synopsis

Olmsted Brothers drew complete landscape plans for this Cliff Avenue residence in 1910-1911. J.F. Dawson’s cost-conscious design featured a graceful loop drive, pergola-edged geometric flower parterres, a terrace extending the length of the house and beyond, lawns and planting beds strategically placed to screen the perimeter and a large service yard.

The Cutter-designed house, drive, fence and portions of the plantings were completed, but were subsequently destroyed for construction of a new road that cut through the property.
