Century Memorial
The work of George E. Kessler as city planner and landscape architect was mostly done in the Middle West where he had lived, and in the beautifying of whose municipalities he spent his active life. The reconstruction of the surroundings of Indianapolis, Kansas City, Cleveland, Denver, Syracuse and El Paso was placed in his charge; he had a hand in drawing up the plans for the St. Louis Exposition of 1904.
