Ponds at Foxhollow
Description
On the place of Mr Westinghouse, in Lenox, his groundskeeper was to recall, "I made 100 acres of lawn … it was the kind we liked in England – a velvet plain stretching to the horizon, unbroken, as far as possible, by paths, driveways shrubs, with perhaps only an occasional magnificent tree – an oak, an elm, or a great sycamore on it."
On the eastern brow of that velvet plain, commanding a view of Laurel Lake below and the Berkshire barrier below, stood ERSKINE PARK. Guarded by sentinel elms, its white turrets create the image of a wooden CAMELOT, a New England castle, a place of magical beauty.
century cottage that George Westinghouse, inventor and industrialist,built for his wife, Marguerite, the pleasures of which they were to share for the fleeting months of Berkshire summers until their deaths without heir in 1914, three months apart.
