Huntley Terraces

Terraces:
Terraces are earthen structures that intercept runoff on steep slopes. The remains of terracing visible today
are smaller and less well-defined than they once were. Terraces were a popular landscape feature of the federal period. They added formality and defined a special pride of place to the main house.
