Montclair -- Penick Garden
Object Details
- General
- This property, situated atop the First Watchung mountain, boasted striking views of the New York City skyline. Therefore, the owners wanted to preserve this visual asset. Lois Poinier designed a border to run along the brick wall separating the house and its patio from a broad expanse of lawn and the surrounding woodlands.
- Persons associated with the garden include Lois W. Poinier (garden designer) and John Dabney Penick and Eileen Clements Penick (former owners).
