Originally designed in 1929 by Ethelbert E. Furlong, this two-acre garden incorporates a second Furlong design dating from 1967. The English Tudor style house is set among tall trees and shrubs and the overall site is little changed from the original design. The pool area is especially appealing.
Persons associated with the garden include: Henry G. Reter, III (former owner, 1927-1965?); Paul M. Hesser, Jr. (architect, 1927); and Ethelbert E. Furlong (landscape architect, 1929 and 1967).
