Hayward Garden (Franklin, Massachusetts)

United States of America -- Massachusetts -- Norfolk County -- Franklin

Scope and Contents note:

The folder includes worksheets and photocopies of an article and other information.

General note:

Oakwald is a Georgian Revival style brick mansion built circa 1921 by Harry Taft Hayward (b. 1868) on a seven acre parcel. The house is approached by a long drive bordered by an avenue of deciduous trees. The extensive garden had many formal planted beds connected by grass walkways. There were Georgian style high brick walls planted with vines and flagstone walkways. A tiled pool contained an antique fountain. There were rock gardens and a pond with small waterfalls.

The 12,570 square foot house, considered the most substantial in the district, is set back from the town common. Part of the original property is now owned by St. Mary's Church, which built St. Mary's School along Main Street frontage. The Craftsman/Tudor style garage on the property was built c. 1910 and is now owned by St. Mary's Church.

Harry Taft Hayward was a prominent businessman who owned several woolen and cotton mills in New England. His wife was Edith C. Wires (b. 1872).

Persons associated with the garden include Harry Taft Hayward and Edith C. Wires Hayward (former owners, 1920s).

Twyford (Islip, New York)

United States of America -- New York -- Suffolk County -- Islip

Scope and Contents:

The folders include work sheets, a 1963 description of the garden by Charles D. Webster, a garden plan, a map of the area, and a copy of an article about the property.

General:

Twyford was the home of Charles D. and Natalie Peters Webster on the south shore of Long Island. Although the entire property encompassed nearly 200 acres, the gardens, house, and outbuildings were confined to 10 acres, which in turn was part of a 30-acre tract of open fields, marshland, and woods. The Websters began gardening in 1936, when they moved to the late 19th-century house. Formal beds and paths and other designs were complemented by a greenhouse, potting house and tool shed, and an octagonal lathhouse. Other features included a swimming pool, extensive borders and planting of broad-leaved evergreens, lawns, a waterfowl pool, and a farmyard. The property was given by the Websters to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service in 1968 (with life tenancy). The house and other buildings were demolished in 2002 despite the efforts of several preservation groups to save them.

Persons and organizations associated with the property include: Charles D. Webster (former owner, d. 1998); Natalie Peters Webster (former owner); and Nelva M. Weber (landscape architect, c. 1960-1973).

Related Materials:

Twyford related holdings consist of 2 folders (18 35 mm. slides; 2 120 mm. slides; 29 photoprints; 143 negatives)

General:

This was one of two gardens belonging to Robert Edward and Ethel Halsey Blum that were photographed by Molly Adams (the other is NY969). Landscape architect Alice Recknagel Ireys played a major role in the garden's design over the years. A distinctive wisteria pergola complemented the Dutch Colonial style house, providing an elevated viewing platform over the rest of the garden. Extensive annual and perennial borders, substantial stone hardscaping, and a variety of specimen trees and shrubs completed the site.

Sheldon Garden (Boston, Massachusetts)

United States of America -- Massachusetts -- Suffolk County -- Boston

Scope and Contents:

The folder includes worksheets.

General:

Little is known about this garden. Like the Patten Garden (MA333000), the penciled notation "Boston" was written on the glassine sleeve enclosing the original negatives. Also like that garden, the spacious, wooded site depicted in the images does not seem typical of an urban location. An Asian flavor was given to the garden by its inclusion of a torii gate and what appear to be antique bronzes. Daylilies were the featured planting in both beds and borders, and the use of plant labels indicates that this was more than just a casual garden. Rhododendrons and other shrubs, trees, a variety of paths, and other features rounded off the garden's design. It is possible that the garden's owner appears in image MA334012 (not digitized).

14 photographic prints of locations in China, taken by the Geologist Bailey Willis in 1903-1904 during a Carnegie institution funded geological expedition through China. Scenes include pagodas at Wutaishan and Tang dynasty Nestorian monuments outside of Xi'an. Documentation is sparse, but the photographs appear to have been sent to Charles L. Freer by Willis in November of 1908. At the time, Freer was considering purchase of a modern replica of the Nestorian Stele. His examination of Willis' original photograph of the stele confirmed that the replica was not worth acquisition.

Biographical / Historical:

Bailey Willis (1857-1949) was a geological engineer who worked for the U.S. Geological Survey. He was born in New York and studied at Columbia University. Willis surveyed regions of Appalachia and the Northwestern U.S. He visited Mt. Rainier in 1882, and later contributed to its designation as a National Park. is publications on the region's geology garnered international attention from scientists. In 1903, he led an expedition funded by the Carnegie Institution to northern China, an area previously unexplored by geologists. In 1949, Willis published his recollections of the expedition in his book "Friendly China."

Scope and Contents:

Glass plate negatives taken by Chinese photographer Yü Tai for Charles Lang Freer during his journey to the cave temples of Longmen in Henan Province, and a subsequent trip to Hangzhou in Zhejiang Province between October 1910 and February 1911. Freer spent 2 weeks at Longmen, making extensive notes and photographs of the Buddhist sculptures. Many cave features have been subsequently damaged, destroyed, or pilfered, hence, many of the photographs are unique documents of earlier states. Other Henan Province locations depicted include Kaifeng, Gongxian, and Luoyang; Sites and monuments include the Iron Pagoda in Kaifeng; the Gongxian Buddhist cave temples, and Song Dynasty Imperial Tombs. Hangzhou sites include West Lake; Leifeng Pagoda; Lingyin Temple; Feilaifeng, and the tomb of Yue Fei. A small number of negatives appear to be copies from books or prints.
