A perfect distance from the house. The Tea House.
Abby Aldrich Rockefeller's home in Williamsburg, VA. She spent April/October here yearly.
The scale is exquisite.
Knowing a bit about the depth of her philanthropy the scale and sweetness of her home speak much of her character.
.
Her gardens are intelligent, potent in simplicity, narrative, formality, rusticity, line, axis, Nature.

Beautiful..I love Williamsburg gardens...and this tea house..ahhhh
Keep showing this great, timeless design. I can almost taste the biscuits, but I'll pass on the grits!
it's been many decades since I've been to W'burg but remember this beautiful house.
It has been over ten years since I have been but what a source of inspiration were those beautiful gardens!
