Description

This webinar shares how the designer/landscape architect drew on the special considerations of the Arthur Ross Terrace and Garden's close proximity to Central Park including the historic nature of the Carnegie mansion. Moreover, this lecture also incorporated Richard Schermerhorn, Jr.’s unbuilt 1901 design plans for the garden.

Today, the most notable feature of the original Carnegie Mansion property is accessible to the public from the museum’s East 90th Street entrance and to museum visitors through the Taralucci e Vino Cafe.
