The Evolution of Windy Gates Estate and its Olmsted Gardens (Virtual Talk)
Virtual MD, United StatesThe Windy Gates country estate of the Jenkins family from 1882 to 1981 was the centerpiece of a much larger property that in its heyday, lolled down the rolling hills stretching along Lake Avenue from Roland Avenue to Falls Road. On the heels of their work on the Roland Park neighborhood to the south, the Olmsted Brothers were employed from 1902 through 1906, to do extensive landscaping design for the property. This presentation by Thom Rinker will draw on the extensive material to share unique insights into this Baltimore County treasure that still retains a quiet serenity and gentility over the landscape.
