Warren H. Manning (1860-1938), acknowledged as one of this country ' s premiere landscape architects, is noted for the wide range of activities and projects he pursued during a remarkably lengthy and productive career. Among his endeavors were commissions to design and plan industrial sites in several areas of the nation, including the copper and iron mining districts of Michigan's Upper Peninsula. Over a period of 35 years, the Manning firm worked on a number of projects in association with northern Michigan ' s primary iron and copper producers, the Cleveland-Cliffs Iron Mining Company, and the Calumet and Hecla Mining Company. Within this body of work, two projects—the plan for the model village of Gwinn sponsored by Cleveland-Cliffs and the development of a public park for Calumet and Hecla—emerge as the landscape architect's most significant professional efforts. Though varied in scope and context, each project reveals important aspects of Warren Manning's ideas about planning and landscape de sign for industrial communities.
