The French parterre was designed and built as an outdoor extension of the French drawing room in the west wing of the mansion. Reminiscent of the formal garden design that was fashionable in eighteenth-century France, the garden features ornate fountains and waterworks dividing beds of clipped boxwood and accented by period statuary.
