Part 6/11:
Olmsted's concept materialized into a carefully planned landscape that balanced agriculture, forestry, and leisure. About two-thirds of the estate was dedicated to working farmland, with rows of trees, managed woodlands, and scenic roads winding through the terrain.
The infrastructure included:
Barns, stables, and livestock housing, such as a large dairy barn with soaring ceilings and extensive facilities for animal husbandry.
Horse-drawn carriage sheds, workspaces, and machine rooms, all designed with efficiency and aesthetic beauty.
Extensive greenhouses covering over three acres, supporting advanced horticultural endeavors and plant cultivation.
