#OTD Ruth Harvey, American #Landscape #Architect, is born.
A protégé of #BeatrixFarrand, Ruth joined the design team for #Dumbarton Oaks.
Ruth worked on the Green Garden Inscription - a tribute to Beatrix on a stone tablet - for Mrs. Bliss.
Ruth's Dumbarton masterpiece was the #Pebble #Garden - a space reimagined from a tennis court & inspired by the Villa I Tatti in #Florence, #Italy.
The garden features the Bliss family motto:
Quod Severis Metes
You reap what you sow.

In the 1992 movie Sneakers they methodical go through the 4 Bridges that cross the San Francisco Bay. They strike each bridge to determine where a character was taken. The bridges were the Golden Gate, The Bay, San Mateo and the Dumbarton. Here are all 4 bridges and 3/4ths are from the air. #Golden Gate #BayBridge #Dumbarton #SanMateo #Bridge #bridges #SFBayArea #landscape #transportation Movie Scene here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KuIheGaiFLM
