About this audio guide
This guide to the Bishop's Garden at Washington National Cathedral traces the walled garden's odd inheritance from Grover Cleveland's private retreat, Red Top, salvaged stone by stone in 1927 for a garden gazebo called Shadow House. You'll meet ironworker Samuel Yellin, sculptor Edith Parsons and the small bronze figure of Pan guarding the gazebo's door, and hear where the garden's brick floor and Gothic arches came from.
