FairLane Mansion Grounds 2005

These photos are the left side of the grounds as you enter the drive. This area is composed of the mansion, the garden, garage, powerhouse, greenhouse, children's house, tree house and rock garden, boathouse and rock walls. The waterfalls are separate. I hope you enjoy the walk around the grounds.
