Barbara Fealy landscape architectural records, 1966-1993

Barbara Bertha Vorse Fealy (1903-2000) was born in Salt Lake City, Utah to Albert Justin and Bettie Vorse. Albert Vorse owned one of Utah’s largest wholesale nurseries, and Barbara grew up assisting with his operation. In 1921, Fealy attended the University of Illinois to study landscape architecture. Fealy ultimately started her own firm in 1929 in Salt Lake City, Utah. In 1947, she moved her firm to Beaverton, Oregon and spent the remainder of her life in the Pacific Northwest producing landscape architectural designs for both private, residential clients and commercial projects. The Barbara Fealy landscape architectural records include her firm’s architectural drawings, client files, photographs, and notes.

Drawings also include designs for Timberline Lodge (Government Camp, Oregon), the Leach Botanical Garden (Portland, Oregon), and Yurigawa Park (Sapporo, Japan), among many others.
