SPECIAL COLLECTIONS DEPARTMENT IOWA STATE UNIVERSITY MS 218 3 Biographical note The career of the landscape architect Warren H. Manning (1860-1938) looms large in the period between the era of Frederick Law Olmsted and the mid-twentieth century. Manning exercised a pivotal role in the development of American landscape architecture. Warren Manning was trained by one of the leading nineteenth-century New England practitioners of landscape horticulture--his father, Jacob Warren Manning (1826-1904)-- and by the foremost landscape architect of the era, the "father" of the profession in America in popular perception, Frederick Law Olmsted, Sr. (1822-1903). Manning joined the firm of Frederick Law Olmsted in Brookline, Massachusetts, as planting supervisor in 1888. Because of his superior horticultural knowledge, Manning assumed an ever-widening role in the firm's work. In his eight-year tenure with Olmsted, Manning worked on 125 projects in 22 states, including the World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago in 1893, and municipal park work in Boston, Buffalo, Chicago, Trenton, Rochester, and Washington, D.C. In 1896 Manning began his own practice as an independent landscape designer. Manning's office (at various times in Boston, Billerica, and Cambridge, Massachusetts) provided an apprenticeship setting for a group of men and women who charted significant directions for twentieth-century landscape planning and design. They included Albert D. Taylor, Fletcher Steele, Wilbur D. Cook Jr., Marjorie Sewell Cautley, and Helen Bullard, among others. Manning was a pioneer in two principal areas: resource-based design and planning, and community-based participatory design. He was a founder of the American Society of Landscape Architects, which first met in New York in 1899 with 11 charter members. Manning was a very important national publicist for landscape architecture and town planning. His client list included not only the captains of industry of his age--including James Tufts, Cyrus H. McCormick, William G. Mather, Frederick Pabst, August and Adolphus Busch, Frank Seiberling, and Joseph Pulitzer--but also many government agencies and community groups. Manning developed an environmental planning model based on the concept of gathering and organizing discrete types of environmental data, such as soils and vegetative cover, in mapped form, using gridded maps in particular. Similar mapping and overlay analysis is quite common today. What began as regional mapping evolved into what Manning termed the National Plan, a document representing an early attempt to provide a statistical profile of the entire country. The principal contribution of Manning's National Plan (1919) was the concept of a land classification system that could be used by governmental units to control the exploitation of natural resources and to evaluate scenic beauty. Manning's national planning work was undertaken on his own initiative. It was an inspiration for the more structured efforts of the National SPECIAL COLLECTIONS DEPARTMENT IOWA STATE UNIVERSITY MS 218 4 Resources Planning Board during the Roosevelt administrations. Collection description The collection (1882-2007, undated) contains material related to Manning's work on the National Plan, speeches, articles, reports, client lists, drawings and plans from more than fifty of Manning's projects, glass lantern slides, and photographs. Organization The collection is organized into the following series: Series 1, Personal Papers, 1894-1985, undated Series 2, Drawings, 1891-1929, undated Series 3, Lantern Slides, ca. 1900-1930, undated Series 4, Lantern Slide Photographic Prints, circa 1900-1930, undated Series 5, Photographs and Clippings, 1883-1927, undated Series 6, Printed Materials, 1882-2007, undated SPECIAL COLLECTIONS DEPARTMENT IOWA STATE UNIVERSITY MS 218 5 Description of series Series 1 Personal Papers 1894-1985, undated extent: 1.26 linear feet (3 document boxes) description: This series consists of materials relating to the National Plan, including correspondence, committee files, typescript drafts, individual state plans, research data and notes, maps and graphs, blueprints and study briefs. The principal contribution of Manning's National Plan (1919) was the concept of a land classification system that could be used by governmental units to control the exploitation of natural resources and to evaluate scenic beauty. There are also a small number of addresses and speeches made by Manning, as well as articles and publications, related to landscape design. The remainder of the series contains articles by authors other than Manning, including T.H. Abel, A.P. Davis, Egbert Hans, and William E. Smythe, client lists, and a lantern slide list.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106- 1346 l a s g o w \ £5 OG Abstract The Neues SchloB in Pappenheim commissioned by Carl Theodor Pappenheim is probably one of the finest examples of neo-classical interior design in Germany retaining a large amount of original furniture. Through his commissions he did not only build a house and furnish it, but also erected a monument of the history of his family. By comparing parts of the furnishing of the Neues SchloB with contemporary objects which are partly in the house it is evident that the majority of these are influenced by the Empire style. Although this era is known under the name Biedermeier, its source of style and decoration is clearly Empire.

  • Building Stones of the National Mall
    The Geological Society of America Field Guide 40 2015 Building stones of the National Mall Richard A. Livingston Materials Science and Engineering Department, University of Maryland, College Park, Maryland 20742, USA Carol A. Grissom Smithsonian Museum Conservation Institute, 4210 Silver Hill Road, Suitland, Maryland 20746, USA Emily M. Aloiz John Milner Associates Preservation, 3200 Lee Highway, Arlington, Virginia 22207, USA ABSTRACT This guide accompanies a walking tour of sites where masonry was employed on or near the National Mall in Washington, D.C. It begins with an overview of the geological setting of the city and development of the Mall. Each federal monument or building on the tour is briefly described, followed by information about its exterior stonework. The focus is on masonry buildings of the Smithsonian Institution, which date from 1847 with the inception of construction for the Smithsonian Castle and continue up to completion of the National Museum of the American Indian in 2004. The building stones on the tour are representative of the development of the Ameri­ can dimension stone industry with respect to geology, quarrying techniques, and style over more than two centuries. Details are provided for locally quarried stones used for the earliest buildings in the capital, including A quia Creek sandstone (U.S. Capitol and Patent Office Building), Seneca Red sandstone (Smithsonian Castle), Cockeysville Marble (Washington Monument), and Piedmont bedrock (lockkeeper's house). Fol­ lowing improvement in the transportation system, buildings and monuments were constructed with stones from other regions, including Shelburne Marble from Ver­ mont, Salem Limestone from Indiana, Holston Limestone from Tennessee, Kasota stone from Minnesota, and a variety of granites from several states.

Epigraphie Bulletin for Greek Religion 1998 (EBGR 1998) In this issue we have covered a large part of the publications of 1998, making several additions to previous issues; we still have a long list of articles we should like to present (e.g., from the journal Horos), but this would have delayed the journal's publication substantially. A generous grant from the GISELA UND REINHOLD HXCKER STIFTUNG for our editorial work in 2001 will enable us in EBGR 1999 to close most of the gaps left in this and in earlier issues. In EBGR 1998 we have focused on new epigraphic finds, new interpretations of inscriptions, and epigraphic corpora, but we have also summarized a few archaeological studies which make extensive use of the epigraphic material; for the significant contribu­ tion of archaeology to the study of Greek religion the reader should consuIt the Chronique archéologique in Kernos. As in earlier issues we have not limited ourselves to epigraphy but have included a few references to important papyro­ logical sources (nOS 29, 134, 168, 181, 280, 300) and to the evidence provided by the documents in Linear B (nO 50).

GEXTLEMEN:-In commencing to make a plan for the Central Park, in New York, I had before me the ' circular," issued by the Board ; the first " detail " of .which is, the " expenditure" allowed by the State. I 1. I assume, that at least one-third of the said appropriation, that is, five hundred thousancl dollars I I ($500,000), ought to be devoted to the principal object of that expenditure ; the formation of a I i Public Park, that shall be the ornament of the me- 1 tropolis of the couiitry, the pride of the State; a I i trophy of the present to future generations, of the , patriotism and liberality of the people, and the cm- , bodiincrit of the refined taste and natural science of \ ' the age. I Kith these subjects in view, I submit the an- nexed plan, for the carryiilg of those objects into ! execution. In this outlay would be included,-making I 2 .? avenues, drives, walks, terraces, flower-gardens, play, parade, and skating-grounds, trees, and shrubbery, and planting the same. Leaving two-thirds, or one million of dollars, for buildings, fencing, arches, . fountains, and grading the lawns. 2.
