Gaiety Hollow, located at 545 Mission Street in Salem, OR, is the name given by Lord and Schryver to describe their studio, garden and home where they lived for over 40 years. They commissioned noted architect Clarence Smith to build a house in 1932 on land that had been owned by members of the Lord family for many decades. The garden features examples of their key design principles as well as their frequently used plant palette.
Thanks to the generosity of the community and several foundations, the Lord & Schyrver Conservancy was able to purchase Gaiety Hollow in June 2015 and has since developed it into a cultural and educational center. The historic gardens have been restored and are open to the public on select days from April through September.
