About Douglas, Walter T.
Alternate name(s): Day, Lew V.
James Frederick Dawson designed “Bonnie Brook” with job 08091, owned by Walter Douglas’ brother. Deftly handling steep topography and constrained layout, Dawson integrated the approach drive, bulkheads and a drainage ditch into rockeries, a grotto and iris garden. Terraces and a geometric flower garden adjoined the house and an elongated, irregular lawn and loop walk extended to one side, passing a woodland pond and iris bog to a flower-ringed circular pool. Conifers, flowering trees and shrubs heavily screened the road beyond.
