Charles Eliot was a famous landscape architect who laid the groundwork for conservancies everywhere. In 1883, he became an apprentice for Frederick Law Olmsted and Company, where he worked on designs for Franklin Park (1884), the Arnold Arboretum (1885) and the Fens (1883) in Boston and Belle Isle Park (1884) in Detroit. On Olmsted's advice, Eliot traveled to Europe in 1885 to observe natural sceneries a well as the landscape designs of Capability Brown, Humphry Repton, Joseph Paxton and Prince Pückler-Muskau. Eliot's travel diaries provide one of the best visual assessments of European landscapes in the late 19th century.

Charles Eliot was entrusted with an original blueprint of Central Park, but now he is missing! We have to find it before the New York City Historical Commission comes to collect it for their collection. Oh no! A competing architecture landscape firm locked us in the Olmsted firm house! They don’t want the Olmsted firm to get recognition for their work, erasing them from landscape architecture history!
You and two other landscape architects, John Charles Olmsted and Frederick Law Olmsted Jr. (also known as Charlie & Rick) need to find Eliot before the deadline is due.
