Description
English:

Blossoms and leaves cover the branches of an apple tree, growing at the edge of a lawn beside a low white fence, tulips, and other trees and hedges.

Aspet is associated with Augustus Saint-Gaudens’s professional and creative accomplishments relating to his main vocation, sculpture; his role in the establishment of the Cornish Colony; and his landscape designs at Aspet. The period of significance begins in 1885, when he and his family moved to the property, and continues to 1950. The earliest photographs of the Saint-Gaudens family at Aspet, taken the first summer they rented the house in 1885, show a collection of apple trees southeast of the house. A larger orchard of apple, cherry, and plum trees was located to the west of what is now the New Gallery complex. The trees along the entry walk to the southeast of the house were planted by a previous owner, matured, and were replaced during the period of significance. Two trees date to the period of significance. Though not appearing to be part of the formal landscape plan on site, the apple trees existed during the historic period and contribute to the significance of the cultural landscape.
