glen.
Persons associated with the garden include: Captain Gideon Hollister, II (former owner, 1750-1803); Gideon Hollister (former owner, 1803-1844); Almon D. Galpin (former owner, 1844-1876); Edward Wallace Fenn (former owner, 1876-1926); Clarence L. Richmond (former owner, 1926-1936); Bonnell W.

The folder includes worksheets, historical images and additional documentation.
General:
Echo Lawn is located on a 6 acre parcel of land which was originally part of a 40 acre estate. The property has at its center an Italianate walled garden established in 1911 set within a wider naturalistic setting of the original landscaping of 1850-1860. This is set within a wider naturalistic landscaping of the original garden of 1850-1860. The National Register of Historic Places registration form completed for Echo Lawn, suggests that Echo Lawn's first period of design was influenced by landscape architect Andrew Jackson Downing and the architects Calvert Vaux and Frederick Clark Withers in their design of neighboring properties (Downing and Vaux at Algonac about 1851; Withers at Mornigside 1859). The 1911 design of the walled garden was developed by the artists Reynolds and Gifford Beal, brothers of the property owner at that time, Thaddeus Beal.
The original structure of the Italianate garden remains, defined by outer walls of fieldstone with cut bluestone topping. The terrace of flagstone and herringbone brick features a Neoclassical cast concrete balustrade from which a divided stone staircase circles around a small fountain as it leads down into the sunken walled garden with a large fountain at its center.
Historical accounts of the garden describe the walled garden as a less formal Italian garden with softer border plantings in contrast to the present hedges which frame the quadrants created by the garden's brick paths. Climbing roses and honeysuckle grew on the west wall, climbing hydrangea on the north wall, lilacs at the terrace, and ferns were planted at the center fountain.
To the north of the walled garden is a large lawn with views through specimen shade trees including locust, walnut, and maple to a peripheral border of native trees. This area originally featured a grape arbor and an allée of cherry trees which led to vegetable gardens and a pond. To the east of the walled garden, presently lawn with a low stone retaining wall and steps leading to the north lawn, was a pergola and rose arbor, beyond which a stream was dammed to form a pond featuring a moon bridge and a small island. To the south of the walled garden, now a lawn bordered by native trees, were fruit orchards and distant views of the hills beyond the Hudson River.
Echo Lawn was used as a filming location in the silent film, The Scales of Justice, released in 1914 by the Famous Players Film Company.
Persons associated with the garden include: George A. Elliott (former owner, ca. 1860-1880); Frank Gerard (builder, ca. 1850-1860); Mrs. Minnie Knowlton (former owner, 1880-1905); Thaddeus Beal (former owner, beginning 1905); Gifford Beal and (Alonzo) Reynolds Beal (garden designers, ca. 1911); and John and Mary Beal (former owners, to 1957).
