Provenance
This collection was transferred to the Special Collections on July
14, 1988, by Jack Robertson, Fiske Kimball Fine Arts
Library, the University of Virginia.
This collection contains 175 architectural drawings,
blueprints, and plans, ca. 1913-1942, from the office of New
York landscape architect Bryant Fleming, chiefly for projects
in New York, Michigan, Tennessee, and Ohio. Also present are
drawings and blueprints done for the Finger Lakes State Parks
Commission, Ithaca, New York, and Thousand Islands State Parks
Commission, Watertown, New York.
Most of this collection is housed in oversize folders but
there are two legal size folders of material. This material
consists of miscellaneous architectural drawings by various
architects other than Fleming, 1913-1921, apparently submitted
in some type of competition. The categories of competition
include designs of country estates, island yacht club,
gardens, motor inns, terminal gardens, central motif gardens,
civic expositions, city residences, and an American
university. The other folder contains some sketches of
"Fernleigh," Cooperstown, New York, belonging to Stephen C.
Clark, by Bryant Fleming (1925).
