Restoration of the Black Point Gardens

Originally designed in 1901 by landscape architect, Olaf Benson, the gardens at Black Point have changed considerably over the last 118 years. Learn how Black Point is invigorating the gardens while being consistent with Benson's design principles.

Benson immigrated from Sweden to America in 1852. After serving in the Civil War, he grew into his profession as landscape architect having a hand in projects throughout Chicago. For more information on Olaf Benson, visit The Cultural Heritage Foundation: https://www.tclf.org/pioneer/olof-benson
