The community of Riverside, Illinois, was designed in 1869 by renowned landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted and his architect partner Calvert Vaux. Their unique design inspired the Avery Coonley Estate, a rare joint effort by Frank Lloyd Wright and landscape architect Jens Jensen. At the center of the estate sits the Gardener's Cottage, a small but unassuming masterpiece built for the estate's gardener and his wife.
In this book, current owner and gardening writer Cathy Jean Maloney records her discoveries and personal reflections on living in the Gardener's Cottage with her family. Maloney describes the cottage's beginnings, providing biographical background and design insight into the house itself and Riverside's key creators. She also highlights the often overlooked beauty of the cottage and illustrates how it is emblematic of Wright and Jensen's holistic Prairie Style approach to building and landscape architecture. |
