Subsequent to drainage mitigation, some new landscaping was placed in the vicinity of the summerhouse Quinta María, including fencing, trees, and a brick walkway; as well as a complete reconstruction of the stone wall bordering the property from the Hildebrand Gate to the northeastern corner. The cactus sculpture in the foreground served as a whimsical utility pole. It has since been restored, but no longer indicates its original purpose. Credit: Photo by Elise Urrutia, 2016
