Circa 1915-1920. Kennedy Creevey setting a croquet stake; Eileen Creevey and William Webster Ellsworth (Eileen’s grandfather) watching. On the North Lawn, I think it is about where the ‘little’ Cucumber Magnolia now stands. The flower garden in back is still, or again, a garden. The gravel path, however, is long vanished. Playing croquet on that lawn takes a bit of skill these days, tree roots and nearly a century have turned it into anything but a flat surface.
(I haven’t a clue as to what the white rectangle in the back left is)

Isn’t it the piillar on the north line? There used to be a clear path along there — the hemlocks have encroached on it completely, now.
