Newbold Gardener's Cottage

Item

Description

The gardener's cottage is on the same level as route nine, with a sharp drop off behind it to the lower section of the Newbold estate.

The greenhouses were located behind and below the cottage. It is not known if the gardener lived year-round here. The windmill just behind the cottage and to the left from this viewpoint was used to draw water to this level.

The gardener may also have acted as a caretaker, although there was a smaller house on the estate reserved for a year round worker.

This cottage lies on a four acre parcel along route 9. It is owned by Ted Vanikiotis, the proprietor of the Palace Diner; he rents it to Marist College students.
