Franz Lipp Papers

<p>Born in Germany, Lipp immigrated to the United States after World War I to train at the Arnold Arboretum at Harvard University and under the great American landscape architect Jens Jensen. Lipp settled in Chicago in the late 1920s and built a versatile practice designing landscape programs for commercial complexes, hospitals, schools, homes, and churches, collaborating with many of Chicago’s noted architectural firms. The Lipp collection includes photographs and slides, and an album documenting his professional career.</p> <p><a href="http://digital-libraries.artic.edu/cdm/search/collection/findingaids/searchterm/Lipp,%20Franz,%20Papers/field/title/mode/all/conn/and/cosuppress/1">View finding aid.</a><br><a href="http://digital-libraries.artic.edu/cdm/search/collection/mqc/searchterm/Lipp,%20Franz,%20Papers/field/subcol/mode/all/conn/and/cosuppress/1">View selected images from this collection.</a><br><a href="http://digital-libraries.artic.edu/cdm/search/collection/mqc/searchterm/Lipp%20Franz/field/creato;%20additi;%20contri/mode/all/conn/and/cosuppress/1">Find all Franz Lipp digital images.</a></p> <p>Collection access:<br>Collections may be accessed in the Franke Reading Room of the Research Center at The Art Institute of Chicago, by appointment only.
