Country Place Era

Castle Hill, completed in 1928

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 travels abroad.[2] Prime examples include Biltmore near Asheville, North Carolina, Woodlea in Sleepy Hollow, New York, and Castle Hill in Ipswich, Massachusetts.[3] Landscape architects that were involved at Castle Hill 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 was Ellen Shipman.[5]
