Country Place Era

The Country Place Era was a period, from about 1890 to 1930,^[1] of American landscape architecture design during which wealthy Americans commissioned extensive gardens at their country estates, emulating European gardens that the Americans had seen in their European travels.^[2] An example is Castle Hill in Ipswich, Massachusetts.^[3]

Landscape architects that were involved included Charles Gillette, Frederick Law Olmsted, Charles Adam Platt, and Beatrix Farrand.^[2] Marian Cruger Coffin, an early female architect, was another participant^[4] as well as Ellen Shipman and Beatrix Farrand.^[5]
