Victorian Garden
Robert Dielmann has spent more than forty years researching the history of the Kaiser family and the neighborhood. Robert was assisted by students from Washington University to determine the original colors of the building and do archaeological digs in a cistern in back yard. The garden area was once connected to the rock house to the north and used as a summer kitchen by the Kaiser family.
Today, the back garden is filled with flowers, trees, an Italian-style fountain and decorative planters. What was once mostly dead grass is now a lush front garden with decorative fence, planters, statues and trees. Dielmann is shown adding additional tile to the fountain which he has been mosaicing.
Until recently, Dielmann worked nearly everyday tending to his garden. Many of his paintings are inspired by the beautiful flowers and trees he has planted over the years.
