Description

Fountains in the Gardens at Monmouth University:
Renowned French landscape architect Achille Duchene designed the formal
gardens to the west of Wilson Hall. These are now known as the Erlanger memorial Gardens, in memory of Milton S. Erlanger, a member of the college’s board of trustees from 1956 to 1969. A péristyle, or covered colonnade, encloses one side of the gardens. A “water organ” fountain, which is modeled on la colonnade at Versailles, forms the boundary on the west side. In 1997, the University restored the Erlanger Gardens, conforming as closely as possible to the original plantings.
