This postcard image depicts garden on George Shurman estate, in East Hampton, Long Island, New York. The property was later better known as Lasata, a name given by the Bouvier Family, who purchased the property in 1925. George Wellington Schurman, a Manhattan lawyer, bought 10 acres on Further Lane from B.M. Osborne, conveniently located across the street from his brother. In 1917, Schurman contracted local builder Edward M. Gay to build a house designed by architect Arthur C. Jackson on the property. Plans included designs for a garden and a brick columned "Garden House." The garden shown above had a sunken area with a walkway lining an open field of grass in front of a fountain. The grassy area is edged with beds of flowering plants, including what appears to be pink azaleas. Large potted planters with blue hydrangeas can be seen at the top of the steps. The Schurman family was active in the Summer Colony and George's wife, Helen Schurman, was involved with the Garden Club of East Hampton. At the July 1919 Garden Club flower show, George and Helen Schurman's gardener, Joseph Cassidy, won awards for his "collection of perennials," his "dish of pansies," his "blooms of buddelias," and his "collection of vegetables." In 1923, the Schurman family relocated to Bedford, New York, and sold the property to the Martin family. The dates the Schurman Family owned the property are used to estimate a date for this postcard.
