The book explores the intertwined lives and careers of Henry Hobson Richardson and Frederick Law Olmsted, two pivotal figures in American design during the post-Civil War era. Olmsted, known for his visionary parks like Central Park, and Richardson, celebrated for his architectural masterpieces, transformed how Americans interacted with their environments. Their contrasting personalities—Olmsted's reserved nature and Richardson's passionate demeanor—did not hinder their collaboration, which led to innovative designs that shaped urban and suburban landscapes, leaving a lasting legacy on public and private spaces.
