The Village Green (Great Neck)

What occurred

The Village Green was constructed in the early 20th century when Louise Eldridge set aside five acres of her estate for a village green. While many greens are meant for grazing, Eldridge solicited help from Beatrix Jones Farrand, an American landscape gardener and architect. The green remains a public park for Great Neck's residents today.
