Relationship to surroundings

This large park-like estate is sequestered behind a high stone wall which insulates it from the moderately-dense residential development along the adjacent streets. From within the estate, dramatic views of East Rock to the east allow the visitor to forget that a major four-lane road is located just outside the walls on the east border of the property.
