History
1
About 1900, the kitchen garden and barnyard included the 1899 dairy barn with older barns and sheds attached on the west side, a small building in the right foreground that may originally have been a coachman’s dwelling but then served as a garden or tool shed, the farm stable with attached sheds and wagon house behind a large elm tree, and the pump house on the far left, where steam engines pumped water from the lake to the house. By today, the farm complex is much changed from Church’s time, as many of the outbuildings and sheds were removed when farming was discontinued. Charles Frier, the gardener seen in the photograph, later worked as coachman/chauffeur.
