Scope and content
ca. 1935. John Philip and Anna Weyerhaeuser estate "Haddaway Hall", F.B. Meade and James Hamilton, of Cleveland, Ohio, Architects. View of tree lined driveway and gardens. The 5 1/2 acre gardens were designed by the Olmsted brothers, John Frederick and Charles, to resemble an English country estate. The naturalistic park was rooted in the idea that the gardens should be a civilized and uplifting alternative to the crushing inhumanity of the industrial city. Names given to segments of this park-like design were the Blue Garden, the Walled Garden, English Rose Garden and Heather-and-Juniper Terrace. (TNT 5/30/1923; Landmarks Vol.2.
