Physical description: 1 photograph : digital, tiff file, color.

Notes: The gardens are an unusual manmade creation built by Baldasare Forestiere, an immigrant from Sicily, over a period of 40 years from 1906 to until his death in 1946. Countless hours were spent excavating the hardpan layer to create this underground home with a summer bedroom, a winter bedroom, a bath, a functional kitchen, a fish pond, and a parlor with a fireplace, with stone walls, archways, grottoes, and courtyards.; Credit line: The Jon B.
