ASHLEY WRIGHT MCINTYRE LECTURE SERIES<br />
ESTABLISHED AT THE CHEROKEE GARDEN LIBRARY<br />
By Carter Morris, CGL President<br />
The Cherokee Garden Library recently<br />
received a very moving and generous<br />
gift. In searching for a meaningful<br />
way to commemorate Ashley Wright McIntyre,<br />
Raymond McIntyre and his children,<br />
Constance Ashford McIntyre and F. Raymond<br />
McIntyre IV, have created an endowment at<br />
the Cherokee Garden Library in her memory.<br />
The funds will be used to support occasional<br />
<strong>lecture</strong>s and programs presented by the<br />
Cherokee Garden Library and will be called<br />
the Ashley Wright McIntyre Lecture Series.<br />
Raymond McIntyre has graciously agreed<br />
to serve on the newly-formed Cherokee<br />
Garden Library Programming Committee<br />
that is ably led by Jane Whitaker. This group<br />
will recommend speakers for the Ashley<br />
Wright McIntyre Lectures. The inaugural<br />
event will be held at the Cherokee Garden<br />
Library on Wednesday evening, October 21,<br />
2009. Please plan to attend this very special<br />
<strong>lecture</strong>. Details will be forthcoming.<br />
In addition, the endowment is open-ended,<br />
meaning contributions can be made to the<br />
Ashley Wright McIntyre Endowment of the<br />
Cherokee Garden Library at any time.<br />
As the fund grows, future programs will<br />
be enhanced.<br />
Ashley McIntyre was a devoted wife, mother,<br />
daughter, sister, and friend. Over the years<br />
she shared her many talents and interests<br />
with the Cherokee Garden Club and the<br />
Cherokee Garden Library. Her garden and<br />
home were always elegant, warm, and<br />
welcoming. Her style, grace, and wit are<br />
missed by many.<br />
Ashley Wright McIntyre<br />
Following are three tributes by friends and<br />
family of Ashley Wright McIntyre that help<br />
express how truly special she was. What an<br />
honor it is for the Cherokee Garden Library<br />
to host <strong>lecture</strong>s in memory of this <strong>Atlanta</strong><br />
native and garden lover. We will take this<br />
trust seriously and present programs of the<br />
highest standard. And each event will<br />
provide another opportunity to recall our<br />
happy memories of Ashley.
REMEMBERANCES OF ASHLEY WRIGHT MCINTYRE<br />
Words from Ashley’s Friend, Lisa Loudermilk deGolian (Mrs. Michael deGolian)<br />
“Legend says that hummingbirds float free of time, carrying our hopes for love, joy, and celebration. Hummingbirds open<br />
our eyes to the wonder of the world and inspire us to open our hearts to loved ones and friends. Like a hummingbird,<br />
we should aspire to hover and to savor each moment as it passes, embrace all that life has to offer and to celebrate<br />
the joy of everyday. The hummingbird’s delicate grace reminds us that life is rich, beauty is everywhere, every<br />
personal connection has meaning, and laughter is life’s sweetest creation.” –Author Unknown<br />
Anyone who knew Ashley will attest to her creative spirit, her incredible sense of humor, and her fiercely-guarded<br />
positive attitude. To be in her company meant lots of smiles and laughter. She lived life with grace, simple elegance,<br />
and appreciation for all things beautiful. Because of its legend, Ashley chose the hummingbird as a metaphor for<br />
life. She chose to savor and celebrate the joy in every day, spending much of that joyful time in her own garden.<br />
There, she created handmade hummingbird feeders to encourage them to share the day with her. When given the<br />
choice, Ashley would always choose a garden picnic over a meal at a fine restaurant. For what was to be her final<br />
earthly birthday, we celebrated the day picnicking in the beautiful gardens of the Honorable Anne Cox Chambers.<br />
Mrs. Chambers knew how much Ashley appreciated the garden’s elegance and natural beauty. The day was the<br />
ultimate gift to us all.<br />
Words from Ashley’s Mother, Constance Ashford Wright (Mrs. Tate Wright, Jr.)<br />
Ashley was every garden club’s ideal member. She enjoyed the meetings, arranging flowers, and watching them grow.<br />
Her decorating skills spilled over into landscaping her grounds and those of a family farm in Watkinsville, Georgia.<br />
She loved to entertain her family and friends at the farm, and was thrilled when her daughter, Ashford, wished to<br />
celebrate her twenty-first birthday at the family farm with friends, fried chicken, a band, and lots of flowers.<br />
Words from Ashley’s Sister, Constance Wright Howell (Mrs. Richard S. Howell)<br />
I remember my sister Ashley saying to me one day, “Connie, you have such nice friends.” When I realized she was<br />
referring specifically to my friends in the Cherokee Garden Club, I proposed her for membership. Over the years,<br />
we shared some great garden club moments together. We laughed and muddled through a mass arrangement for the<br />
Southeastern Flower Show. She adored floral design and was soon engaged to use her expertise for floral<br />
arrangements for Seeger’s Restaurant. Every week she would arrive at Seeger’s with cut flowers to create beautiful<br />
arrangements—one large and many smaller ones as well. During those years, my quince, Yoshino cherries, daffodils,<br />
and anything else blooming was reserved for Ashley’s arrangements, no questions asked! Many a day, I would arrive<br />
home and an entire shrub had been deflowered. We also collaborated on flower arranging projects at the Cathedral<br />
of St. Philip. She became one of their best arrangers. We went to Cherokee Garden Club meetings together and even<br />
represented the club at a Garden Club of America Annual Meeting. I cherished every moment.<br />

MAJOR ACQUISITION IN HONOR OF ROBERT LEE MAYS<br />
With gratitude for the generosity of the Besse<br />
Johnson and George Blanton Allen Memorial<br />
Foundation, the Cherokee Garden Library is<br />
delighted to have been able to acquire a seminal historic<br />
volume in honor of Robert Lee Mays, a Cherokee Garden<br />
Library Board Member and valued advisor. For many years,<br />
the Garden Library has been searching for John Buonarotti<br />
Papworth’s Rural Residences consisting of a Series of<br />
Designs for Cottages, Decorated Cottages, Small Villas,<br />
and other Ornamental Buildings, accompanied by Hints on<br />
Situation, Construction, Arrangement and Decoration, in<br />
the Theory & Practice of Rural Architecture; interspersed<br />
with Some Observations on Landscape Gardening<br />
(London: Printed for R. Ackermann, by J. Diggens, 1818).<br />
The Cherokee Garden Library already owns the other<br />
significant Papworth volume: Hints on Ornamental<br />
Gardening consisting of a Series of Designs for Garden<br />
Buildings, Useful and Decorative Gates, Fences, Railroads,<br />
&c: accompanied by Observations on the Principles and<br />
Theory of Rural Improvement, interspersed with Occasional<br />
Remarks on Rural Architecture (London: Printed for R.<br />
Ackermann, by J. Diggens, 1823).<br />
Born in London in 1775, John Buonarotti Papworth was a<br />
prolific English architect, designer of landscapes, and town<br />
planner. In addition to laying out many significant properties,<br />
Papworth was a designer of myriad artifacts, including<br />
furniture, textiles, and other decorative elements. He also<br />
designed conservatories, entrance gates, coach houses,<br />
stables, and the Gothic summer house at Claremont,<br />
Surrey (1816), for Prince Leopold of Saxe-Coburg and<br />
later Princess Charlotte Augusta. From 1817 to 1820,<br />
he prepared designs for the Park and Palace at Bad<br />
Cannstadt, near Stuttgart, for King Wilhelm I. Although<br />
only part of the Park was realized, Papworth was<br />
honored with the title of “Architect to the King of<br />
Württemberg.” Papworth was responsible for many<br />
London shop fronts and other buildings, and was a pioneer<br />
in the use of iron for construction purposes. His monument<br />
to Lieutenant- Colonel Sir Alexander Gordon on the field<br />
at Waterloo, Belgium in 1815 was an early example of a<br />
broken column used as a memorial. He was a founding<br />
member of the Institute of British Architects. He contributed<br />
frequently to Rudolph Ackermann’s Repository of Arts<br />
Papers, entitled Architectural Hints. They were republished<br />
as Rural Residences consisting of a Series of Designs for<br />
Cottages, Decorated Cottages, Small Villas, and other<br />
Ornamental Buildings . . . (1818), and in 1823 he<br />
published designs for garden buildings as Hints on<br />
Ornamental Gardening.<br />
Today, Papworth’s volumes are studied extensively in<br />
Europe and the United States by architects and landscape<br />
architects. The addition of Papworth’s Rural Residences to<br />
the Cherokee Garden Library greatly strengthens the<br />
collection while honoring an important supporter and<br />
advisor to the Garden Library.<br />

EDWARD L. DAUGHERTY, A SOUTHERN LANDSCAPE ARCHITECT<br />
EXHIBITION EXTENDED BY POPULAR DEMAND!<br />
Sketch of Garden at Henrietta Egleston Hospital<br />
for Children, 1958, <strong>Atlanta</strong>, Georgia, from the<br />
Cherokee Garden Library collection<br />
The Cherokee Garden Library is pleased to announce<br />
the exhibition, Edward L. Daugherty, A Southern<br />
Landscape Architect: Exploring New Forms, has<br />
been extended to October 10, 2009. The exhibition traces<br />
the seminal works in landscape architecture, urban planning,<br />
conservation, and historic preservation created by Daugherty<br />
from 1953 to the present.<br />
With a vibrant practice that encompasses residential,<br />
commercial, and institutional projects in eight states and<br />
abroad, Edward L. Daugherty is one of the most significant<br />
post-World War II landscape architects in <strong>Atlanta</strong> and the<br />
Southeast. Although the breadth and depth of his work are<br />
extensive, many common threads run through his designs.<br />
However, nothing is more evident than his regard for<br />
people: the landscape architects he has mentored, the<br />
professionals he has collaborated with, and those his designs<br />
touch. This sensibility was cultivated at the Graduate<br />
School of Design at Harvard University where he learned<br />
analytical thinking and the value of honoring the human<br />
scale. While there, he adopted the dictum coined by landscape<br />
architecture professor Norman Newton that continues to<br />
guide his work: “Design can be good only insofar as it<br />
does good.”<br />
Visitors enjoy a discussion with Edward L. Daugherty<br />
in the gallery.<br />
The exhibit includes a sampling of significant projects from<br />
Daugherty’s career: redevelopment of Marietta Square,<br />
Georgia Governor’s Mansion, Georgia Institute of Technology,<br />
All Saints Episcopal Church, Henrietta Egleston Hospital<br />
for Children at Emory, Ahavath Achim Synagogue, and<br />
Hahn Woods. The show also includes The Cultural Landscape<br />
Foundation’s oral history module featuring Edward Daugherty.<br />
Visit www.tclf.org to watch the module.<br />
A very successful Gallery Talk held on February 26 featured<br />
tours led by Mr. Daugherty and Spencer Tunnell. Over 70<br />
guests enjoyed learning about the importance of good<br />
landscape design, techniques used in creating landscape<br />
drawings over the decades, and collections pertaining to<br />
various landscape architects in the Garden Library.<br />
Do not miss the opportunity to view this fascinating<br />
exhibition! For more information or group tours,<br />
please contact Staci Catron at 404.814.4046 or<br />

The exhibition was made possible by the support of<br />
Louise Staton Gunn.

WESTVIEW CEMETERY:<br />
A CULTURAL LANDSCAPE WORTHY OF PRESERVATION<br />
Westview Cemetery, <strong>established</strong> in 1884, is a historically significant<br />
cultural landscape within the city of <strong>Atlanta</strong>, which visually illustrates<br />
the evolving conception of the American cemetery. Founded as<br />
“a landscape park, in which may safely rest the dead,” Westview<br />
Cemetery is a breathtakingly beautiful place where history lives.<br />
Reflecting significant characteristics of late-nineteenth century cemetery movements,<br />
curvilinear drives divide the rolling terrain of Westview into large, rounded sections<br />
of hallowed ground. Meanwhile, an amazing variety of mature trees and shrubs dot<br />
the pastoral panorama. Willows, hemlocks, hickories, ginkgos, water oaks, white oaks,<br />
loblolly pines, deodar cedars, and Italian cypress are just a few of the tree specimens<br />
found here. Flowering trees and shrubs growing within the gates include southern<br />
magnolias, native dogwoods, tea olives, crepe myrtles, hydrangeas, nandinas, and<br />
rhododendrons. Burford hollies, a cultivar discovered here by and subsequently named<br />
after one of the cemetery’s early superintendents, Thomas Burford, are also in abundance.<br />
The diversity of tree and shrub specimens in the developed sections of the cemetery<br />
equals that documented in the 1933 publication, The Garden <strong>History</strong> of Georgia,<br />
1733-1933, and remains a character-defining feature of this sacred place.<br />
In the older sections of the cemetery, distinctive, sculptural monuments and elaborate<br />
grave markers dot the undulating landscape. The original stone gatehouse, crenellated<br />
stone water tower, and receiving tomb built of Georgia marble and brick clearly mark<br />
the site’s long history. However, in the northwest corner of the property, developed<br />
as the Garden of Memories in the 1940s, Westview follows the memorial park pattern<br />
popularized in the early twentieth century. Statuary gardens are surrounded by<br />
sections of lawn where bronze grave markers lie flush to the ground. A serpentine<br />
garden, bordered by sinuous stone walls, stretches across one section. The Garden of<br />
Time, Pool of Quiet, and Boxwood Garden add visual interest to the landscape and<br />
create central features encouraging reflection. Meanwhile, a memorial to the Battle of<br />
Ezra Church commemorates the conflict that was fought on and around these grounds<br />
just 20 years before the cemetery’s founding. Atop the highest hill in the northwest<br />
portion of the cemetery, an elaborate masonry mausoleum dominates the landscape.<br />

In the summer of 2008, the Georgia Historic Landscape<br />
Initiative documented the history and current conditions<br />
of Westview Cemetery and assessed the site’s significance<br />
and level of integrity. The survey and accompanying<br />
documentation, including numerous photographs, have<br />
been placed on permanent file at the Cherokee Garden<br />
Library at the <strong>Atlanta</strong> <strong>History</strong> Center. The Georgia<br />
Historic Landscape Initiative, a partnership between<br />
the Garden Club of Georgia, the National Park Service<br />
Southeast Regional Office, the Historic Preservation<br />
Division of the Georgia Department of Natural Resources<br />
and the Cherokee Garden Library, strives to document<br />
the state’s historic landscapes, disseminate information<br />
about its efforts, and ultimately promote the preservation<br />
of a vital part of this state’s heritage. So far, 109 historic<br />
landscapes have been documented through the efforts<br />
of volunteers, site managers, and research fellows.<br />
The Cherokee Garden Library would like to thank its partners<br />
for their continued support of this worthwhile endeavor.<br />
