Oxton House

Oxton House; J. B. Swete, Esq. The grounds are laid out with great taste by the proprietor, who is an excellent artist in landscape architecture and figures. The style of art in the grounds is picturesque throughout; the scattered trees are judiciously disposed and well grouped; and we were particularly gratified by the appearance of a piece of water, in imitation of a wild neglected lake, which we could hardly have known to be a work of art, had we not, when walking round it, with difficulty discovered the head or dam.
