Bellevue was a Big House, now gone. GeoHive OSI 25", I think all the crosshatched buildings are glasshouses.

A google maps aerial view shows the walls standing, but the glass is all gone.

Many entries in the DIA including a 264 ft range of conservatories in 1796, for Peter La Touche.

" ... a 650-feet conservatory, which would house many exotic plants as well as an orangery, a cherry house, a peach house and a vinery. Completed in 1793, this magnificent creation was then the largest conservatory in Europe. ..." From www.greystonesguide.ie/requiem-for-the-big-house-on-the-h... - includes a YouTube video of a walk around the grounds with locals holding a copy of this photo.

Ha ha! Beautiful gardens were laid out with winding paths and "extras" built by David and his son, Peter, when he inherited in 1785. Among these was the Octagon, built in 1766, with a panther on springs, which could be made to jump out at unwary visitors. The house was most famous for its huge glasshouse, built between 1783 and 1793, in which many exotic plants were grown.

Backlit! Difficult exposure. Cumbersome process.. A far cry from a digital snapshot.

Beautiful wistful image. I imagine her dreaming, in a quiet moment, of the boy she wished she'd married for love, instead of money...

Its Spring time, Hyacinth's in the window, it has a lovely faded light to it. She is sad I think.

Helen Keller was the first deaf and blind person to graduate from college. She began writing when she was 11 years old! She was an extreme socialist and her political views were very influential.

the 1913 International Flower show related to these photos was held at the Grand central palace. Unfortunately the building was demolished and I can't find any record of the eagles. The International Flower Show, co-sponsored with the New York Florist’s Club, was the grandest of the shows produced by The Horticultural Society. It was held at Grand Central Palace from 1913 to 1953 and later at The New York Coliseum through 1970. www.hsny.org/about_history.html
