Fletcher Steele (1885-1971) was a prominent landscape architect in Rochester. A pioneer in his field, Steele designed more than seven hundred gardens and wrote three books and over one hundred articles. Steele's practice was almost exclusively devoted to the making of private gardens, few of which survive. Many of his commissions spanned several decades and involved close relationships with his clients. This collection includes Steele's correspondence and documentation related to individual projects, as well as estimates, bills, etc. The main collection of Fletcher Steele papers is in the F. Franklin Moon Library, SUNY, Syracuse. The Library of Congress also holds some of his materials.

Frederick Law Olmsted and others saw the landscape as it was and enhanced it, instead of imposing rigid design upon it. Groundbreaking landscape architects Beatrix Farrand and Fletcher Steele, among others, were brought to Maine by patrons, and the resulting public parks, campuses, institutional grounds, and private estates remain a priceless legacy. Drawn from a 10-year survey conducted by the Maine Olmsted Alliance, this book showcases those landscapes and celebrates their history and legacy.
