- catalog description "John C. Olmsted (1852-1920), sequentially nephew, stepson and business partner of Frederick Law Olmsted (1822-1903). Trained at Yale Scientific School, graduating in 1875, he apprenticed with the elder Olmsted in professional practice as a landscape architect. During the subsequent three decades, the Olmsted firm became established as the premier landscape design office in the United States. Throughout this period, John Charles Olmsted assumed responsibility for the administration of the office while traveling on design work throughout the United States and Canada. Joined in practice in the 1890s by Charles Eliot (1859-1897) and his stepbrother Frederick Law Olmsted, Jr. (1870-1957), the volume and quality of John Charles Olmsted's contribution to the firm's projected designs, realized works and reputation is incalculable. Among Olmsted's most significant work are park systems developed for Portland [Oregon], Seattle, Spokane, and Charleston, as well as New Orleans' Audubon Park. He continued park planning initiated by the senior Olmsted in Boston, Buffalo, Louisville and Chicago, among numerous other sites. Active in professional associations, Olmsted was also a founding member of the American Society of Landscape Architects.".
