Terrace of Hyde Hall
Terrace of Hyde Hall
Glimmerglass State Park, East Springfield, New York
One of the standard features of the natural English landscape is the main house standing on a terrace that highlights the house and opens distant views to the occupants. George Clarke (1768-1835) modified the terrace at Hyde Hall by cutting into Mt. Wellington and expanding a small natural plateau on the site.
