Plans, circa 1947-1989
Scope and Contents
The plans series contains primarily hand-drawn plans, as well as office copies, for Corry's residential and public landscape architecture projects. Supplemental project materials including building and irrigation plans from other architects, cost estimates, and notes can also be found with some landscape design projects. Most projects were conducted in Ashland and Medford, Oregon, however several other areas, including 17 cities and counties in Oregon, five cities in California, and one city in Massachusetts, can be found among the plans. In addition to Ashland and Medford, Corry designed Oregon residences and public landscapes in Central Point, Eagle Point, Gold Hill, Gold Rey, Grants Pass, Griffin Creek, Harbor, Jackson County, Jacksonville, Klamath Falls, Lincoln, Murphy, Phoenix, Roseburg, Sutherlin, Talent, and White City.
