The first NYC Landmarks Commission Archaeologist, Sherene Baugher,
Ph.D., a Stony Brook University alumnus (dormitories once stated
based on the Harvard University model), I read is at the Landscape
Department of Cornell University, Ithaca, NY I read in the "Council
for Northeast Historical Archaeology Newsletter" awhile ago.
It would be a good thing to note that some New York Federalist
properties (i.e., Rufus King Manor, the "last Federalist" and our
first Ambassador to England after the Revolution, is being researched
for its recreating its former gardens I heard on a NY City Parks
meeting on cable TV, and along the same Montauk Highway, the first New
Yorker to sign the Declaration of Independence, (first read to New
Yorker's in public by George Washington according to
http://www.oldandsold.com/articles06/new-york-city-74.shtml) William
Floyd's Manor, in the Fire Island National Seashore, Mastic/Shirley,
NY could use some research too into the gardens once associated with
the east side of the manor house.
