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.
