Ernest W. Bowditch of Brookline, Massachusetts, laid out Rockefeller Park. One of his earliest works included laying out new paths and gardens in Boston's Mt. Auburn Cemetery in the 1870s, and he is also known for designing the gardens at the Breakers in Newport, Rhode Island. As a frequent associate of the famed Olmsted firm, for which he sometimes worked as a surveyor and draftsman, Bowditch imbibed Olmstedian planning principles, which he went on to apply both in Rockefeller Park and for developer Patrick Calhoun's Euclid Heights allotment in Cleveland Heights. | Source: Essex Institute Historical CollectionsDownload Original File
