In 2004 LALH launched a collaborative survey project to recover information about the career of Warren H. Manning (1860–1938), an important American landscape architect and planner who worked in almost every state in the nation and whose methods and projects influenced many aspects of these professions. Using a unique research model developed for this project, the LALH initiative has successfully recovered significant information about Manning’s “lost” landscapes.
The newly acquired data provides a basis for an illustrated book that will support preservation and rehabilitation of Manning’s extant landscape designs and provide useful context for further research into his work. The publication will be suitable for interested general readers, students, landscape architects, planners, and preservation specialists.
Please consider making a donation to support this project. The Manning project owes its progress thus far to support from LALH members and from foundations, including Viburnum Trilobum Fund of the New York Community Trust; William Gwinn and Elizabeth Ring Mather Fund (Cleveland, Ohio); Stanley Smith Horticultural Trust; International Music and Art Foundation; and Trustees of the Library of American Landscape History.
