Colonial Terraces (Newburgh NY) - by Henry Wright
Comments (4) | Add a Comment
Hi I am working on something similar for our neighborhood which was designed by Henry Wright in 1918. So far my research has found that before Colonial Terraces in Newburgh, NY he did several neighborhoods in St. Louis area. All based on the english garden concept.
He then went on to design other neighborhoods such as Sunnyside Gardens in NY with his partner Clarence Stein. Radburn was their biggest project and most famous.
Thanks for the photos it is great to see the similarities in the neighborhoods. Our neighborhoods website id www.ctna.info
Thanks

I am indeed aware of Clarence Stein's work on Sunnyside in Queens. But it is arguable whether that is a garden city or merely an apartment development. Neither Stein nor the press that he received believed that the Sunnyside development (or his later work in the Bronx) were the full implementation of the "garden city" concept as Radburn was.

The same landscape architect who designed Radburn also designed Sunnyside, NY... four years earlier. Your's is not the 'first' garden city.... sorry....
