Hare (1860-1938) and S. Herbert Hare (1888-1960) launched their Kansas City firm in 1910, they founded what would become the most influential landscape architecture and planning practice in the Midwest. Over time, their work became increasingly far-ranging, in both its geographical scope and its project types. Between 1924 and 1955, Hare \u0026amp; Hare commissions included fifty-four cemeteries in fifteen states; numerous city and state parks (seventeen in Missouri alone); more than fifteen subdivisions in Salt Lake City; the Denver neighborhood of Belcaro Park; the picturesque grounds of the Christian Science Sanatorium in Chestnut Hill, Massachusetts; and the University of Texas at Austin among fifty-one college and university campuses. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eHare \u0026amp; Hare: \u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eLandscape Architects and City Planners \u003c\/i\u003eCarol Grove and Cydney Millstein document the extraordinary achievements of this little-known firm and weave them into a narrative that spans from the birth of the late nineteenth-century \"modern cemetery movement\" to midcentury modernism. Through the figures of Sidney, a \"homespun\" amateur geologist who built a rustic family retreat called Harecliff, and his son Herbert, an urbane Harvard-trained landscape architect who traveled Europe and lived in a modern apartment building, Grove and Millstein chronicle the growth of the field from its amorphous Victorian beginnings to its coalescence as a profession during the first half of the twentieth century. \u003ci\u003eHare \u0026amp; Hare \u003c\/i\u003eprovides a unique and valuable parallel to studies of prominent East and West Coast landscape architecture firms--one that expands the reader's understanding of the history of American landscape architecture practice.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCarol Grove (Author) \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e CAROL GROVE is an adjunct assistant professor of American art at the University of Missouri, Columbia and the author of \u003ci\u003eHenry Shaw's Victorian Landscapes: The Missouri Botanical Garden and Tower Grove Park\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eCydney Millstein (Author) \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e CYDNEY MILLSTEIN, founder and principal of Architectural \u0026amp; Historical Research in Kansas City, is the coauthor, with Carol Grove, of \u003ci\u003eHouses of Missouri, 1870-1940\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"University of Georgia Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50328927863058,"sku":"9780820354811","price":43.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_45487ba8-73fc-40a9-8bff-572f982d04f1.jpg?v=1727754816","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/hare-hare-landscape-architects-and-city-planners-9780820354811","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
