		It was commonplace to see an elephant pulling a plow for a spring garden, and to come across a string of elephants being exercised for street parades, each holding with its trunk to the tail of the one ahead.
		Once the estate of Terrace Park pioneer William L. Spooner, it was bought by Thomas J. Emery in 1897 and given to the Fresh Air and Convalescent Aid Society to provide summer recreation for inner city youngsters and their parents, who came out, 250 at a time, for a week of countrified life.
		Terrace Park's "little red schoolhouse", according to an old reminiscence, was built about 1840, adjacent to the present school, and was indeed a small frame structure painted red.

		The terrace of the Elephants in its present form extends in length for over 300 metres - from the Baphuon to the terrace of the Leper King - though the two extremities remain imprecise in their layout and the terrace itself shows evidence of additions and alterations.
		Above, the various changes in level are marked with lions sculpted in the round and naga-balustrades on blocks with garudas on their hoods, clearly in the style of the Bayon - except for a few earlier ones that have no garuda.
		The upper terrace - from where one can see the enclosure walls and the eastern gopura below of the earlier Royal Palace - has two levels with a four metre wide border towards the square and an upper platform of 10 metres, with a base sculpted with "Hamsas" (sacred geese).
