A Virtual Tour
The Hennery, or Dove-Cote, was the first building built on the island by the Boldt's, while they were remodeling the original summer cottage in 1884. The stone tower was topped with a wooden structure designed for use as a dovehouse. This building was part of a 'hennery,' where the Boldt's collected exotic fowl. Around the base of the tower, and following the graceful curve of the retaing wall, a large greenhouse was to be built, complete with a giant palm room.
