Alice Longfellow, the poet’s oldest daughter who lived on in the House after her father’s death, hired landscape architect Martha Brookes Hutcheson (1871Ð1959) to re-establish the formal garden that she had known since childhood. She engaged Hutcheson to base her plan on the Persian design of her father’s flower garden, drawn up in the 1840s by English landscape gar- dener and florist Richard Dolben. Martha Brookes Hutcheson wrote in a Aerial view of the Longfellow House formal garden, 1935 letter in response to the Historic American originally planned, for sentiment, which to visitors as she grew older.” Building Survey in 1936, “The Longfellow pleased Miss Alice Longfellow very much.

Coffin of Maine was the Chief Judge of the United States Court of Appeals for the First Circuit. While Coffin’s judicial career extended over more than forty years, I chose this period because it was a time when his influence over the court’s work was at its peak, as well as because he himself later singled it out as a “judicial Garden of Eden,”1 during which the First Circuit enjoyed its status as the last remaining three-judge federal court of appeals in the nation.

  • Against All Odds MIT's Pioneering Women of Landscape Architecture
    Against all Odds MIT’s Pioneering Women of Landscape Architecture * Eran Ben-Joseph, Holly D. Ben-Joseph, Anne C. Dodge1 Massachusetts Institute of Technology, School of Architecture and Planning, City Design and Development Group 77 Massachusetts Ave. 10-485 Cambridge, MA 02139 1 November 2006 * Recipient of the 6th Milka Bliznakov Prize Commendation: International Archive of Women in Architecture (IAWA) This research is aimed at exposing the influential, yet little known and short-lived landscape architecture program at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) between 1900 and 1909. Not only was it one of only two professional landscape architecture education programs in the United States at the time (the other one at Harvard also started at 1900), but the first and only one to admit both women and men. Women students were attracted to the MIT option because it provided excellent opportunities, which they were denied elsewhere. Harvard, for example did not admit women until 1942 and all-women institutions such as the Cambridge School or the Cornell program were established after the MIT program was terminated. Unlike the other schools of that time, the MIT program did not keep women from the well-known academic leaders and male designers of the time nor from their male counterparts. At MIT, women had the opportunity to study directly with Beaux-Art design pioneers such as Charles S. Sargent, Guy Lowell, Désiré Despradelle, and the revered department head Francis Ward Chandler. Historical accounts acknowledged that a woman could “put herself through a stiff course” at MIT including advance science and structural engineering instruction.

  • Designing Woman: Martha Brookes Hutcheson
    Designing Woman: Martha Brookes Hutcheson Rebecca Warren Davidson A number of America’s first women landscape architects depended on informal learning at the Arnold Arboretum as part of their professional training, and Martha Brookes Hutcheson (1871-1959) was among the most talented of them. Two examples of her work in Massachusetts gardens are now open to the public-Maudslay State Park in Newburyport and the Longfellow National Historic Site in Cambridge-as well as a third, her own home in Gladstone, New Jersey, now Bamboo Brook Outdoor Education Center. Even as the Longfellow Site is being restored, the Library of American Landscape History has reprinted Hutcheson’s widely praised articulation of the architectural principles of garden design, The Spirit of the Garden. The following essay on her training and practice is excerpted from the introduction to the new edition. hen Martha Brookes Hutcheson’s The tic and knowledgeable Spirit of the Garden appeared in 1923, advocacy of the use of V the number of books already available native plants. brimming with advice for the amateur gardener History has proved might have daunted a less assured writer.’ As Hutcheson correct.

  • A MODERN ARCADIA Frederick Law Olmsted Jr
    SUMMER 2002 NUMBER 2 FROM THE LIBRARY OF AMERICAN LANDSCAPE HISTORY A MODERN ARCADIA Frederick Law Olmsted Jr. and the Plan for Forest Hills Gardens When urban historian Susan L. Klaus first visited Forest Hills Gardens, she could scarcely believe her eyes. Tidy lawns, tree-lined streets, parks, and a villagelike atmosphere of Arts and Crafts buildings offered a compelling contrast to the commercial sprawl just a few blocks away. Even the cars seemed to drive more slowly, as though they too belonged to a different era. Many sections of the 142-acre Frederick Law Olmsted Jr. plotting the 39th parallel through the Rockies, 1894. Courtesy The Papers of Frederick Law Olmsted. Queens, New York, suburb precisely echoed drawings by its designers, Frederick Law Olmsted Jr. (1870–1957) and architect Grosvenor Atterbury (1869–1956). When Klaus discovered that Forest Hills Gardens had never been the subject of scholarly study, she approached LALH with the idea of writing a book that examined the historic subdivision in the context of the Progressive Era ideals then influencing land- scape architecture. Klaus intended to focus particular attention on the role of Frederick Law Olmsted Jr., son of the legendary land- scape architect, whose planning career had also escaped scholarly study. Nearly ten years of research and writing have resulted in a richly informative text that interweaves several strands of planning and landscape architectural history.

    ATTENDING TO THE NATION'S BUSINESS WITHIN THE COMMONWEAL TH A Brief Historical Survey of the Anomalous Role of the United States District Court in the Massachusetts Judicial System Hon. Douglas P. Woodlock* In 1879 the bar of the federal court of Massachusetts had become sullen, if not mutinous. Thomas L. Nelson, an inland lawyer - from the "port of Worcester," no less- had been named to what was known popularly as the " Admiralty Court" and the members of the bar" were not Judge inclined to receive Nelson's appointment very graciously."l Thomas For the first century of its existence the United States L. District Court for the District of Massachusetts Nelson. had been so intimately involved with the mari- time concerns of the commonwealth that the new nation's nisi prius court in Massachusetts had taken its popular name from that of the revied colonial Vice Admiralty Court and" the lone judge who presided came often to be known as the 'Judge of Admiralty."'2 But now Presi- dent Hayes had not only chosen a lawyer with no admiralty experience to preside, he had de- clined to appoint one of the leading young admialty practitioners, Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr., to the federal judgeship for which he and his champions at the recognized federal bar in Massachusetts believed him singularly suited.3 Some twenty years later, upon Judge Nelson's death in Worcester, where he invariably returned after the conclu- sion of his sessions in Boston - then the only place of holding federal court in Massachusetts - the federal bar acknowledged his success on "their" bench.
