The Finger Bowl

The Finger Bowl served as the Pinchots’ outdoor dining room, the Grey Towers landscape’s most popular feature.

Added in 1934, the unique water-filled table was the site of many lively discussions about politics, social issues, and conservation efforts. The food floated on the water in wooden bowls and balsa rafts. The opening in the wisteria-covered pergola permitted moonlight to radiate across the water.
