Project
AP075.S1.1958.PR02
Description:
This project series documents Cornelia Hahn Oberlander's landscape project for her own residence on Olympic street, in Vancouver. Known as the Tick-Tack-Toe House, the Oberlanders designed the residence themselves in 1958-1959, as well as later additions in 1966-1967. The residence is a two-storey house, with the main living area all on the second floor, while the entrance and a part of the utility core is on the ground level. For minimal maintenance and to provide a dry space to play during rainy days, the landscaping included a paved perimeter around the central core. The landscape design included a wall on the west side of the site and tree planting along Olympic Street to block the view and the noise from the street. The project series is made up predominantly of plans of the residence, such as elevations, sections, details and floor plans, and working drawings for the landscaping, including landscape plans, and elevations and details for the garden wall. The project is also documented through photographs of the garden, and exterior and interior views of the house itself. Source: Herrington, Susan.

Description:
This project series documents Cornelia Hahn Oberlander's landscape design for the Mill Creek Public Housing Complex between 40th Street, Aspen Street, and Fairmount Avenue in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Oberlander worked on this project in the early 1950s as Dan Kiley's associate. They both were consulting for Louis Kahn's office, Kahn, McAllister, Braik, & Day. The first phase of the project consisted of a complex of three seventeen-storey apartment towers accomodating 218 units on a four-acre site. The landscape design consisted of a system of pedestrian areas to connect the site with the city, including a central alley linking Fairmount Avenue to a common green space. Trees to provide shade were planted around the parking spaces and the housing towers. The project was completed in 1954, but most of the landscaping by Kiley and Oberlander was never realized. The Mill Creek complex was demolished in 2002 to make space for the new low-rise public housing development. The project series contains only two reprographic copies of landscape plans.

DR1987:0865:001-023
Description:
- This group of correspondence, clippings and other documents was compiled by the architect, Lloyd Wright, for his own record while he was pursuing the commission for Boeing Airport, Burbank, Los Angeles County, California. He was not successful in obtaining the commission. The correspondence includes letters to and from Lloyd Wright, drafts for and carbon copies of these same letters, and telegrams to Lloyd Wright. Other documents include three newspaper clippings, an estimate and notes. Of the clippings, one reports on the beginning of work on Boeing Airport, the second announces a new meteorological station for pilots in the San Fernando Valley, and includes details of other aviation industry investments in the area, and the third is another account of the initiation of Boeing Airport. The latter clipping is folded up with a sheet noting the address of Lloyd St. John. Although the estimate is not identified by project name, it was probably prepared for Lloyd Wright's Boeing Airport proposal, which included an airport, manufacturing plant and other amenities, all mentioned in the estimate.
