Frederick Law Olmsted (1822-1903) is recognized as the founder of American landscape architecture and the nation's foremost "parkmaker". Olmsted moved his home to suburban Boston in 1883 and established the world's first full-scale professional office for the practice of landscape design. During the next century, his sons and successors perpetuated Olmsted's design ideals, philosophy, and influence. |
