Administrative Information Provenance: Records of the Olmsted Associates, Inc., a landscape architectural firm, were given to the Library of Congress in 1967 and 1971 by the firm's present owners. Additional material was given by the American Society of Landscape Architects in 1986. Microfilm copies of parts of the records were purchased, 1971-1973. Processing History: The records of the Olmsted Associates were arranged and described in 1972 and 1974. The records were reprocessed and prepared for microfilm in 1988. Copyright Status: Copyright in the unpublished writings of the firm in these records and in other collections of papers in the custody of the Library of Congress has been dedicated to the public. Microfilm: A microfilm copy of part of these records is available on 531 reels. Consult a reference librarian in the Manuscript Division concerning availability for purchase or interlibrary loan. Preferred Citation: Researchers wishing to cite this collection should include the following information: Container or reel number, Records of the Olmsted Associates, Manuscript Division, Library of Congress, Washington, D.C. Scope and Content Note Records constituting the business files of the Olmsted Associates, Inc., landscape architects from the late nineteenth century to 1971, include material dated as early as 1863, though the bulk of the records spans the years 1884-1950. The records include correspondence, letterbooks, memoranda, reports, plans, specifications, newspaper clippings, photographs, drawings, journals, account books, ledgers, lists, diagrams, blueprints, deeds, and printed matter. The final series of the collection contains material relating to the Olmsted family, especially Frederick Law Olmsted, Sr. (1822-1903), Frederick Law Olmsted, Jr. (1870-1957), and John C. Olmsted. Letterbooks comprising Series A document the firm's work from 1884 to 1899 and contain carbon copies of business letters dealing with subcontractual arrangements, cost estimates, planting procedures and instructions, and requests for information regarding prospective employees. Personal correspondence occasionally filed with these business letters provides insight into the senior Frederick Law Olmsted's business and professional philosophy. Of particular interest is his letter dated 16 November Records of the Olmsted Associates 3 1891 to Francis G. Newlands reconfirming his ideas on suburban development expressed in many articles over the years. Olmsted stated his views on total area development in conformity with the natural beauty of the land rather than piecemeal tract and lot development disregarding future needs. Indexes to the letterbooks have been reproduced on two reels of microfilm and a printed copy is available in the Manuscript Division Reading Room. The Job File, Series B, contains correspondence, memoranda, and other material related to projects undertaken by the firm. The file also serves as an administrative file containing personnel and other records as well as a limited amount of personal papers, such as biographical articles relating to the Olmsted family. Many files in this series contain correspondence predating 1900 interfiled after the initiation of a later filing system. The Job Files series is especially comprehensive for undertakings reflecting tract development, the relationship between beautification and pragmatic land use, and political and private philanthropic efforts to create recreational land areas. The files include landscape designs, layouts, and work arrangements. Many of the reports and other material document financial arrangements for county and municipal park systems in addition to designs for roads, buildings, and gardens seen as interrelated activities in landscape architecture. Projects undertaken by the firm ranged in size from small estates to park systems of thousands of acres, including the development of the Baltimore, Brooklyn, Buffalo, Chicago, and Hartford public park systems as well as privately donated public areas such as Fort Tryon Park in New York City, the gift of John D. Rockefeller, Jr. Other files relate to such universities as Harvard, Stanford, and Tufts, the United States Military Academy, and private estates including "Biltmore," George W. Vanderbilt's manor in North Carolina. Files pertaining to the District of Columbia contain extensive material on the Capitol and White House grounds, complemented by additional material in Series D, and on the National Zoo, the park system, the Grant and Lincoln memorials, and the work of the Washington Consultative Board and the Fine Arts Commission. Records of the firm's involvement in city planning and suburban development illustrate the Olmsteds' ideas regarding the systematic expansion of urban areas. George W. Vanderbilt and John D. Rockefeller, Jr., have extensive correspondence in the Job File. Other prominent figures represented include Frances Benjamin Johnston, Henry Cabot Lodge, Gifford Pinchot, Whitelaw Reid, August Saint-Gaudens, William Howard Taft, and Booker T. Washington. Complementing the Job File are two sets of indexes. The first, termed Job Books, is a numerical listing which includes jobs undertaken by the firm as well as projects in which the firm was interested but did not perform. The second index consists of a microfilm copy of the firm's index cards for the Job File, which lists jobs alphabetically, geographically, and by subject, though this latter index is not complete. Readers may also wish to consult Charles E. Beveridge and Carolyn F. Hoffman, The Master List of Design Projects of The Olmsted Firm, 1857-1950 (New York, 1987). Following the Job File are two series generally limited to office correspondence never interfiled into the main file. The General Correspondence series, largely routine in nature, contains work requests and comments on park and estate development. Filed with these letters is an exchange of correspondence in

  • Waterworks System Improvements
    Waterworks System Improvements Wachusett Reservoir Integrated Water Supply Improvement Program MWRA’s Integrated Water Supply Improvement Program is an initiative consisting of a series of projects to protect reservoir watersheds, build new water treatment and transmission facilities, upgrade distribution storage and MWRA and community pipelines and interim improvements to the Metropolitan Tunnel system redundancy. The program improves each aspect of the water system from the watersheds to the consumer to ensure that high quality water reliably reaches MWRA customers’ taps. The program began in 1995 with the initial components which were completed by 2005 and the program remains active as the scope was expanded to continue to improve the water system. The main program components are as follows: Watershed Protection The watershed areas around Quabbin and Wachusett Reservoirs are pristine areas with 85% of the land covered in forest or wetlands and about 75% protected from development by direct ownership or development restrictions. MWRA works in partnership with the Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR) to manage and protect the watersheds. MWRA also finances all the operating and capital expenses for the watershed activities of DCR and on‐going land acquisition activities. MetroWest Water Supply Tunnel The 17‐mile‐long 14‐foot diameter tunnel connects the new Carroll Water Treatment Plant at Walnut Hill in Marlborough to the greater Boston area. It is now working in parallel with the rehabilitated Hultman Aqueduct to move water into the metropolitan Boston area. Construction began on the tunnel in 1996 and the completed tunnel was placed in service in October 2003. Carroll Water Treatment Plant The water treatment plant in Marlborough began operating in July 2005 and it has a maximum day capacity of 405 million gallons per day.

  • Uptown Girl: the Andresen Flats and the West End by Marion Meginnis
    Uptown Girl: The Andresen Flats and the West End By Marion Meginnis Spring 2015 HP613 Urban History Goucher College M.H.P Program Consistent with the Goucher College Academic Honor Code, I hereby affirm that this paper is my own work, that there was no collaboration between myself and any other person in the preparation of this paper (I.B.1), and that all work of others incorporated herein is acknowledged as to author and source by either notation or commentary (I.B.2). _____________ (signature) ___________ (date) The Andresen Flats The Andresen Flats and its neighborhood are tied to the lives of Davenport, Iowa’s earliest German settlers, people who chose Davenport as a place of political refuge and who gave and demanded much of their new community. At times, their heritage and beliefs would place them on a collision course with fellow citizens with different but equally deeply felt beliefs. The conflicts played out against the backdrop of national events occurring less than a hundred years after the city’s founding and just a few years after the Andresen was built. The changes that followed and the shift in how Davenporters lived in their city forever altered the course of the neighborhood, the building, and the citizens who peopled both. Built by German immigrant H. H. Andresen in 1900, the Flats dominates its corner at Western Avenue and West 3rd Street in downtown Davenport. The city is located at one of the points where the Mississippi River’s flow is diverted from its north/south orientation to run west.
