Biographical History
Marian Coffin was a landscape architect. She entered the Massachusetts Institute of Technology as a special student in 1901 and graduated in 1904 with a concentration in fine arts and landscape design. She studied under Boston architect Guy Lowell, designer of the Boston Museum of Fine Arts. Also in 1904, Coffin opened her own professional landscape practice in New York City. She travelled to Europe and met Gertrude Jekyll, an English landscape architect. After World War I, she opened a larger office in New York City and was joined by architect James Scheiner. Coffin was elected a fellow of the American Society of Landscape Architects in 1918. In 1930 she received the Gold Medal of the Architectural League for her design of the Edgar Bassick estate in Fairfield, Ct. In the early 1930s, she closed her New York office and moved her practice to New Haven, Ct. In 1940, Coffin published Trees and Shrubs for Landscape Effects.
