36 Wadsworth Place today seems nestled cosily into its oddshaped lot on the corner of Arlington Place as it enters into the park. However, when it was first built it was considered to be a country estate and its lot encompassed what is today a parking lot for the Rosa Coplon/Grace Manor nursing home. What lovely gardens it must have had! An early source places C. H. White at this address. Later, (in the 1880s) C. W. Playter lived here.
This house is one of the earlier homes built along the park and is one of four with Gothic Revival influences. The center gable rising from the hipped roof along with the carved window molding with center medallion motif are clear expressions of the Gothic style.
