<br /> Gardens(1904), Platt's work transformed high-style landscape design for country estates and public buildings at the turn of the
<br /> 20th century.
<br /> Platt's architecture career began in the early 201h century, notable for its grand country houses, educational campuses and
<br /> buildings, the Smithsonian's Freer Gallery of Art in Washington, DC, and a few commercial buildings. Platt was a trustee of the
<br /> illustrious American Academy in Rome beginning in 1919, and its president from 1928 until his death. Further research is
<br /> recommended to document the connection between Platt and the Seavers and the creation of this property.
