About the author
Founded in 1898, this influential firm was led by John Charles Olmsted and Frederick Law Olmsted Jr., who continued the landscape design legacy associated with their father, Frederick Law Olmsted. Working from the famous Fairsted office in Brookline, Massachusetts, the practice grew into one of the most important landscape architecture firms in the country.
The firm worked on an enormous range of projects, including park systems, residential communities, campuses, and public institutions. Their designs and plans helped shape major urban landscapes in cities such as Seattle, Boston, and Atlanta, and their work reflects a broad vision of how green space could support civic life.
Because Olmsted Brothers was a firm rather than a single person, there is no single author portrait to use here. A group or project image might exist on historical pages, but I could not confirm a clear, appropriate portrait image for this entry.
