Designing America and Portland: The Olmsted Legacy

January 11, 2015

The Olmsted Brothers architecture firm under the leadership of Frederick Law Olmsted, Sr. and sons John Charles and Frederick Law, Jr. left a lasting legacy across North America. An outspoken writer against slavery and a former head of the U.S. Sanitary Commission, Frederick Law Olmsted, Sr. is greatly remembered as the protector of Niagara Falls and the designer of the grounds of the famous Biltmore Estate. Son John Charles Olmsted laid the groundwork for the park systems and many university campuses in the Pacific Northwest; much of the greenscape and layout of today’s Portland can be traced to his influence.

Laurence Cotton, Consulting Producer on the new PBS film Frederick Law Olmsted: Designing America will lead a screening of this film followed by a discussion with architect William Hawkins III, author of the newly published book The Legacy of the Olmsted Brothers in Portland, Oregon.

Laurence Cotton & William J. Hawkins III
