Administrative History

Planting Fields Foundation came into custody of this Collection when it was donated to the Friends of Planting Fields by the Architectural Study Team.

Biographical Notes

The tenth of ten children, William Robertson was born on June 8, 1869 in England. He and his family immigrated to the United States in 1883. He began working in the mail office of what would become Johnson and Higgins Insurance Company and worked his way up to President and then Chairman of the Board. He married three times, and unfortunately his first two wives passed away before their time. His first marriage, which was childless, was to Jane (Jeannie) Hutchinson Falligant, in 1893. On June 4, 1900, Coe married Mai Huttleston Rogers. Their marriage produced four children and the development of Planting Fields. He leased and eventually purchased the Byrne estate, on the same property of today’s Planting Fields. That house burned down and Coe Hall was built in the same location. Mai died in 1924. In 1926, Coe married Caroline Graham Slaughter. At Planting Fields, W.R. Coe was actively involved with developing and improving the collections of rhododendrons, azaleas, camellias, and hibiscus. Coe had a particular liking for new plant varieties and modern growing techniques. In this spirit, he deeded the estate to the State of New York in 1949. W.R. Coe died in his recently acquired home in Palm Beach, Florida, on March 15, 1955 from an asthma attack.

Scope and Content

The Architectural Studies Team Collection is arranged according to the documents produced by the team during their time at Planting Fields between 1978-1979. The collection also includes interviews with various employees at the time, and several Coe children. There are also various master planning strategic documents that the team attempted to create in order to provide a future of educational growth at Planting Fields. This collection can be used for the following research topics: development of Planting Fields Estate between 1914-1980, early attempts to research the history of the grounds, employee and children relationships during and after the life of William Robertson Coe, and the design and development of a non-profit educational facility based on a historic house setting.
