AMERICAN MASTERPIECES 



Number Eleven. One other example 

 of city design should be given, and for this 

 purpose I choose Harrisburg, Pa. Here 

 there has been a comprehensive design 

 prepared by one man, so that Mr. Warren 

 Manning may be credited with this par- 

 ticular masterpiece. Here a city of moder- 

 ate size, favorably situated and enjoying a 

 very attractive topography, has been 

 handled in a thoroughly workmanlike 

 manner. The designs provide for the 

 probable development of the city in the 

 future, providing not only for its need 

 in the way of landscape, but also for many 

 practical conveniences. These things take 

 into account political and social require- 

 ments of the city to a large degree and pro- 

 vide for them in a highly satisfactory 

 manner. 



There are a great many other pieces 

 of work in America that have been thor- 

 oughly well done. It would be pleasant 

 to describe, analyze or criticise hundreds 

 of them. This will not be possible now, and 

 doubtless it is not necessary. However, I 

 have found it worth while to give my 

 students a list of successful works of land- 

 scape zurchitecture for their further study
