The terrace served as an active lawn and garden area for Jay family gatherings in numerous family photographs. The terrace garden was designed in 1924 along with the addition of the west wing of the house. In 1969, the Rusticus Garden Club began caring for it as a community volunteer project. After the original plans were found in the Homestead archives in 1992, the club undertook the garden’s restoration and continues to maintain it through volunteer efforts and fund-raising activities.
