Hey Zach, great to see this. If interested I have a copy of part of the plan by Beatrix Farrand, the part south of this pool (it would be what would be behind one if one were standing where this picture was taken) in this post: http://thedowneastdilettante.blogspot.com/2010/06/wherever-i-lookdeja-vue-all-over-again.html
What makes it Chinese, it look pretty plain.
Your "click Here" isn't working.
The garden architecture, gazebos, walls, gates, etc., all had chinese motifs
HPHS -
Have you seen 'Long Island Landscapes and the Women Who Designed Them' by Cynthia Zeitzevsky?
There is a chapter on Farrand and a handful of plans of the gardens at 'Applegreen'.
