General
Based on a written notation in Molly Adams's hand, It is possible that the landscaping for this rural site was designed by Alice Recknagel Ireys, although this attribution has not been confirmed. The site was dominated by a swimming pool and a large house complemented by foundation planting and a flagstone patio with outdoor seating. Stone and brick walls, specimen trees, and shrubs completed the design. The exact location of the property is not known.
