General
The Boyle Garden featured banks of azaleas planted under virgin forest trees that provided shade for the Williamsburg-style house. The walk to the house was bordered with boxwood and behind the house there was a brick terrace with a fountain and small garden house.
This garden was originally documented as part of the Hollerith Family slide collection donated in 1993. An update of the garden documentation was provided in 2012.
