Barbara Vorse Fealy (1903 – December 30, 2000) was a landscape architect who mainly worked in the Pacific Northwest.[1] In 1985, Fealy was elected a fellow of the American Society of Landscape Architects, the first women in Oregon to do so. Several of her works have become listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and at least one a National Historic Landmark.[2]

Biography[]

In 1903, in Salt Lake City, Utah, Fealy was born to Albert Justin and Bettie Vorse. They were owners of one of Utah's largest nurseries, which Fealy assisted with from an early age. Healy was fascinated with plants, and that fascination, as well as her drawing ability led Albert Vorse to send Fealy to the University of Illinois to study landscape architecture in 1921. She was also educated in part in Florida. Studying under Jens Jensen, Stanley Hart White and others, Fealy became competent at pencil sketching, painting, and using water colors. After graduating in 1925, she took a job with her father. From 1926-1929, she worked for McCrary, Culley and Carhart in Denver. In 1932, she was hired by the Utah State Planning Commission. Fealy formed her own architectural firm in 1929. In 1932, Fealy married Morris Hoag. She died in 2000. She was awarded Fellow, ASLA, the ASLA Honor Award, ASLA Merit Award, Portland Garden Club Award, and the Portland Beautification Association Timberline Lodge “Special Award”[3][4]
