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\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Carol Grove, Cydney Millstein\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0820354813\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780820354811\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Library of American Landscape History\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/01\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.20h x 9.00w x 0.90d","brand":"Carol Grove","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43988295614719,"sku":"9780820354811","price":41.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_844ea984-999a-42f2-89d1-95448d1adefb.jpg?v=1683293730","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/hare-hare-landscape-architects-carol-grove-9780820354811","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
