Waterfall in Italian Gardens - Maymont - Richmond, VA 5-24-01
Noland and Baskervill of Richmond designed the Dooleys' Italian Garden, using elements of the classical style developed in Italy in the 15th and 16th centuries as their model. In fact, their designs for the Cascade as well as the Fountain Court above the east entrance to the garden appear to have been patterned after similar features at the Villa Torlonia near Rome. Completed in 1910, the Italian Garden's exquisite stonework is Petersburg granite, and remains unmatched by any other public garden.

Japanese Gardens - Maymont - Richmond, VA 5-24-01
Maymont's Japanese Garden is blend of several different styles of Japanese gardens and two distinct periods of design. In 1911, the Dooleys purchased a wedge-shaped section of the Kanawha Canal that bordered Maymont. To create their garden, it is believed they hired Muto, a master Japanese gardener who had designed gardens for other estates along the East Coast.
