Ross - Alison architecture
« on: July 11, 2019, 11:27:43 AM »
Question for the group, what courses have a history of Alison and Ross doing work on the same site? either working together, or one after the other, can be original design, redesign or even touch up work, both have to have set foot and contributed something on the same site to qualify.


I'll start,


Chevy Chase Club - Ross revision of an existing course 1911 - Alison redesign of the Ross course 1923.
