Biographical Note

Specializing in moving and replanting large trees, Lewis & Valentine was one of the most prominentlandscape contracting companies in the eastern United States during the first half of the twentieth century.The Lewis & Valentine Company was formed by five brothers whose father had hoped that his sons wouldgrow up to be lawyers. Instead, the Lewis brothers formed a landscape design, installation and nurseryfirm that specialized in developing "successful methods for transplanting full-grown trees." Their successwas based on "doing well the task which is usually considered impossible."

The company was the inspiration of H.C. Lewis, the oldest of seven brothers, who believed that estateowners should have the luxury of immediate landscapes, rather than waiting decades for their landscapesto mature. The Lewis brothers started their business in the early 1900s. Shortly afterwards, a Mr.Valentine, roommate of Albert Addison Lewis at the Amherst Landscape School in Massachusetts,invested in the business. After three years Mr. Valentine moved on and the Lewis brothers bought back hisinterest, but continued to keep Valentine part of the company's name.

Lewis & Valentine was the largest firm in America devoted to transplainting mature trees in the yearsleading up to the Great Depression. It claimed to be "the most experienced and most versatile, backed byan intimate knowledge of horticulture and the development of fine estates." The company was noted as aleader in providing complete landscape services, from selling and guaranteeing the plants, to designingand installation, requiring that its staff be men "of good character and not afraid of hard work." This wasevident in the firm's principle of no limitations to the size of trees that they were willing to deliver. The treeswere often full-grown and ranged in age from twenty to a hundred years old. Many were so large that 20or more tons of earth had to be moved during the relocation process.

During its first 25 years in business, Lewis & Valentine opened nineteen offices east of the Mississippiserving such notable clients as Charles A. Schwab and Pierre du Pont at his estate, Longwood. Thebusiness was set up as an organization of independent companies. Each was incorporated under thelaws of the state in which it operated. The offices were located in Connecticut (Darien), Florida (PalmBeach), Illinois (Chicago), Maryland (Baltimore), Massachusetts (Boston and Hanover), Michigan (Detroit),Pennsylvania (Ardmore and Pittsburg), New Jersey (Ashbury Park and Morristown), New York (Buffalo,Roslyn-Long Island, Rye, Valley Stream-Long Island, New York City), North Carolina (Winston-Salem)and Ohio (Cleveland and Cincinnati). Although no longer owned by any members of the Lewis family, thecompany still exists and operates in Long Island under the name Lewis & Valentine Nurseries.

Records related to this site can be found at the Frederick Law OlmstedNational Historic Site, Olmsted Job Number 06499, Otto H. Kahn.

Oheka was the grandest estate of its time in Cold Spring Harbor on LongIsland's North Shore, styled after French farmhouses but with 126 rooms.The house was designed by architects William Adams Delano and ChesterHolmes Aldrich in circa 1921. In 1917 the Olmsted Brothers plannedthe grounds of the 443-acre estate, which included the entrance drive



Page 37 of 118

bordered by red cedars, the golf course, and extensive bridle paths. It tooktwo years to move the earth and build up a rise on which the house wassited. A distinctive parterre in front of the house was comprised of eightreflecting pools to show the changing sky and surrounding mountains,with grass borders. In 1919 Adele Wolff Kahn commissioned BeatrixFarrand to design more intimate spaces, including a Dutch garden, anoctagonal garden, a rose garden and a water garden. The formal Dutchgarden enclosed by vine-covered brick walls displayed tulips and floweringtrees in the spring, in parterre beds separated by brick walks laid out ina herringbone pattern. The octagonal fragrance garden featured yellowand purple pansies followed in summer by lavender, nepeta and pinkcarnations. Farrand's designs were formal and highly detailed to the extentthat each week's blooms could be anticipated.

Garden features included greenhouses, an orangery, a croquet lawn,stables, pools and tennis courts. Courtyards at the house featured singlemature trees supplied by the Long Island nursery, Lewis & Valentine. Theestate was too costly to maintain and the gardens were destroyed in 1948.A partial restoration and conversion to a hotel in the 1980s reinstalled theOlmsted Brothers landscape designs but not Farrand's.

Persons associated with the garden include Otto H. Kahn and AdeleWolff Kahn (former owners, 1914-circa 1934); Eastern military Academy(former owner), Gary Melius (former owner), Olmsted Brothers (landscapearchitects, circa 1917); Beatrix Farrand (landscape designer, 1919-1928);Lewis & Valentine (nurserymen, circa 1928); William Adams Delano &Chester Holmes Aldrich (architects).
