- General Info
- Elizabeth Lord (1887-1976) and Edith Schryver (1901-1984) were the first women landscape architects to open a practice in the Pacific Northwest in 1929. They were trained at the renowned Lowthorpe School in Massachusetts in the classically inspired Beaux Arts tradition of design that dominated the early 20th century. Gaiety Hollow, located in the Gaiety Hill Historic District in Salem, Oregon was designed by Lord and Schryver in 1932 as their home and office. Gaiety Hollow is a true reflection of their aesthetic and exemplifies their design principles in a Pacific Northwest landscape. In 2015, the Lord & Schryver Conservancy acquired Gaiety Hollow and is restoring the gardens and opening them to the public. We offer informal "open garden" visit days and guided tours from March-September.Elizabeth Lord (1887-1976) and Edith Schryver (1901-1984) were the first women landscape architects to open a practice in the Pacific Northwest in 1929.
