After receiving a master’s degree in landscape architecture from Harvard’s Lawrence Scientific School in 1907, Harold Hill Blossom spent the first 12 years of his career with Olmsted Brothers. He began by working under principals Percival Gallagher, John Charles Olmsted, and his brother-in-law James Frederick Dawson. With an artistic eye and a good knowledge of horticulture, he designed gardens for numerous estate projects in the Pacific Northwest, in Newport, Rhode Island and on Long Island for many of the country’s most significant financial leaders.
