Kansas City to Baton Rouge part 1

Kansas City to Baton Rouge part 1

Iowa State College landscape architecture professor Philip Elwood takes students on a tour of the southern and eastern United States in 1931. The first stop is Kansas City where they visit the War Memorial, the country club section where they see stone houses in the old section, small parks at street intersections designed by Hare and Hare, private homes, gardens, and a swimming pool with bath house also designed by Hare and Hare, a small swimming pool in a park and neighborhood shops in an attractive setting.
From there they traveled to Hot Springs National Park and the Ozarks in Arkansas and then to Natchez, Mississippi where they see the old rear wheel riverboat "Tennessee Belle" unloading flour sacks. In Natchez they also view old homes and gardens, crepe myrtle in bloom on lower slopes along the river and along streets.

P. H. Elwood (Philip Homer), b. 1884
