Context

When Bailey joined the Horticulture faculty at Cornell University in 1888, he established his family in a comfortable home on Cornell’s campus, along a stretch of East Avenue known as “Faculty Row.” The Bailey property became known as “Garden Home,” and the prefaces of many of his early books are signed “L. H. Bailey, Garden Home.” The home no longer stands. In 2021, the former East Avenue was renamed "Feeney Way" in honor of Charles F. "Chuck" Feeney, a major donor to the university.

Notes

This image is believed to be from Bailey's first home at Cornell, named the "Garden Home," which no longer stands. The photo's sleeve, however, indicates that it is from Sage Place. Research on Sage Place's property may help confirm the image's location. For now, the location defers to the negative sleeve.
