Many people think that Pequot Library’s building was designed by Henry Hobson Richardson and that our landscape was designed by Fredrick Law Olmstead; however, neither man played such a role in the library’s history. The stories suggesting their involvement shine a light on our founding.
In Architects of an American Landscape, historian Hugh Howard explores the friendship and collaborations of two of the great masters of 19th-century design: Richardson and Olmsted.
This program is produced in conjunction with our exhibition A Community Treasure: Pequot Library Turns 135, which opens on Oct. 2.
