As Seen in Wisconsin: Lincoln High School, Manitowoc

In my estimation, one of  the most architecturally beautiful high schools you'll find anywhere.

The Jens Jensen Legacy Project is celebrating the man's life and work on the occasion of his 150th birthday.

The architectural drawings of Jens Jensen, including those for Lincoln High School, are housed in the Bentley Historical Library at the University of Michigan

As noted at the above website, Jensen was particularly noted for his work as a landscape architect. Jens Jensen was one of America's most visionary prairie school landscape architects. Jensen's art was based on an intense knowledge of midwestern plantlife and ecosystems. Characteristics of his work include utilization of horizontal lines in landforms and stonework, the natural branching habits of plants, and the restoration and conservation of native plant materials. He completed projects for Parks and preserves, schools, residential areas, estates, hospitals, office complexes, and government centers.
