View of the Coke-Garrett House taken from the garden by F.S. Lincoln in 1935. Once the eighteenth-century residence of silversmith John Coke, the house later became the home of the Garrett family in the nineteenth century. The garden features a combination of boxwood hedges, formal parterres, and shrubs. Brick paths laid out in geometric formations offer various vistas of the house, outbuildings, and garden ornaments.

Garden of the Carter-Saunders House
Robert Carter House (Williamsburg, Va.)
Gardens - Virginia - Williamsburg
Block 30. Building 13.
Hand-colored lantern slide featuring a photo of the formal garden behind the Robert Carter House, formerly known as the Carter-Saunders House, taken by F.S. Lincoln in 1935. It is the sixteenth slide in a set produced by the Pacific Stereopticon Co. of Los Angeles, California, now defunct, to illustrate the story of Dr. W.A.R. Goodwin's dream to restore a portion of Williamsburg, Virginia to its 18th-century appearance as a shrine to early American ideals.
The formal garden is located behind the Robert Carter House. Geometric parterres bordered with boxwood hedges are intersected by brick pathways to create an ornate and orderly vista. The necessary or privy is situated at the back of the garden, as was customary to provide privacy. A bench along the back path offers a spot to enjoy the scents and colors of the flowers.
