Mellon Park was established in 1943, on the grounds of the former estate of Richard B. Mellon. The gardens were originally designed in 1912 and several other architects added their own touch to the landscaping over the years. After Mellon’s sixty-room home was brought down during World War II, most of the garden still remained and was transformed into a city park known now as Mellon Park.
I selected Mellon Park as the backdrop for my family photos five years ago. I love everything about it and I feel like I am in a French garden. The architecture, fountain, walled garden are unparalleled.
What makes Mellon Park unique is the distinct flowers that bloom in the spring, summer and remain until early fall.
Mellon Park is a favorite location for my high school senior girl clients. From these images, you can see why!
