Arrangement:

Organized chronologically.

Biographical / Historical:

Beginning in his youth Thomas Brumbaugh collected autographed correspondence. Mr. Brumbaugh's collecting instincts resulted in a unique collaborative collection providing a glimpse into the lives of a variety of 19th and 20th century American artists, such as Abbott Thayer. Brumbaugh was a professor of fine arts at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, and author of many articles on American art and artists.

Oliver Wolcott Gibbs was an American playwright and writer who lived in New York City. He wrote for The New Yorker and worked as a humorist and theatre critic. Gibbs was a direct descendent of President Martin Van Buren.

Barry Faulkner was an American artist who studied with Abbott H. Thayer, George de Forest Brush, and Augustus Saint-Gaudens. Along with sculptor Sherry Edmundson Fry, Faulkner organized artists to train as camouflage specialists. Faulkner was born in New Hampshire, traveled to Europe as he studied art, and then returned to New York, where he began work as a mural artist. He completed "The Constitution" and "The Declaration" in 1936 for the Rotunda for the Charters of Freedom at the National Archives.

Isaac Soyer was a social realist painter from New York City who used working-class and unemployed people as the subjects in his paintings. He also painted portraits for friends, and used his friends and family as models for his work.

Louis Hardin, commonly known as "Moondog," was a blind American composer and poet who lived on the streets of New York for a large portion of his life. He wore clothes inspired by the Norse god Thor, giving him the epithet, "The Viking of 6th Avenue." Moondog was influenced by ambient noises in his environment, and Native American music.

Henry Rox was a German artist who studied in Berlin and Paris before settling in the United States in 1938, where he taught at many universities, including Mount Holyoke College. He is known for fruit and vegetable photo-sculptures.

Ibram Lassaw was an American sculptor in the 20th century. Born in Egypt to Russian parents, Lassaw grew up in Brooklyn, New York. He was influenced by Alexander Calder and Wassily Kandinsky. Lassaw created open-space sculptural abstractions with metal, and helped abstract art grow in the United States.

Harry Rosin was an American sculptor born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. After working around the area following his studies at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, he traveled to Tahiti, where he married his wife. He is known for his iron sculptures.

Summary:

This collection contains over 37,000 35mm slides, 3,000 glass lantern slides and garden files that may include descriptive information, photocopied articles (from journals, newspapers, or books), planting lists, correspondence, brochures, landscape plans and drawings. Garden files were compiled by Garden Club of America (GCA) members for most of the gardens included in the collection. Some gardens have been photographed over the course of several decades; others only have images from a single point in time. In addition to images of American gardens, there are glass lantern slides of the New York Flower Show (1941-1951) and trips that GCA members took to other countries, including Mexico (1937), Italy, Spain, Japan (1935), France (1936), England (1929), and Scotland.

A number of the slides are copies of historic images from outside repositories including horticultural and historical societies or from horticultural books and publications. The GCA made a concerted effort in the mid-1980s to acquire these images in order to increase its documentation of American garden history. Because of copyright considerations, use of these particular images may be restricted.

Biographical/Historical note:

The Garden Club of America was established in 1913 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, when the Garden Club of Philadelphia and eleven other garden clubs met to create a national garden club. Its purpose is to foster the knowledge and love of gardening and to restore and protect the quality of the environment through educational programs and gardening and conservation efforts. The GCA was incorporated in Delaware in 1923, with its headquarters established in New York City. Today, local clubs are organized under twelve regional zones. The GCA continues its tradition of hosting flower shows and publishing material related to gardening in the United States.

The GCA's glass lantern slides were used by The GCA for presentations and lectures about notable gardens throughout the United States dating back to colonial times. An effort was made in the late 1980s, in preparation of the 75th anniversary of the Garden Club of America's founding, to collect the disbursed slides. These slides were to eventually form the Slide Library of Notable American Parks and Gardens. The informational value of this collection is extensive since a number of images of the more than 4,500 gardens represented show garden designs that have changed over time or no longer exist. While the majority of images document a range of designed upper and upper-middle class gardens throughout the U.S., the scope of the collection is expanding as volunteers photograph and document contemporary gardens including community and vernacular gardens.

The gardens illustrate the design work of dozens of landscape architects including Marian Coffin, Beatrix Farrand, Lawrence Halprin, Hare & Hare, Umberto Innocenti, Gertrude Jekyll, Jens Jensen, Warren Manning, the Olmsted Brothers, Charles Platt, Ellen Biddle Shipman, and Fletcher Steele. Because of their proximity to the gardens, works of notable architects and sculptors may also be featured in the images.

Biographical / Historical:

Joseph J. Greenberg (1915-1991) was a sculptor and educator from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Greenberg first became interested in sculpture as a child while attending the Oak Lane Country Day School and meeting sculptor Boris Blai, who was working as the school's art teacher. Years later Greenberg discovered Blai had become the director of the Tyler School of Art at Temple University prompting him to transfer there from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where he had been studying engineering. Greenberg graduated from the Tyler School of Art in 1939 as a member of the first class of Tyler's complete five-year program. He went on to study in Italy where he had his first solo show in Rome and exhibited in the twenty sixth Venice Biennale. In 1951, Greenberg was the winner of a prize from the Metropolitan Museum of Art's National Sculpture Exhibition. He returned to Philadelphia in 1953 and continued living and working in the city until his death in 1991.

Greenberg was known for his large public sculptures in Pennsylvania include Bear and Cub in the Philadelphia Zoo, the aluminum seal of Pennsylvania on the State Office Building, and Symbol of Progress located in the heart of Bethlehem, PA by the entrance of the Bethlehem Area Public Library. In addition to his studio work, Greenberg taught at the Oak Lane Country Day School, the Tyler School, the New Hope Fine Arts Workshop, the Philadelphia Museum of Art and the Fleisher Memorial.

Scope and Contents:

Varying Form:

Woodward Garden, formerly known as.

General:

The landscape design was planned for this property by the original owners and landscape architect James Frederick Dawson, consulting for 15 years before the half-timbered Jacobean Tudor mansion was finished. During that time Krisheim was an arboretum open to the public who could "respect the trees and shrubbery". Their vision was to create a garden suburb in the city comprising a densely wooded entrance with a long driveway leading to parkland in front of the house, sweeping lawns directly behind the house to give an unobstructed view of the Wissahickon Valley, formal gardens on three levels beside the house, more private lawn below as well as cutting and vegetable gardens, and woodland gardens. The massed trees and native Wissahickon schist used throughout for walls, paths and the house itself were to give the impression of a woodsy retreat rather than the great estate they actually built. The original 40 acre property has been reduced to 14 acres and beginning in 1988 features of the original Olmsted Brothers hardscape and plantings have been restored.

At the top level of the formal garden there is a long pool used for swimming laps, fed from the wall fountains above that are run by a contemporary recycling pump. Dogwood trees are espaliered on the Wissahickon schist wall behind the pool which has cantilevered steps so workers could climb in from the service area on the other side of the wall. A wooden arbor and benches in an alcove above that wall recently were rebuilt following the original Olmsted Brothers designs. The second level of the formal garden has a rectangular reflecting pool in the center planted with iris and tulips, with Walter K. Hancock's sculpture "Boy with Squirrel" placed on the rim of the pool. Four parterres surrounding the pool contain dogwood and crabapple trees with bordering boxwoods and clusters of arborvitae at the corners of the pool. The lowest level walled garden was designed for contemplation with a long bench and two large specimen euonymus trees. In the wall behind the bench a saying from the Songs of Solomon is carved: "Awake O North wind and come south. Blow upon my garden that the spices thereof may flow out." Walkways in the formal terraces are brick with a mosaic stone path at the upper level.

Other features include a log house copied from a vacation house in Wyoming under tall pine woodlands and a tea house at the end of a newly planted hydrangea walk at one side of the second formal terrace. Additional benches and Adirondack chairs are placed under the trees in the front park and around a fire pit. Artifacts from the Arts and Crafts era include a Moravian tile floor in the tea house depicting symbols of the zodiac, containers for planting, Samuel Yellin ironwork, and a bronze sculpture of a boy with a ball sited under the arbor, by Johan Selmer-Larsen.

Persons associated with the garden include Dr. George and Gertrude Woodward (former owners, 1895-1961); United Presbyterian Church (former owner, 1961-1983); Peabody & Stearns (architects, 1910-1911); James Frederick Dawson (1874-1941) (independent and with Olmsted Brothers) (landscape architect, 1895-1910); Samuel Yellin (ornamental ironwork designer); Henry Mercer (Moravian ornamental tiles in the tea house and house); Walter K. Hancock (1901-1998) (sculptor); Johan Selmer-Larsen (1876-1967) (sculptor); Robert Fleming (landscape designer, 1988-1989); Nina Schneider (landscape designer, 2011-2012).

Scope and Contents:

The folder includes a work sheet, narrative description, copy of newsletter (Center City Residents' Association, February 2005), and site plan.

General:

In what was originally the Kelly Brickyard, an original community garden thrives today. In 1981, an organized group of neighbors petitioned the city for permission to use the vacated lot for gardening. The city of Philadelphia, under Mayor Wilson Goode, approved the construction budget for a community garden designed by landscape architect John Hough, inlcuding a pergola, walkways, fountain, iron fencing, and gates.After entering, the visitor proceeds down a long allee lined with sour cherry trees. The walkway leads to a central pergola with a cistern fountain enclosed by a trellis covered with four different kinds of grape vines. There are 72 raised bed plots of various sizes. "Tomato Lane," a 27 x 2 foot swath of land for tomato plants, was added in 2006.

Persons and organizations associated with the garden include: City of Philadelphia (owner, 1981-present); Center City Residents Association (managers, 1981-present); John Hough (landscape architect, 1981); and Greg and Lil Leavitt (sculptors, 1981-1982).

Place:

Casamura (Philadelphia, Pennsylvania)

United States of America -- Pennsylvania -- Philadelphia County -- Philadelphia

Scope and Contents:

The folder includes worksheets, site plans, and additional information about the house and garden.

General:

Casamura, meaning house within walls, was created by noted Philadelphia architect John Sabatino. Sabatino acquired the site which contained the walled ruins of a nineteenth century Tudor mansion to design and build his residence. The ruins consist of large stone walls, stone columns, limestone lintels and a multistory arch, an intriguing template for the construction of a contemporary residence and garden.

The residence was constructed within the walls in a manner which bifurcate the site, thereby creating two garden opportunities. The highest walls and arch were preserved on the north and east perspective. A large courtyard, the piazza, was created and a hemispheric pond incorporated at the entrance to the residence. The piazza space landscape is highlighted by towering Cryptomeria japonica and Larix deciduas. Groves of Magnolia virginiana were incorporated with an under story planting of Buxus and Hydrangea. Arborvitae and specimen Acer japonica were used to apportion a smaller piazza space outside the master bedroom pavilion. A triad of century old Cedrus Atlantica were preserved outside the walled garden. The palate of this garden incorporated blue and purple hardscape paths highlighted by seasonal planting material.

The southern and western perspective was largely undeveloped until 1995. A plan was conceptualized to create a large pergola enclosed space reflecting the classic plan of the north and eastern perspective while introducing less formal plantings and an entirely different texture and palate. Inside the pergola space, three garden sections were created for kitchen, herbal and aroma gardens with Fig trees planted in each to unify texture. Climbing roses wrap around the interior columns then cross the cover of the pergola to meet Wisteria floribunda.

Other plantings include: Buddleia davidii (ensuring butterfly visitations), Lavender edging, yellow suffused with pink broom and generous use of terra cotta planters planted with pink, coral and white geraniums that provide architectural transition to the house. The landscape provides views from every room in the house and invites one into the garden.

Persons and firms associated with the garden include Georgia Doyle (landscape designer, 2000 to present), Joyce de Quantomora (sculptor, 2005).

General:

The estate began with an original purchase of twenty-five acres in 1910. The Lloyd's increased the size to seventy-five. Boxwood hedges surrounded the terrace edges. In 1929, there was a green garden; the perennial garden; a blue garden; rose garden; rock garden; and an iris garden. The design of the iris garden was a large bowl made by a succession of circular terraces. A housing development was later built on the property which destroyed the gardens.

Persons and organizations associated with the garden include: Mrs. Mary Helen Wingate Lloyd (former owner, 1987); Wilson Eyre (architect, 1910); Horace W. Sellers (architect); Mr. and Mrs. Horatio Gates Lloyd (planting design); Alfred Geiffert, Jr. (landscape architect for quarry garden)

General:

The 2500 acre property with rolling hills, woods and meadows had an English-style hunting lodge built in 1931 and a stud barn. In 1963 the owner added a new wing to the house, pool and porch, turning the hunting box into a residence. Several greenhouses were built for the owner's prize-winning plants that completed at the Philadelphia Flower show. The potted plants were placed around the swimming pool and around and inside the house. In 2014 the owner donated more than 500 plants to the Garden Club of Wilmington that were sold to raise funds.

Other features of the property included rail fences, a vegetable garden with a border of peonies and a nearby field of poppies, a root cellar, and the Doe Run River bordered by golden willows. Three bronze sculptures of Stewart Cheshire foxhounds by Clayton Bright were sited on the property.

Persons associated with the garden include: Mr. and Mrs. J. Stanley Reeve (former owners, c. 1920- ); Diana Strawbridge Crompton Wister (former owner, 1963-2015); George F. Shepard, Shepard & Sterns (architect, 1931); Walter Kremer Durham (1896-1978) (architect of addition, 1963); Owen Schmidt (landscape designer, 1963); Clayton Bright (sculptor).

General:

This 10 acre property was established in 1916 and features a wooded hillside that plunges into a natural creekside floodplain. Terraced gardens center around a renovated and expanded 1700s mill house and extensive masonry walls, steps, and walks. The property was founded by Fairman Furness, great-nephew of Philadelphia architect Frank Furness. Originally operating as Upper Banks Nurseries, it was known for displaying large, rare plants. Landscape architect Fletcher Steele was introduced to the Furness after developing the landscape design for Graham Wood's estate. Furness and Steele collaborated to design these garden spaces and highlight rare plants, shrubs, and trees amongst the varying levels of terraces located throughout. Although more than a 100-year-old property, the current owners have maintained its history and classic design features.

The property features many stone hardscape elements. The entrance to the property is marked by stone gateposts with hand forged metal Yucca plants, constructed by sculptor Samuel Yellin. Through the gate is an allee lined with tulip-poplars and ash trees. A stone hexagon folly is situated on the south lawn between Ridley Creek and the gardens, nestled between ferns and Petasites, and the greenhouse is filled with succulents and orchids. A hand-cut stone wall built by Furness in the 1920s protects the perennial garden overlooking the creek. A portion of the stone wall was completely re-laid in 2014. Stone steps lead from the lawn down into the walled garden. At the top of the steps are two stone rabbit sculptures that mark the entrance to this area, with a matching pair of wrought iron Rhododendron gates at the bottom. Spanish steps leading to multiple grassy levels are framed by Heptacodium and rhododendron in the summer. Marble obelisks frame a group of red urns at the top of the steps. The Upper Bank Nursery Office, a small stone building built during the 1940s, is still located on the property. Another stone wall was built to connect the office to the brick pathway to Ridley Creek. A large arch in the wall supports a stone Cheshire cat sculpture. A 100ft. masonry arch bridge, named the "Furness Bridge," spans Ridley Creek. In the 1950s, a waterfall was constructed across Ridley Creek just east of the Furness Bridge.

This property is home to several notable trees including three Pennsylvania State Champions that were measured in 2019 and represent the largest of each species found in the state. These trees include a Firmiana simplex, Magnolia cylindrica, and Magnolia macrophylla. Also deemed notable by PA Big Trees are the Cornus controversa, Cornus kousa, and Stewartia monodelpha. An expansive west lawn features flowering forsythia, weeping cherry trees, magnolia stellata, and Petasites in the spring. A grove of native bamboo is located next to seed-grown weeping cherry trees that hover over sentinels of cryptomeria and chamaecyparis. Magnola grandifloras stand in front of the hillside garden. These trees were initially purchased by Furness after being commissioned by Congress for the Magnolia Tribute Garden near Independence Hall in Philadelphia, but remained on the property after funds fell through.

Persons associated with the garden include: Fairman Furness (former owner and garden designer (1916-1971); Wirt Thompson (former owner, 1971-2010); Fletcher Steele (landscape architect, 1930s); Pierre S. du Pont (horticulturist, 1920s and 1930s); Wirt Thompson (horticulturist, 1970s and 1980s).

This property is featured in Joseph R. Spadea, "Treated Like Family: Designers Go Extra Mile to Rehabilitate Old Pa. Spans," Roads and Bridges. (November 5, 2015).

Winterberry Garden (Haverford, Pennsylvania)

Scope and Contents:

25 digital images (2022) and 1 file folder.

General:

This suburban garden on 8/10 of an acre was designed to be multipurpose for family, dogs and entertaining. Its features include a swimming pool and seating area, a 15 by 13 feet greenhouse attached to the house, a partially sheltered terrace used for outdoor dining and entertaining, a generous perennial border with seasonal bloom, and a fenced off working area with vegetable and herb gardens and a shed and woodpile. The stone and siding house is 1950's Pennsylvania farmhouse revival style with a circular driveway, with an extension added in 1980. The front garden is planted with winterberries (Ilex verticillate) and an espaliered magnolia. Entered through a picket fence the pool garden alongside the house has native shrubs and ground covers, with arborvitae planted for privacy from the neighbor's driveway. The greenhouse, which faces the pool, is filled with hanging baskets and containers in winter. A wrought iron arch with clematis and roses is passed under to reach the rear of the house where there is a terrace and another paved seating area. In summer there are hanging baskets of fuchsias and begonias and large planters filled with annuals.

The 10 by 50 feet wrap around perennial border, which can be viewed from the terrace and from the kitchen is planted with tulips, aquilegia, nepeta, day lilies and astilbe for May-June bloom. For September-November the border is filled with chrysanthemum, nicotiana and anemones. Separated by another picket fence the working garden has a lawn originally for dog control. An 8-foot high mesh panel on one side has been effective for deer control as it blocks their entrance point. Vegetables grown include asparagus, lettuce, beans, cucumbers, peppers, eggplant and onions with space for a flower cutting garden. Smaller pot plants either sit on rolling wooden steps next to the tool house or in a decorative iron support affixed to a side of the house.
