Chandor Gardens
Chandor Gardens is a historic 3.5 acres (1.4 hectares) garden established in Weatherford, Texas, US, by the British-born portrait painter Douglas Chandor (1897–1953) in 1936.[1] Originally named White Shadows, it was renamed by his widow Ina Kuteman after his death in 1953, and kept open to the public until her death in 1978.[1]
The gardens were neglected until 1994, when Melody and Chuck Bradford bought them and spent a year cleaning and repairing the gardens and Chandor's house and studio, and began hosting weddings and garden tours.[1] In 2002, the City of Weatherford acquired Chandor Gardens.[1]
The gardens are a Recorded Texas Historic Landmark.
