- Summary
- The Frederic H. Leubuscher garden portfolios include images that document Leubuscher's professional landscape and garden design work. The collection includes photographs of awards received by Leubuscher for a number of garden show exhibits that he designed as well as photostatic copies of a booklet about artificial pools he wrote that was published by the Fels Engineering Corp. of Essex Fells, New Jersey.
- Biographical/Historical note
- Landscape architect Frederic H. Leubuscher (1906-1995) studied civil and mechanical engineering at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institution, but his interest in landscape design arose after he created an artificial pool and stream on his father's estate in Essex Fells, NJ. Leubuscher became well-known throughout New England, thanks to his many award-winning exhibits at the International Flower Show and his 6 gold medals from the American Rock Garden Society and the Garden Club of America. He retired from the practice of landscape design in 1945 and went on to design drafting tools for Keuffel and Esser Co.
