Shurtleff for the Walter B. Lashar family. The garden was designed with three bridges, water flowing from pool to pool on stone runways, stone paths, Japanese lanterns and a replica of Mount Fujiyama which was able to let off smoke through a chimney in the peak. The footbridge (without railings) and larger rocks in the photo are still features of the garden.

Shurtleff for the Walter B. Lashar family. Arthur Asahel Shurcliff (1865 - 1957) was a noted American landscape architect. (He was born with the family name Shurtleff but changed it to Shurcliff in 1930.) A recent site visit to the garden indicates that the bridge, pergola, Japanese lantern and fence are no longer there.

Shurtleff (aka Shurcliff) for the Walter B. Lashar family. It featured a chimney 1 1/2 feet in diameter which would belch smoke like a real volcano. Small rocks were placed along the base of the structure to stabilize it. The real Mount Fujiyama in Japan is approximately 12,290 feet above sea level and is revered as a sacred mountain.

Shurtleff for the Walter B. Lashar family. A recent site visit to the garden suggests that this footbridge is still extant, but its railings are no longer there. The original (or very similar) Japanese lantern also still exists. According to Shurtleff (aka Shurcliff), these lanterns were "sometimes meant to be lighted with candles, and at other times simply too serve as symbols."

The south pond bridge is no longer there, and the hollow for the meditation pool, now dry, is in the lower left. The pergola on the right is no longer extant and would be today obscured by shrubbery. The mound of Mount Fuji also has been worn down and is less prominent. The real Mount Fujiyama in Japan is approximately 12,290 feet above sea level and is revered as a sacred mountain.
