  • Guild Park & Horticulture Plans
    SECTION 2 : plan context GUILD PARK & GARDENS horticulture plan | 2018 9 10 GUILD PARK & GARDENS horticulture plan | 2018 history The Guild Park and Gardens has a long and illustrious history, which began with the parceling of land tracts for distribution to Loyalists following the American Revolutionary War. One of the property’s earliest owners, William Ousterhout, while never having lived on the site, has come to be associated with the log cabin that bears his name. The Ousterhout Log Cabin has been dated back to approximately 1850 and persists to this day as one of four designated heritage buildings on the Park site. The property changed hands many times in the 19th and early 20th century. In 1914, owner General Bickford, created the Ranelagh Park View of Bickford House and an event tent, country estate on the site and built the Bickford House as a summer 2000 resort. The estate house formed the nucleus for the Guild Inn, which is now a designated cultural heritage building. In 1932 Rosa Hewetson purchased the over 450 acre property, where she married Spencer Clark. The same year, she and Spencer formed the Guild of All Arts. Inspired by the arts and crafts community at Roycroft, New York State, ‘The Guild of All Arts’ started as a social contribution in the depression years, providing a home and a forum for artists and artisans, where their work was created and collected for the enjoyment of many. There is still a significant public art collection on the site. The Guild of All Arts was active from 1932 until 1942 and, after the war, from 1947 until Spencer Clark’s death in the 1980s.
