Robert R. Royston collection 1941-1990 1946-1971

http://www.oac.cdlib.org/ark:/13030/kt8b69q7nx

Contains records related to the life and career of landscape architect Robert R. Royston. The vast majority of this collection documents the projects of Royston's various firms, with a much smaller representation of Royston's work outside the firm in the professional or academic context. Of particular interest is Royston's participation in the landscape design for various sub-divisions and individual houses built by Eichler Homes and T. Jack Foster and Sons (Foster City). In addition, the many projects funded by FHA and HUD reflect both these organizations' involvement in design and development.
