Atop picturesque bluffs above the Ohio River, an outstanding collection
of estates represents the work of landscape architects from 1875 to 1938.
This textbook of landscape design of the "County Place Era"
includes the works of the Olmsted firm, Carrere and Hastings, Bryant
Fleming, Marian
Coffin, and others. Today, a transportation study projects construction
of a monumental bridge spanning the Ohio River which would split this
700-acre pastoral landscape. If the bridge is built, the continuity of
this three-mile long collection of 21 contiguous estates would be lost
forever.
