Excerpt from Cultural Landscape Report for Vanderbilt Mansion National Historic Site, Hyde Park, New York, Vol. 2: Treatment Even more of a threat to the long range perpetuation of the historic scene is the fact that funds and personnel have not been sufficient to prevent the accumulation of a backlog of deferred maintenance items. During the period of World War II, and the Korean outbreak, with resulting cutbacks in funds for maintenance Of the site, the Italian gardens were of necessity abandoned in order to concentrate the limited funds that were available on the preservation and maintenance of even more vital aspects of the historic scene.
