A National Historic Landmark and National Trust for Historic Preservation
property, is significant for its architecture and landscape gardening.
While keeping much of the intent of George Carter's original English
style garden, a subsequent owner, Mrs. William Corcoran Eustis,
was responsible for creating the existing formal garden. Historic
photographs, such as this 1930s view of "Oatlands," are
helpful in determining and evaluating the impact of more recent
changes. (Photo credit: Frank Turgeon, Jr., 1933, courtesy of Oatlands,
