- catalog description "Arthur A. Shurcliff (born Shurtleff) was educated at MIT and Harvard's Bussey Institute. He apprenticed at the Olmsted office until opening an independent practice in 1904. In 1899-1901 he assisted Frederick Law Olmsted, Jr. in establishing Harvard's School of Landscape Architecture, the first professional program of its kind. Perhaps best known as the landscape designer of Colonial Willamsburg, Shurcliff's practice encompassed not only private gardens and landscape restorations , but also the planning of public parks, roadways and other recreational facilities. He served as a consultant to the Boston Park Dept. for several decades and as chief landscape architect for the Metropolitan District Commission. An accomplished essayist, inventor and painter, Shurcliff's interests in American History, traditional landscape and horticulture richly informed his professional practice. He was a founding member of the American City Planning Institute and was elected as a fellow of the American Society of Landscape Architects in 1905; he served as ASLA's president, 1928-1932. Sidney N. Shurcliff (who received both his undergraduate and graduate education as a landscape architect at Harvard) joined his father in practice in the 1930's. Shurcliff continued his father's practice and expanded its scope; the firm was ultimately to be known as Shurcliff, Merrill and Footit. An enthusiastic sportsman and filmmaker, Sidney Shurcliff was also notably active as a member of the American Society of Landscape Architects.".
