The Hardy residence nestles
amidst this lovely. rolling country»

great works. Forty years ago he
plannoe’ the comfortable. red brick
a suns home in which he hus

About the house he created gardens
and planted trees to suit his own
fancy. He is a great lover of na-

out so many trees that he.creatcd a
"forest primeval." The house sits
back from the Dorcheater Road and
