Ralph E. Griswold began his career as a landscape architect in 1916 after graduating from Cornell University, where he received both his bachelors and masters degrees in landscape architecture. Following his graduation, Griswold served in World War I as a camouflage officer stationed in France. In 1919, Griswold was a part of Bryant F. Fleming landscape architecture firm in Buffalo, New York. Subsequently, Griswold won the Prix de Rome, a competitive scholarship organized by the Royal Academy of Painting and Sculpture in 1920. He spent the next three years at the American Academy in Rome as a Fellow of Landscape Architecture with Frederick Law Olmstead, Jr. as his advisor. After returning to the United States with his family in 1923, Griswold joined the architecture firm of A.D. Taylor in Cleveland, Ohio, and later moved to Pittsburgh in 1927 to establish his own firm of GWSM, Inc.
Between 1934 and 1945, Griswold worked as the superintendent for the Bureau of Parks in Pittsburgh. He contributed to many significant Pittsburgh projects, including Point State Park, the Pittsburgh Zoo, Chatham Village, Grandview Overlook, and the Sewickley Memorial. Griswold also worked on side projects with corporate and residential landscapes throughout the Pittsburgh area, including many country club and park projects.
During this time, Griswold also contributed to landscape planning projects abroad, including the American Cemetery in Anzio, Italy, and the Archaeological Park at the excavation of the Agora in Athens, Greece. Between 1956 and 1958, Griswold continued his historic landscape research as the first Research Fellow with the Dumbarton Oaks Project at Harvard University. While semi-retired from GWSM, Inc. in the 1960s and 1970s, he lived in Williamsburg, Virginia, and worked on various projects including research for the gardens of Colonial Williamsburg, Mary Washington House, and Monticello. Griswold also contributed to other notable projects such as Rosenwald Estates, William Penn's Pennsbury Manor, the University of Pittsburgh's Falk Clinic, and many private residences in Pennsylvania and Virginia.

Diaries , 1912-1917, 1946-1981 Scope and Content Notes Griswold methodically documented his life, writing entries on social and business relationships as well as existing projects. His earliest diaries, dating from 1914 through 1917, describe day-to-day affairs such as schooling and social relationships. Later diaries show the evolution of his entries into subjects based on current projects, which are detailed in Series V, during his professional career in the 1940s and 1950s. Griswold adopted a more leisurely approach in the 1970s and 1980s, focusing on his personal life to a greater degree than in any previous diary. Most diaries also contain fiscal expenditures, phone-lists, and tabulations in addition to personal antecedents and opinions of his associates. These diaries record a mixture of personal and professional experiences during two distinct periods in Griswold's life, written in the periods from 1914-1917 and 1946-1981.

Lecture Notes and Unpublished Works , 1913-1944 Scope and Content Notes Griswold dedication to the landscape architecture field is evident through his diligent notes that he wrote from lectures over the years. The lecture notes describe projects, plans, facts, and theories on landscape architecture. Griswold accumulated lecture notes during his time at Cornell University as well as other conferences and speeches he attended. It is evident that Griswold felt that he could repurpose his notes for future research and conference material. Some of the lecture notes and unpublished works were used in a variety of conferences and speaking engagements given by Griswold. Griswold notes include ideas for speeches, key points of lectures, conference material, and sketches of landscapes. Frequently, these notes directly correspond to a particular landscape project Griswold had worked on. The material in this series date from 1913 to 1944. Additional files relating to lectures and projects may be found in Series VII.

Subseries 1. Jones & Laughlin Steel Company Town Revitalization , 1946-1948 Scope and Content Notes A project of local significance to Pittsburgh was the Jones & Laughlin Steel Company town revitalization. Jones & Laughlin Steel hired Griswold for the recreation and restoration of many of its company towns throughout western and central Pennsylvania, which produced much of the coal and coke used in the production of steel. Griswold was consulted to head the revitalization project in the company towns of Vestaburgh, Richeyville, Bobtown, Blairton, and Denbo; he completed these revitalization projects between 1946 and 1947.

Anzio Cemetery Project , 1949-1955 Scope and Content Notes The World War II Sicily-Rome American Cemetery and Memorial, built in Italy to commemorate Americans who died during the liberation of Axis Nation Italy, was directed by the United States War Commission, which oversaw the overall design, construction, sculpture, and landscaping work necessary for the site. A wide central mall leads to the memorial, adorned with works of art and architecture, emblematic of America's reverence for the fallen war dead. Architects for the cemetery and memorial were Gugler, Kimball and Husted of New York City. Ralph Griswold was tapped by the commission to act as landscape architect; this became his first major landscaping work overseas. Griswold spent much of his time drawing plans, developing planting plans, writing and answering correspondence, and working with the War Commission in efforts to construct the memorial.
Griswold designed the entrance road to the Anzio Cemetery, lining the path with neatly-trimmed hedges. There is a large elliptical shaped reflecting pool with a small island at its center. Griswold chose to plant several Italian cypress trees which flank the stone cenotaph on the island. Evergreen holly oak trees and hedges line the wide grassy mall through the graves area from the reflecting pool to the memorial. The larger garden north of the memorial is planted with beds of polyanthus roses, geraniums, white oleander, purple bougainvillea and other flowers in parterre arrangements. The permanent cemetery and memorial were completed in 1956. The material in this subseries dates from 1949 to 1955.

Agora Material , 1950-1956 Scope and Content Notes The American School of Classical Studies in Athens has been a premier center for the study of Greek civilization since its inception in 1881. It has proved to be not only a center for teaching, but the heart of American excavations of antiquity in Greece, with the resulting published material forming the basis of classical study today. In 1931, the school began work on their most significant find, the ancient Greek Agora in the city of Athens. Since 3000 B.C.E., this ancient marketplace served as the confluence of Athenian economic, political, and social practices, and emerged as the physical manifestation of the famous democracy of Athens around the fifth century B.C.E. The grounds, where ancient citizens held public office and elections, would influence Western Civilization for centuries to come.
By 1957, the first archeological park in Europe was developed to showcase the work of the Agora excavation from the previous decades. The landscaping for this presentation proved to be a challenging and novel undertaking. The school director, Homer Thompson, began talks with Ralph E. Griswold in 1950 to act as supervisor of the new park. His work included not only making the park serviceable by adding benches, creating entrances, and clearing ruin, but aesthetically pleasing by adorning the surrounding hillside and park with historically and culturally relevant foliage and trees. He was responsible not only for the logistic constraints of an operation in the dry environment of Attica, but charged with conforming to stringent academic standards of recreating the ancient marketplace. Griswold also coordinated with American and Greek donations for the landscape work, budgeting and researching most of the sites' expenses. During his long involvement with the project, he developed a lasting relationship and correspondence with Homer Thompson and much of the staff of the American School of Classical Studies. The project was completed between 1950 and 1955; the park was dedicated in 1956. The material in this subseries dates form 1950 to 1956.

Garden Club of Virginia Material , undated Scope and Content Notes The Garden Club of Virginia is an active association of garden clubs responsible for many of Virginia's historic garden restoration including Monticello. Griswold was a part of the Garden Club of Virginia Restoration Committee, and this subseries documents his relationship with committee members and relates to several club projects. The Garden Club of Virginia, much like Griswold himself, was interested in historic preservation. The garden clubs restoration projects began in 1927, however, Griswold was not involved until the late 1950s. The restoration effort in which Griswold was involved included the Mary Washington House, Colonial Williamsburg, Monticello, Kent Valentine House, Woodrow Wilson House, Scotchtown, St. Johns Mews, Agecroft Hall, Morgan Mill, University of Virginia, and Christ Church of Middlesex County. Griswold was either the main landscape architect or landscape consultant on these restoration projects. He was also responsible for revitalization projects related to a chapel at Washington College in Lexington, Virginia, that had been built during Robert E. Lee's tenure as university president.

Mellon-Scaife Botanical Garden , 1966-1967 Scope and Content Notes The restoration of the main garden in Mellon Park is found in the Pittsburgh Point Breeze neighborhood. This garden was developed as a memorial to Mrs. Sarah Mellon Scaife. To memorialize Mrs. Scaife, Griswold designed, developed, and participated in the rededication of an outdoor botanical garden. The botanical garden was developed to serve not only as a memorial, but as a source of study for botanical students, landscape professionals, and amateur gardeners alike. This garden promoted both the scientific and aesthetic understanding required to create botanical gardens. Griswold worked on this project from 1966 to 1969.

Media Material , undated Scope and Content Notes Griswold used an abundance of media material in his research, planning, and eventually to highlight his completed landscapes. Griswold collected this material throughout his career both at home and abroad. There is evidence that some of the slides were used for conferences and educational lectures given by Griswold. This series contains sketches, architectural drawings and prints, postcards, photographs, 35mm slides, and negatives collected by Griswold. The photographs and negatives are presumed to be taken by Griswold and arranged using his original decimal system order. The images correspond to lectures, projects, conferences, and general reference of landscape architecture elements. Many of the images document Griswold's own completed landscape projects throughout his career. The print and photographic materials (Boxes 34-46) are now located in the media storage room for preservation purposes. Additional files relating to this material may be found in Series V.
Subseries 1. Photographs , undated Scope and Content Notes The photographs in this series are organized in Griswold's original decimal order from .000 to .121, and not all numbers are present in the collection.

Subseries 3. Slides , undated Scope and Content Notes This subseries features an assortment of slides both lantern and 35mm in size. These slide images include completed Griswold projects, landscape pictures of Italian villas, gardens, and facades, and anecdotal humor etched onto glass plates for comic relief at presentations. The slides depict European landscapes from the earliest part of Griswold's career. The lantern slides display evidence of at least two original but conflicting numbering schemes, neither of which has been interpreted at this time. The majority of the slides are of unidentified structures or landscapes with unknown dates. When further identification was written on or noted in the slide, archivists noted this in the description. Boxes 41-45 contain lantern slides while box 46 contains 35 mm slides. Additional files relating to this material may be found in Series V.

Blueprints and Oversized Rolled Material , 1930-1988 Scope and Content Notes This series contains blueprints and photostats of projects in which Griswold and his firm took part. Many of the blueprints contain handwritten revisions that reflect the intellectual progression of the projects. Much of the material in this series directly corresponds to items in Series V that documents specific projects. The plans and prints are oversized rolled materials stored in tube containers. The materials in this series date from 1930 through 1985. Additional files relating to this material may be found in Series V.
*Note* The following are rolled materials placed in Tube Container Boxes.
Agora landscape blueprint , undated Containers box 46 , tube Box 47 Scope and Content Notes The American School of Classical Studies in Athens began its excavation of the ancient Greek Agora in 1931. Since 3000 B.C.E., this ancient marketplace served as the confluence of Athenian economic, political, and social practices, and emerged as the physical manifestation of the famous democracy of Athens around the fifth century B.C.E.
By 1957, the first archeological park in Europe was developed to showcase the work of the Agora excavation from the previous decades. The landscaping for this presentation proved to be a challenging and novel undertaking, and the school began talks with Ralph E. Griswold in 1950 to act as supervisor of the new park. His work included not only making the park serviceable by adding benches, creating entrances, and clearing ruin, but aesthetically pleasing by adorning the surrounding hillside and park with historically and culturally relevant foliage and trees. He was responsible not only for the logistic constraints of an operation in the dry environment of Attica, but charged with conforming to stringent academic standards of recreating the ancient marketplace. The project was completed between 1950 to 1955 and the park dedicated in 1956. Additional files relating to this project may be found in Series V.
Semple, Way and McLean III , 1930-1933 Containers box 46 , tube Box 48-49 Scope and Content Notes Frank Semple Jr. garden project consisted of four plans for a gate and tool house, fence and bluster, as well as a sketch for a costume front door. The Semple project was large and was not completed until 1933. For the Robert McLean III, Griswold designed a Japanese Garden complete with moon garden. The private garden of the John Way Estate included a general landscape and planting plan. This subseries contains eighteen blueprints and plans related to a few private Pittsburgh residences. These projects were all completed in 1930 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
Agecroft , 1986-1988 Containers box 46 , tube Box 50 Scope and Content Notes The Agecroft material contains drawings and schematic renderings used by Griswold in reference to Agecroft Hall, a recreated Tudor estate in Richmond, Virginia. Agecroft Hall was bought and reassembled from an original fifteenth century English manor by Richard C.
