[Kathryn McGrath]

Stacy,

My only example comes from Ohio: Armco Park in Warren County was
constructed by Armco Steel Company in Butler County and, if implemented,
included an Olmsted-planned landscape (#10025) after 1956. Sources online
suggest the park predated this and began in 1934. As planned in 1956, the
golf course included 18 holes and 5,907 yards.

Searching the Olmsted files might provide more examples. The example above
includes a golf course but was called *Armco Association Park* on their
master plan and categorized within *Country Clubs, Resorts, Hotels, Clubs *at
OlmstedOnline.og.

Kind regards,
Kathryn McGrath
