Frederick Law Olmsted's House -- A Dream of A Visit in Brookline, Massachusetts

I am posting this for two reasons, first, it is a National Historic site, and second, I always wanted to see it. Unfortunately, it was in the process of closing and we only saw one room in 2013. It was still closed in 2016. The park and house are now open, see HERE.
Walkway to the house. The tree by the rock was planted by Frederick Law Olmsted.

"About the Olmsted Legacy

Beginning in 1857 with the design for Central Park in New York City, Frederick Law Olmsted (1822-1903), his sons and successor firm created designs for more than 6,000 landscapes across North America, including many of the world's most important parks.  Olmsted’s remarkable design legacy includes Prospect Park in Brooklyn, Boston’s Emerald Necklace, Biltmore Estate in Asheville, North Carolina, Mount Royal in Montreal, the grounds of the United States Capitol and the White House, and Washington Park, Jackson Park and the World’s Columbian Exposition of 1893 in Chicago.  Olmsted’s sons were founding members of the American Society of Landscape Architects and played an influential role in the creation of the National Park Service." The article is taken from the Olmsted website.


Great enclosed porch photos.




I was delighted to see Wisteria still growing, our visit was on June 30th.

Below is a page from the "The Master List of Design Projects of the Olmsted Firm 1857–1979," and the visitors center allowed me to copy the section for Lowell.
The last entry above is for Tyler Park, Lowell, MA, a 5-minute walk from my house. See photos below.
