The Garden House...

Isleworth, UK

"...displaying many of Adam's hallmarks, includes a semi-circular frontage,
stucco medallions of festive figures and Ionic pilasters.
Only the sphinxes that once occupied the ends
of its parapets have disappeared.

"In 1782 it was known to contain 45 citrus trees,
many of which were brought out in the summer months
to enhance the path to the front."
