The last great estate along the mile-and-a-half Boulevard is up for sale. Is there anyone who believes that the Bridgham-Granoff s 3.6 acres will be bought by a philanthropist who plans to create, say, an arboretum, a research center, a retreat for painters or poets, or some sort of venture that will maintain the gardens as an oasis? Or if the land is developed, will a smart green architect create a brilliant scheme with clustered living that will actually enhance the property and make the city proud?
Farther down Blackstone Boulevard the main house at the center of the Nicholson estate was preserved, but supporting structures, such as a delightful Arts & Crafts playhouse, greenhouses, and a carriage house were razed. The first house built on the carved-up property is a million-dollar-plus bit of suburban blandness. One vainly hopes that the remaining lots carved out of the estate might be more sensitive in spirit and scale.
