General:
The Arbors is an enclosed garden, very formal in feeling. The land used is part of the side of a slope that has been formed into a series of brick terraces and brick walkways with flower borders. The wooden structures and elaborate brick work show Furlong's talent in creating a unique work of art. Brick walls surround a fountain with a Middle Eastern vase with water spout. On each side of the fountain are pruned boxwood. Most of the flower beds are planted with tulips of different colors. A group of earthenware jugs are placed on the first small wall to harmonize with the rustic feeling of the brick. The brick walls are covered in blue morning glories. A pond is fed by a stream of water and contains white water-lilies.

Scope and Contents:
The folder includes a worksheet and an abbreviated garden plan.
General:
This .75-acre garden incorporates design work by D. Clark and Ethelbert E. Furlong. Clark's original plan (ca. 1909) was for a front garden between the house and the street. In the late 1920s Furlong developed the back of the property as a secluded woodland retreat. From the terrace directly behind the house a stone path leads down a steep bank to the lower level. Also, a manmade brooklet runs down the bank amid stones to a large pool. A fireplace is on the lower level. Bordering the back property line is a small branch of a local river.
Persons associated with the garden include: D. Clark (landscape architect, 1909); Ethelbert E. Furlong (landscape architect, 1928); Dudley S. Van Antwerp (architect, early 1900s); and Lyster C. Reighly, II (former owner, 1920s-1930s).

General:
This beautiful walled garden, with a European feeling, gives privacy on a small corner lot. "The surounding walls were built up with reddish brown sandstone taken from demolished buildings. The coping that finished the low walss is machine-made bricks laid to form a toothlike patern of terracotta over the stone." ("A Garden of Orange") Majolica serves as decoration when the flowers have passed their months of blooming. Originally developed in the 1930s, the garden retains much of its original atmosphere. Although the garden is very formal in design, the addition of putti sitting on the walls gives a feeling of whimsey.
Persons associated with the garden include: William P. Breeding (former owner, 1930-?); and Ethelbert E. Furlong (landscape architect, 1930-1933).
