I sure hope that after the Hoop a la over "The House" that they will mention something about the gardens being restored !  A few years ago a group of students and a professor, who was retired from YSU, did extensive work cleaning up and planting annuals and perennials.  I enjoyed "stopping by" with friends and family when I was in the area.  It was a very 'special' place I am sure for all those that knew it was there.

With some proper care by a professional landscaper, that garden could be properly restored. It's bones are still there, and I'm sure that the Mahoning Valley Historical Society has photographs of it in its prime that could be worked from.

Here are some photos I took of the Mary Wick Pollock garden several years back.  It would be great if someone
could take some current photos

What happened to Mrs. Pollock's fantastic tarraced gardens and fountain at the bottom garden ?

I wish someone could post some photos of the newly renovated Wick Pollock house, now that
the work is finished.

Does anyone have any photos of the exterior , with the hotel addition now gone?
