Notes
"At the birth of our 4th child, this installation was created to surround the location of his crib, so he would see the tree and the fruit from his infancy, and as he grew he could learn from the example of his older siblings. Extra detail includes a family crest visually depicting four family mottos. No longer extant, space was demolished in 2008. (Image has been composited from multiple photos to represent it in a single, though slightly distorted, view)."
