- Lot Description
Frederick Law Olmsted Jr. (American, 1870-1957), "City of Boulder Colorado Plan of Improvements", March 1910. Frederick Law Olmsted Jr., son to Frederick Law Olmsted, Sr. (American, 1822-1903) who is generally regarded as the father of American landscape architecture - first came to Boulder, Colorado in 1908. He created a report that focused on improving the town's public areas - street networks, waterways, park system etc. This plan is handsomely delineated in color and professionally matted and framed in a Craftsman style. Size: 34" W x 35" H (86.4 cm x 88.9 cm)
Olmsted's Boulder report stated in part, "The purpose of this report is to offer helpful suggestions, drawn from experience and observation in many other cities and from brief and limited though eager study of Boulder, bearing upon one of the broad fundamental questions at the base of all municipal activities, namely: What physical improvements within the reach of the city will help it to make it increasingly convenient, agreeable and generally satisfactory as a place in which to live and work?" http://www.nationalbuildingmuseum.net/pdf/PubProg_FrederickLawOlmstedJrSymposium_PeterPollock_10-10-2013.pdf)
According to the Cultural Landscape Foundation, "Before joining his father’s firm in 1895, 'Rick' Olmsted studied landscape architecture at Harvard, apprenticed in the office of Daniel Burnham in Chicago on the World’s Columbian Exposition, and worked on the 10,000-acre Biltmore estate in Asheville, North Carolina. He and his half-brother, John Charles Olmsted, successfully assumed the firm’s leadership in 1897. Conversant in the Picturesque style, he came of age in the Beaux-Arts era of formal estate gardens and City Beautiful urban planning and design." (https://tclf.org/pioneer/frederick-law-olmsted-jr)
