Evaluate the historical associations of the landscape/park with the community. The original land of Larz Anderson Park belonged to the Goddard family and during the Revolution it was known as Goddard Heights. Larz Anderson Park is named after the husband of Isabel Weld Anderson, granddaughter of William Fletcher Weld I, a merchant and shipbuilder. He bought the Goddard and several other parcels between 1841 and 1881 to create "Windy Top", his summer estate. The estate passed into the hands of his son. William F. Weld II, who built a new house, designed by Edmund Wheelwright, and the carriage house. Isabel bought the property from her cousin in 1899. (see LAP district form). After Larz and Isabel Anderson obtained the property, they began a decade long labor of love to improve their country estate. They hired Little & Browne to enlarge the original Shingle style house and to design the lagoon area. The firm of Fox & Gale was hired for the concrete walls and minor landscape improvements. The design for the Italianate Garden the Bowling Green was by Charles Piatt. BIBLIOGRAPHY and/or REFERENCES • see continuation sheet Baker, John Cordis. American Country Houses and their Gardens.

One path led into a marble wishing well set into the stir wall. A series of sculptures lined the area between the loggias. These four paths came to a terrace with a wall fountain. The fountain is flanked by two half-round columns. The wall contains a plague reading, "This garden was built in 1901 and called "Weld". Descending the steps and standing by the fountain which was framed by huge amphorae from the Palazzo Piombino, the main vista of the garden opened up to a central grass mall. On each side of the mall and set on two different levels were flower borders, up to 17,000 square feet of beds. They were replanted during March to October to provide a continual display. At the far end of the mall, was an elaborate fountain, the Cupid Fountain, sculpted in Italy. Flanking the stirs to the fountain were two seated lions. Behind this stood a pergola which displayed the Andersons' collection of topiary boxwood bought in Holland in 1902 and 1904. Sited around the garden, in containers, were magnificent bay trees brought back from travels. Other elements included terrace walks along the upper sections along the balustrade; the north section commanding an incredible vista of the Boston skyline, one of the most magnificent in the Boston area. Stairs descend from the other end near the old pergola. At the mall level ran a patterned brick walk around the perimeter. At each corner are marble curved seats. On the slopes in the middle stand two balustraded overlooks with seating areas on the mall level. The garden can be viewed from outside—the retaining walls with their balustrades, the corner loggias/pergolas and glimpses of the statue and wishing well. In 1958-58, the Town removed much of the original elements to construct a skating rink and a zamboni shed. What is left of the garden is the stone wall, the northwest loggia/pergola, column remnants of the southwest loggia/pergola, the staircase and three seating areas.
