Scope and Contents:
The folder includes a worksheet, site plans, plant lists, and a photocopy of an article about the garden.
General:
This garden is composed of two parts: an upper garden and a lower garden. The lower garden is a Japanese garden enclosed by a high brick wall. A small stream framed with plants winds through the lawn in view of the house. It originates from a natural spring on the upper level, forming a waterfall as it fills the pool below. The pool is surrounded by a rockery planted with azaleas, dwarf Japanese maples, and pine trees. A Colorado spruce cascades over the waterfall. In the spring the upper level is a mass of blooming daffodils and narcissus bulbs. These give way later to flowering rhododendrons, azaleas, etc., which are planted in beds surrounding the lawn. On either side of the upper lawn are native trees and shrubs, such as elms and huckleberry. A pink dogwood and Prunus dominate this part of the garden in the fall.
Persons associated with the garden include: Mr. and Mrs. Robert Popin Greer (former owners, 1913-1954); Otto Holmdahl (landscape gardener, 1930); Oliver Ester (landscape gardener, 1950-1960); John Kenyon (landscape gardener, 1950-1960); Ossie Ohata (gardener, 1960-1990); and Don Asalton (gardener, 1993 to date).

General:
The mansion consists of two parts--the first built in 1764 by Dr. Thomas Walker and the second in 1824 by Senator and Mrs. William Cabell Rives. An hour-glass lawn and giant boxwood hedges make up a part of the landscape. Garden "rooms" were also created. In 1930, the landscape was described as "a great square, bounded on the north side by a high brick wall against which stand fig bushes, and enclosed on the other three sides by a Colonial arrowhead picket-fence. The garden lies in four deep terraces." (Potts 1930) The estate was open to the public from 1972 until ca. 1990. About ten years later the house was sold separate from the property. The house was subsequently moved off its foundations to a different location.
Persons associated with the property include: Dr. Thomas Walker (former owner, 1764); Senator and Mrs. William Cabell Rives (former owners, 1864); Col. Alfred Landon Rives (former owner); Amelie Rives (former owner); Col. and Mrs. Clark J.

General:
This ¾ acre property was built in 1939 and had three separate owners before the current owners purchased the home and established the garden in 2004. When the current owners purchased the property, the design of the garden was formal and traditional. There was no foundation planning so they planted all of the existing hedges, boxwoods, and foundation shrubs. There were originally Asiatic jasmine, trumpet vine, and Virginia creeper scattered across the property, but the they avoided cutting these off of the pine tree in the perennial bed after arborists informed them of their integral role in supporting the tree. They built and installed all the hardscape across sixteen months, having to first clear the property around the house. George Betsill designed the landscaping and hardscaping while Robert Kennedy designed the architectural additions to the home. Ruth Lacie was responsible for the design of the perennial beds.
The main architectural features are the flagstone terrace with outdoor seating, a brick covered fireplace, a toolshed constructed of repurposed brick, and the brick walkway shaded by trees and lined with copper outdoor lighting. Flagstone stepping stone paths connect each structure on the property. During renovation, the current owners used old bricks that matched the original bricks used for the home to construct the toolshed and extension to the house. A gate next to the shed is surrounded by trained tea olive. The main garden (Nanny's Garden) and seating area includes teak outdoor furniture, a concrete birdbath made by the owner's grandfather for his wife, and black wooden double doors that match the entry door. The perennial bed near the greenhouse features hydrangeas, hostas, and lenten roses. A variety of camellias, including a tall Sasanqua with pink buds, remain from the original owner's plantings. There is an extensive use of boxwood for foundation planting and edging. There are several roses trained on trellises and metal obelisks along the house exterior walls. The large oak on the property was removed in 2020.
Persons associated with the garden include: Mr. And Mrs. Richard Shafto (former owners, 1939 – 1960); Mr. And Mrs. George Dial (former owners, 1960 – 1974); Mr. And Mrs. Dan Hollin (former owners, 1974 – 2004); E. Robertson Kibler (owner, 2004 – present); George Betsill (landscape architect, 2004 – 2017); Ruth Lacey (landscaper and garden designer, 2004 – 2015) Elizabeth Kibler (owner, 2004 – present).

General:
This 5.3 acre property was purchased by the current owners in in 1997. It is defined by its naturally wooded and rocky landscape surrounding a 1929 stone house. Built by two sons of the American Impressionist painter John Henry Twachtman, J. Alden and Quentin Twachtman situated the house atop a rocky promontory overlooking the pond and property below. The gardens were designed to purposely look informal, as if they were natural fixtures in the landscape. Stone is used throughout the gardens in the construction of terraces, archways, retaining walls, and steps. The landscape of the property features dramatic land elevations, a rock outcropping that sits 215 feet above sea level, an open lawn, mature ash, maple, beech and oak trees, mossy areas, and woodland gardens.
A stone archway at the western end of the house leads to the pack patio. The patio area features a view of the pond, a focal point of the property. From the western side of the patio, a stream bordered by natural stone dips beneath the grass and flows into the pond. At the lower end of the stream, a hand cut stone footbridge leads across to a set of antique wrought iron garden chairs that sit naturally amongst the rock outcropping. A rustic wooden gazebo is perched on a ledge above the stream and is defined with climbing hydrangeas. Terraced steps from the western end of the patio lead down to the pool, pool house, patio, and small perennial garden. The pool area also features a fountain centered on the retaining wall. Beyond the pool area is a semicircular terraced lawn defined by a low stone wall. The open lawn features a perennial border to the north, planted with a variety of boxwood, dahlias, and peonies. The property includes water features such as waterfalls amongst the rock outcroppings beneath either side of the patio. The water cascades down the terraced ledge and into the pond, which also recirculates the fountains' water. Stone and mulch pathways throughout the property allow access to each of the garden rooms. Looking north from the primula garden, a trio of granite steps lead to the upper lawn.
The hillside behind the pool area is planted with lace cap hydrangeas, azaleas, mountain laurels and dogwood trees, and bordered with boxwood. To the right of the upper lawn is a hillside planted with azaleas, hostas, astilbe, and rhododendrons. The canopy of maple, oak, and ash trees provide shade for the plants below. Surrounding a clearing on the property is a collection of native shrubs, with raven sculptures by Peter Woytek integrated into the woodland area. The area at the edge of the pond features Candelabra primulas, iris, foxgloves, sweet woodruff, hostas, and cinnamon. An informally landscaped rocky hillside filled with rhododendrons, azaleas, foxgloves, columbine, hydrangeas, and pachysandras is nestled under the canopy of maple, oak, and tulip trees.
Persons associated with the garden include: Estate of William Rockefeller (former owner, until 1927); Mr. And Mrs. William B. Harrison, Jr. (former owner, 1997-present); C. Powers Taylor (landscape designer, 1997-1998); Susan Cohen Landscape Architect; (pool and fountain designer, 2002); Tim Patterson, High Land Design Gardens (landscape designer, early 2000s); Gunner Peterson, Peterson Landscaping (gardener, 2013); Carlos Serna (property caretaker, 1997-present).
Susan Cohen designed the pool and fountain.

Date:
1906-1913
Scope and Contents:
Alabama-English, 2433 typed cards in 2 boxes; English-Alabama, approximately 3000 typed and autograph A. cards in 2 boxes. Includes terms written in pencil and marked "(K)," which may be terms in Koasati. Informants are Harden Sylestine and others.
Swanton's arrangement of the Alabama-English section is generally alphabetical, with many terms grouped together by stesm. The cards have been stamped with consecutive numbers 1-2433, and Swanton's order has been preserved. Cards that had been clipped together now have a second number, beginning with 1 for the first in a clipped group (e.g., if cards 25-27 were found clipped together, they would now be numbered 25-1, 26-2, 27-3).
The Alabama-English section (with sequentially numbered cards) contains utterances identifiable by a following number in parentheses. If the number does not begin with zero, apparently if refers to Swanton's page numbers in his rough field notes (M 4151 "second set"). Numbers beginning with zero seem to refer to the"first set," MS 4151-- Karen Lupardus, August 18, 1978.
Biographical / Historical:
The note by Swanton preceding Alabama-English section reads? "The material marked (H) was furnished by an Alabama Indian, Harden Sylestine, who translated in his own way. His translation is usually preserved lest a mistake be made in altering; the material is to be corrected later. This includes all of my Alabama material except 12 pages of text by native informants and a vocabulary which for the most part duplicates what has been given."
