General:
Reynolda was the county house estate of the founder of R. J. Reynolds Tobacco Company, Robert Joshua Reynolds, and his wife, Katharine Smith Reynolds, comprising nearly 1,100 acres that included a 38,000 square foot house built for them by architect Charles Barton Keen. Reynolda was primarily conceived by Katharine Reynolds to include a family home with gardens, a village within the estate that housed the twenty families that worked on the self-contained estate, a 350-acre dairy, grain and vegetable farm, a 19-acre golf course with grazing sheep, and woodlands with thousands of daffodils. Before the house and formal gardens were built, Lord and Burnham constructed commercial greenhouses and a large glass conservatory on the property in 1913. Mrs. Reynolds decided to site a four-acre formal garden next to the greenhouses, near the public road, for the benefit of passersby. The first garden designers on the estate were Miller and Buckenham, and then Thomas Sears was brought in to design the viewable greenhouse garden, as well as gardens at the house and boathouse. The boathouse was sited beside the 16-acre artificial Lake Katharine created by Miller and Buckenham's stone-faced dam. The lake has since partially filled with silt and become a wetlands habitat.
Thomas Sears' 1917 formal greenhouse garden was divided into two rectangles, an approximately two-acre formal rose and perennial garden, and next to it another two-acre garden for fruit, flowers and vegetables. Grass panels that divided and surrounded the formal gardens were known as the sunken garden. The original rose garden was divided into four parterres, two planted with roses, one for blue and yellow flowers and the last for pink and white flowers. There were grass panels between the parterres with a double row of Japanese cedar trees on the horizontal axis. Rows of Japanese weeping cherry trees and southern magnolias were planted as a perimeter; later the trees shaded the rose garden to the extent that it had to be replanted when the garden was restored in 1997. Each axis of the two formal gardens ended in an attractive terminus, a feature of many of Sears' designs. These included pergolas and Japanese-styled teahouses for Katharine Reynolds, who wanted to include trees and features from Japanese gardens. Like the rose garden, the design of the fruit and vegetable garden was geometric with a central feature. At the time of its restoration, a large section of this garden was replanted with All-America selection roses, other flowers and herbs.
In the 1930's daughter Mary Reynolds Babcock and her stockbroker husband Charles Babcock bought her siblings' shares in the house and rehired Thomas Sears to redesign the gardens. Renovations to the house included moving the original central entrance to the side of the house, and new gardens were needed in front. A tulip and chrysanthemum garden was designed, with pink, white, blue and purple tulips and forget-me-nots complementing the colors of the new flagstone terrace. Summer flowers included heliotrope, plumbago, salvia, nicotiana, snapdragons and annual phlox, although heliotrope did not flourish in hot weather. Red, yellow, bronze, copper and terra cotta chrysanthemums were planted in autumn. Sears suggested poinsettias, camellias, chrysanthemums, gardenias and begonia semperflorens for a winter garden, but they were not winter hardy and were used for holiday decorations inside the house. Sears also designed a study garden in 1916, which comprises a patio with a recessed pool, stone benches and extensive plantings of rhododendrons and other flowering shrubs, a canopy of flowering magnolias, dogwood and crape myrtles, and an understory of ground covers, lilies, hosta, ferns and daffodils.
Reynolda is now the Reynolda House Museum of American Art. The gardens were donated to Wake Forest University in the 1960's by the Mary Reynolds Babcock Foundation.
Persons associated with this property include R.J. (Robert Joshua) Reynolds (c. 1850-1918) and Katharine Smith Reynolds Johnston (1880-1924) (former owners, 1909-1924); Mary Reynolds Babcock and Charles Babcock (former owners, 1935-1953); Wake Forest College, later University (owner beginning in 1958); Louis L. Miller and Horatio R. Buckenham (landscape designers, 1911-1913); Thomas Warren Sears (1880-1965) (landscape architect 1915-1917, 1930s); Robert Conrad (horticulturalist, c. 1910-1960); Charles Barton Keen (architect, 1912-1917).

Brush Hill Gardens (Washington, Connecticut)
United States of America -- Connecticut -- Litchfield County -- Washington
Scope and Contents:
The folder includes a worksheet, a garden plan, and a bibliography of articles and book references about the garden.
General:
Brush Hill Gardens have been evolving since 1971, the year when the owners first acquired and began to restore the 18th century farmhouse and barn. The garden began in the space defined by old stone walls between the house and barn and has been expanding ever since. Visitors enter the more formal part of the garden from the east through the garden gate next to an old Lord and Burnham greenhouse moved to the site from Pennsylvania. The first area is a moon garden, featuring a fountain and planted for foliage and texture in yellows and purples. Next, a rose walk of old shrub roses and climbers supported by a cedar-post arbor connects the house to the garden shed. Further along, the original garden space includes herbaceous borders, a peony border planted for spring interest with two "tors" that support clematis and other climbing vines (as well as two sprinkler heads), and a wheelbarrow garden planted for later season interest. To the west, the terraced serpentine garden, supported by stone walls, is planted in hot colors around a garden folly. Up the hill, the woodland arch leads to a developing woodland garden of rhododendrons, shade plants, and 14 cascading pools adorned with two bridges, one bright blue and the other yellow, where also lurks a grotto-like sculpted figure of Persephone by Simon Verity. The north-facing front of the house overlooks a pond created from an abandoned gravel quarry with its white wisteria-draped turquoise bridge. A separate well house in the field provides an additional water feature and a place to sit to survey the scene.
Persons associated with the property and garden include: Mary Ann Dayton (former owner, before 1883); Julius E. Clark (former owner, 1883-1892); Edward J. Thayer (former owner, 1892-1918); Elizabeth Barrett (former owner, 1918-1947); Hildegarde Shaw (former owner, 1947-1964); Lloyd Parker (former owner, 1964-1971); Harold Calverly (landscape designer, 1979); Wallace Gray (landscape designer, 1990); Wes Rouse (consultant, ongoing); Scott Loomis (gardener, ongoing); Steve Tabacinski (gardener, ongoing); and Gary Keim (horticulturist, ongoing).

Scope and Contents:
The folder includes drawing of the garden, garden description,articles, excerpts from books, lecture program, and brochure from The 1998 Chicago Flower and Garden Show.
General:
"The main entry of the garden is at the rear of the house due to the home's proximity to the busy street and the fact theat the house was once a farm house with much more property than what exists now. The old greenhouse (Lord and Burnham, c. 1900) was the New Trier High School's greenhouse (in Winnetka, Illinois) and was reassembled and attached to the home in the early 1960's. The two largest plantings in the garden include a Magnolia x soulangiana and an Acer platanoides 'Schwerdleri' assumed to have been planted in the early 1930's. It is a cottage style garden created by plantsmen. The garden is divided into many rooms based on the configuration of the building and adjoining the property."
"The garden began in 1986. It is planted in casual style with some formal elements. Stone ornaments are collected and use them as punctuation throughout the garden-often moved about to accent what is in bloom at the time. At the entry arbor are a collection of potted, unusual dwarf conifers which are overwintered at the nursery for safekeping. The plant collection at the gates emphasizes a restrained color palette and variegated foliage."
Craig Bergmann Landscape Design, Inc. was featured in The 1998 Chicago Flower and Garden Show. Their garden "The Wind in the Willow", won the Mayor's Trophy - Best of Show and the People's Choice Award. They also created gardens for the 1995 and 1996 Flower and Garden Shows."
Persons associated with the property include: Craig K. Bergmann (owner); James W. Grigsby (owner); Linda Oyama Bryan (photographer).

General:
In 1889, Lucius Horatio Biglow, a New York City music publisher, bought the property and expanded the colonial home with fine, landscaped grounds and fancy stone and iron walls. He called the place Graeloe. Biglow's daughter, Elizabeth Biglow Ballard donated the grounds to the town in 1964. Today, the park includes a playground, a bandstand, and the Ballard Greenhouse, used by the Ridgefield and Caudatowa Garden Clubs. According to a plaque in front of the structure, the gazebo was built in 1975 in memory of Ms. Ballard. The backland of the property has become Ballard Green, one of the town's housing for the elderly communities. Ballard Park consists of a series of small garden rooms in a large expanse of lawn, and is articulated by low growing shrubs and perennials and accented by mature shade trees. The garden is open to the public. Person(s) associated with the garden and property include(s): the Ridgefield Garden Club; Lucius Horatio Biglow (former owner, 1889); Elizabeth Biglow Ballard (donor); and town of Ridgefield (owner), Lord & Burnham (greenhouse manufacturer); Fletcher Steele (pergola designer).

General:
Postcard circa 1939-1990.
Harkness Memorial State Park focuses around "Eolia," the 200+ acre summer home of Edward S. and Mary Harkness. Built in 1906 and purchased by the Harknesses in 1907, the Roman Renaissance Revival-style mansion is complemented by an Italianate garden (also known as the West Garden) originally designed by the Boston firm of Brett & Hall. From about 1918 to the 1930s noted landscape architect Beatrix Jones Farrand transformed a tennis court into an Oriental garden (also known as the East Garden) to showcase the owners' collection of Chinese and Korean statuary. She also replanted the Italianate garden. When Mrs. Harkness died in 1950, the property was left to the State of Connecticut, which established it as a state park in 1952. An extensive renovation of the mansion and gardens began in 1996. Hardscaping, including four fountains and fencing, was restored or re-built to be compatible with the original specifications of the Brett & Hall and Farrand plans. Gardens were restored to their original planting designs with shrubs, trees, perennials and annuals. Persons and firms associated with the garden include: Edward S. and Mary Harkness (former owners, 1907-1950); Brett & Hall (landscape architects, ca. 1910); and Beatrix Jones Farrand (landscape architect, 1918-1930s).

Biographical / Historical:
It is likely that Julian Abele (1881-1950), one of the first prominent African American architects of the early twentieth century, should be credited for his design work on this project. Abele started working for Horace Trumbauer's all-white firm around 1902 after graduating from the University of Pennsylvania School of Architecture. Abele was sent by Trumbauer to study in Paris at one of the most prestigious art schools, the École, until 1906. He returned to work as the assistant to the firm's chief designer but was quickly promoted to chief designer in 1909. Between 1909 and Trumbauer's death in 1938, Abele worked on dozens, if not hundreds, of projects for the firm, predominately uncredited. Though it was custom at the time to attribute architectural designs to the head of the firm instead of the individual designers, it is notable that an early pioneering African American architect likely contributed to this project.

Summary:
The Untermyer Family Slide Collection includes 119 glass 35mm slides documenting the grounds of Samuel Untermyer's estate, Greystone. In addition to general garden views, the images depict architectural features, vistas from the property, and interior shots of Greystone's greenhouse. The slides are not captioned or dated. The photographer was Samuel Untermyer II, the grandson of Samuel Untermyer.
Biographical/Historical note:
Samuel Untermyer was born in 1858 in Lynchburg, Virginia, the son of German immigrants. Untermyer was a New York lawyer who began practicing law at 18 and was admitted to the bar in New York in 1879. He established himself as a corporation attorney and became known for corporate mergers and arranging financing for industries and real estate developments. His most famous merger was with Utah Copper Co. and the Nevada Consolidated Companies which created Bethlehem Steel. Untermyer purchased Greystone in 1899 at an auction of the estate of Samuel J. Tilden.

The first owner of Greystone was John Waring, a hat manufacturer, from Yonkers, New York. The house was named Greystone for the grey granite that was quarried nearby and used to construct the house. John Davis Hatch designed the residence.

Samuel J. Tilden, a lawyer and former governor of New York (1874-1876) and unsuccessful Presidential candidate against Rutherford B. Hayes (1876) bought Greystone for a summer residence in 1879. Tilden constructed a large greenhouse complex including a Lord & Burnham greenhouse. Tilden died in 1886 leaving the bulk of his estate to what was later to become the New York Public Library. His two nephews contested the will, and it took ten years to resolve the estate.

Untermyer owned Greystone from 1899-1940. He hired the architect Joseph H. Freelander to remodel the mansion. The estate was 150 acres and famous for its Beaux-Arts gardens designed by William Welles Bosworth. Bosworth's gardens included the Greek Garden; a long staircase, known as the Vista, with a Hudson River view; a rock garden with an overlook called the Eagle's Nest; and an Italian-style vegetable garden constructed as five large terraces. At Untermyer's death in 1940, the estate was divided and sixteen acres donated to the city of Yonkers as "Samuel Untermyer Park and Gardens."
