Frederick Law Olmsted, the creative force behind Manhattan’s Central Park and the grounds of American icons like the White House and U.S. Capitol, is widely regarded as the founder of landscape architecture. More than 150 years later, his home and workshop, now a National Historic Site, offer a glimpse into the ideas and craftsmanship that defined his career.

Ensuring Olmsted’s legacy endures, Page developed a long-term strategic plan to restore and upgrade the site, including the invaluable archives of the Olmsted Firm. Over a decade, we transformed his home and office into a dynamic hub for public learning and scholarship. A newly designed, climate-controlled archival vault now protects his historic drawings and records, while an upgraded research room safeguards artifacts and expands access for scholars and visitors alike.

Through thoughtful restoration, we’re helping to preserve Olmsted’s impact for future generations—keeping his groundbreaking work alive and accessible.
