Figure 12: This chart measures available documentation for character-defining features in the Japanese Garden at Stan Hywet Hall, Akron, Ohio designed by
Warren Manning. Areas with little or no historic documentation are noted, thus identifying areas where future treatment options may be restricted. As
illustrated, restoration or reconstruction are viable alternatives based on the rich research findings. (courtesy Stan Hywet Hall Foundation, Inc. and

Figure 13: Period plans show the evolution of Aspet, the home of Augustus St. Gaudens, Cornish, New Hampshire. Plans were developed at two scales: first
for the entire estate's development, and second for the core area around the house, studio and gardens. For both, plans were generated for five time periods:
1885-1903,1903-1907,1907-1926,1926-1965 and 1965-1992. Illustrated above are the 1885-1903,1907-1926, and the 1926-1965 plans for the core area.
