I feel like these two pictures were taken somewhat later than the first one, maybe in the very late ’70s or even early ’80s. I can’t help but notice a couple of other things. The hedges, frankly, look pretty ratty. I also hadn’t known that there were hedges right in the middle of the quad where the old road had been. And what a motley group of trees along the edge–it looks like a single Italian Cypress and then some other kinds I can’t identify right now.
