Full restore of the Persian Pool slated for 2022 at a cost of ~ $2 million. Lots of 4 and 5-figure donations flowing into the Untermeyer Conservancy from the Iranian diaspora.
It is an exquisite place indeed but I'm just curious why at the 3:21 mark you did not pan out to also include the statue of the Lion which exists to the right of the Horse/Unicorn ?
The garden was in ruins during the 70s .. abandoned places like that were attracting a lot of wackos, homeless people and drug addicts. Central park was no better at that dark period of time
Too bad that it can’t go back to original style and there has to be the new modern take on it with … vegetable gardens and discarded building materials. People are messed up.
A true treasure!
It's a magnificent garden.
And an occultist
Are there any plans to repair the pool? That's what I remember most as a 4 year old in 63?
