Powell Into “Outdoor Sitting Room.™ Looks Like Sunken Garden. Part of an outside sitting room. No. XXVIL | Mr. and Mrs. Fred W. Powell, 3705 McKinley street, have combined civil engineering and artistry in the con struction of a garden about their| home which rapidly is approaching i of an ‘outdoor sitting ! “climbing apricot tree.’ Powell has attended to the en- gineering detalls. while Mrs. Powell tic member of the Wild- | rvation League, has sup-| plied the color effects. They have ob. tained many of their ideas from old English gardens they have visited but have made wide use of native| American shrubbery in producing their effects. When they started to create a gar den they were faced with peculiar| difficulties of location. which they have transformed into assets. When | they first moved into the house five vears ago the back vard was, as Mr Powell describes it, “the neighbor hood dump.” The land slopes down from the McKinley strset front, but ends abruptly against a rear alley which is about 4 feet above the level of the garden. At first the| District, pushinz ahead with road con- | struction in the neigliborhood. was | dumping earth into the yard from the | alley and soon would have brought it up to the same level. At Mr. Powell’s request this practice was stopped and a f-foot concrete retaining wall was | _ constructed. The result is that the| yard, viewed from the rear, abpears like a deep sunken gzarden. | The high retaining wall gives the | garden almost comlete pr shel- | ters the flowers and shrubs in Winter and fits in _excellently with the- artis. tic effects Mrs. Powell plans. It pro. vides the framework for the “outdoor sitting room.” This wall rapidly is being mantled with English ivy and other climbing vines. Eventually the drabness of the concrete will he en tirely hidden under a hanging curtain of perpetual green Beds The slope from McKinley street re sults in s of water rushing en in Spring and after To offset this Mr. Powell anzed the beds so that they dams, diverting the water into in on the northeast corner. At the same time the vard is kept irrl gated.
