20. HISTORICAL AND ARCHITECTURAL IMPORTANCE:
This large house' is a good example of one type :of country
house built on the east end of Fishers Island. 'These estates
reflect various design trends that were popular during the
first part of the 20th century. Many, as seen in this example,
incorporate landscape designs that complement the naturalistic
qualities of the house. During the era of American country house
architecture in the early part of this century, the design
of the landscape was equally important as the design of the
house. On Fishers Island, these country houses retain a great
deal of historic landscape design.
