The senior Olmsted (1822-1903) established the country¿s first full-scale professional office for the practice of landscape architecture at the property he called ¿Fairsted¿ in 1883. He and his family made their home here, and Olmsted took great personal interest in landscaping the residential grounds as a model of his design principles. After Olmsted¿s death, his stepson John Charles, his son Frederick Jr., and their successors maintained the landscape architecture practice, and perpetuated and expanded Olmsted¿s design ideals, philosophy, and influence into the 1970¿s. John Charles continued worked in the Brookline Office until his death in 1920. Frederick Law Olmsted Jr. worked in the Brookline Office until c. 1936, and then moved, living in both Maryland and California for a time, and retired in 1950. He passed away in Malibu, CA in 1957. The aforementioned landscape design records of the Olmsted firm indicated involvement with thousands of projects across North America including public parks, private estates, school campuses, residential communities and a wide variety of other types of landscape designs. Their records also listed work in many National Parks, from Acadia National Park in Maine, to Yosemite in California. This richly illustrated study will research and document the relationship between Frederick Law Olmsted, his sons, and associates and to the National Park Service (NPS). It will include: ¿ What ideas, embedded in Frederick Law Olmsted¿s design for Central Park, shaped the intellectual underpinnings of the conservation/preservation movement and in turn, the NPS. ¿ What affect his report on Yosemite and the Mariposa Grove had on the nascent preservation/conservation movement of the last quarter of the nineteenth century and how that movement related to the establishment of the NPS. It will also discuss his work in the preservation of Niagara Falls during 1880¿s as part of that same movement. ¿ The involvement of his son, Frederick Law Olmsted, Jr. in the drafting of the legislation that created the NPS in 1916 ¿ The work of the Olmsteds within the National Parks both as advocates and designers This report will be created and distributed to the public in a variety of formats including a printed and on-line document. The report will also provide the core narrative material and visual images for an on-line interactive exhibit.
