General:
Walter L. Rapp designed a reproduction of a Colonial Williamsburg mansion in 1937. The original name for the house, "Knowthewaite," is Gaelic for "clearing on the hill". Rolling lawns end at woodlands. The owner described the overall design as casual, according to the GCA Annual Meeting publication in 1954. Perennial borders lead to a swimming pool. Landscape architect, Henry Fletcher Kenney, designed a terraced rose garden ca. 1954. The rose garden is dominated by a hexagonal tool house, a copy of one at Mt. Vernon. A small walled garden with greenhouse at one end lies off the morning room.
Persons associated with the property include: Henry Fletcher Kenney (landscape architect, 1954); Eleanor Christie (landscape architect, ?); Walter L. Rapp (architect, 1937); and Frederick Geier (former owner).

General:
Established in 1935, this garden owned by landscape architect Henry Fletcher Kenney. Features included an espaliered Magnolia grandiflora, cedars near the entrance, and a stream bank across the road. An enclosed herb and rose garden was located on the first terrace. A long path leads past the terraced pool to the woods. Kenney utilized ground covers, mulches, and deeply incorporated humus in order to conserve water. "Water for the pool area was rain-trapped in successive basins along the dry hillside cut and each downspout has its Chinese bathtub to catch every drop." Deep unheated pits were used for tender potted material. Below the parking area lie the vegetable and cutting gardens. (The Garden Club of America Annual Meeting, 1954, pp. 30-32). The garden was reported vanished in 1987.
Persons associated with the property include: Henry Fletcher Kenney (landscape architect, 1954).
