Leading away from the south terrace, towards the city, there was
a grass pathway lined with trees and statues, hence the name,
Monument Road. This distance was traveled on foot only and was
opened at all times for public use. The bronze statues included
a plainsman, a cowboy, an Indian Chief, an Indian
Maiden, and Belle
Starr, a female outlaw.
It was said that Mr. Marland enjoyed standing on this terrace
and looking down what was once called “Pioneer Woman Vista.” From
here, Mr. Marland could see approaching visitors, the Pioneer
Woman Statue, and the roof of his first home. |

Parts of
the drainage system are visible on this
side. The gutters, drain pipes and water
boxes are made of lead and bear the initial,
“M,” and the date, “1927.” The drainage of
the south terrace came through a carved head
of
|
 |
|
Pan (on
the south face of the terrace wall) emptying
the runoff from his mouth into the well
under the front terrace.

Accenting this balcony are corbels carved with flowers. |
