Place:
Tockington (Jenkintown, Pennsylvania)
United States of America -- Pennsylvania -- Montgomery County -- Jenkintown
Date:
[between 1914 and 1929]
General:
The land on which Tockington is built, is an original land grant from William Penn. The house was built as early as 1689 by John Worral, who named it "Tockington" from his wife's ancestral village in Wales. The garden was developed in 1740 with imported boxwood. In 1900, extensive repairs were made to the house, restoring the whole building to the colonial type of architecture. As of 1929, the box hedges remained and provided a background for wide perennial borders. Along the upper side of the garden, a rose walk was developed. Adjoining the flower garden laid a fruit garden. A woodland garden was added ca. 1925 to incorporate native wild flowers.
Persons associated with the garden include John Worral (former owner, 1689); and Mrs. William West Frazier, Jr. (former owner).
Mount reads: "Edward Van Altena, 71-79 W. 45th St., N.Y.C."
Historic plate number: "59."
Historic plate caption: "On label adhered to slide exterior: Tockington; Jenkintown, Pa. Image caption on glass: Pennslyvania; Tockington; Owned by Mrs.William West Frazier; Jenkintown."
Photographer attribution based on caption information in Portraits of Philadelphia Gardens (Dorrance and Company, 1929) p. 26 by Louise Bush-Brown and James Bush-Brown

Lane's End (Philadelphia, Pennsylvania)
United States of America -- Pennsylvania -- Philadelphia County -- Philadelphia
Date:
[between 1914 and 1949?]
General:
Lane's End was the home of Mrs. Samuel P. Rotan; and was built in 1928. The architect was Robert A. McGoodwin. The house was inspired by Sutton Place, an English Manor house built about 1550. The library was once in the house of Lord Bolingbroke and was the room in which Alexander Pope wrote much of his work including "Essay on Man."
The garden was thought to have been copied from Anne Boleyn's at Hampton Court. However, Anne's Bower was an allee of arched hornbeams on a terrace and not the sunken garden recreated at Lane's End. The garden is actually a replica of one of several formal gardens to the side of the palace near the Banqueting House that were redeveloped in the twentieth century.
Persons associated with the garden include: Mrs. Samuel P. Rotan (former owner, 1928); Mr. and Mrs. Wharton Sinkler (former owners); University of Pennsylvania (owner) and Robert A. McGoodwin (architect, 1928).
Historic plate number: "10A."
