The Frick Collection, Architects Detail Site Plan RP/1/14/15/15

A dyeline plan of the Frick Garden drawn up by the architect Harry Van Dyke (job no. 7305, scale ¼” 1’-0’, drawing no. A-2).

One of Russell Page’s few public commissions, his design for the 70th Street garden at The Frick Collection, a museum close to Central Park in Manhattan’s East Side, is an excellent example of his ability to develop his plan around the particularities of the site. Constructed in 1977, it still survives to this day. Its popularity was made evident in 2015 when public protests successfully halted plans to demolish it.
