Happy Birthday!
Frederick Law Olmstead Sr
Frederick Law Olmsted Sr., Father of American landscape architecture born 26 April 1822. His influence, and later by his sons, has continued to provide those places to relax and reflect -
Architect of such notable places such as Central Park in New York City, Chicago’s South Park, Brooklyn’s Prospect Park, he also designed the US Capitol’s grounds.
Olmsted also provided the seminal priming of the National Park Service and Yosemite National Park.
