Charles Allan BROWN

*Cremations Cemetery
Pulaski County, Arkansas

Died -Jan 23, 2025

Charles Allan Brown, landscape historian and landscape architect, died of cardiac arrest on January 23, 2025, at the Baptist Hospital in Little Rock.

A descendant of one of the early mayors of Little Rock, Allan’s love of landscape was rooted in Arkansas. He studied at the University of Arkansas under the mentorship of Cyrus Sutherland, and received his master’s in landscape architecture and a certificate in historic preservation from the University of Virginia, where he studied under Mario di Valmarana. At UVA Allan was Thomas Jefferson Graduate Fellow.

One of his early projects was a history of and plan for the landscape of the Arkansas Territorial Restoration (now Historic Arkansas Museum) – A Garden Heritage – with Lake Douglas, published in 1983. He joined with Harriet Jansma on Wilderness Garden, a proposed study of Arkansas’s early landscape, which was never completed.

He spent the bulk of his life as a scholar of the landscape of founders of the United States, reflecting at best their enlightenment ideals and aesthetics, and at worst the institution of slavery that most participated in. Allan’s sense of the broader landscape surrounding the homes of 18th and 19th century leaders, led him to advise the archeological research and planning at Gunston Hall, Montpelier, Menokin, the “Pineapple Gates” house – 14 Legare Street – in Charleston, SC, and other historic sites. Several times he was able to give archeologists precise directions on where to dig. Archeologist Bill Kelso found the location of the long-lost gate at Thomas Jefferson’s Poplar Forest, through Allan’s understanding of the mathematics of the “ideal villa,” later documented in Allan’s article in the Journal of Garden History. Allan, himself, occasionally expressed frustration with the administrators of historic sites who could not, through budgetary constraints or accommodations to the modern tourist, represent the totality of the founders’ visions, or who, on occasion, actually disregarded solid research.

Most recently Allan’s scholarship focused on the Miles Brewton House in Charleston SC, the preeminent early example of domestic Palladian architecture in America. The research is summarized in two issues (Fall 2023, Spring 2024) of the journal Palladiana.

All of his adult life Allan was working on a study of Thomas Jefferson’s landscapes, with which he was yet to be satisfied. It is a truth that every death represents the loss of an individual’s personal archive. In this case a remarkable understanding of an era, a lifetime of perspective, is gone, as is the hope for Allan’s study of Jefferson. Allan was brilliant, kind and sweet man who will be sorely missed.

Allan is survived by his sister, Lisa Evans (Robert) and brother, Randall Brown. He is also survived by his nephews Brent Jones; Dr. Ryan Brown (Cady); Cary Ball (Lauren); and his nieces Jenny Brown; Kelsey Henderson (Barry); Ashlee Evans and Allison Evans.

Allan’s last few years were enhanced with the care and support of his loving friends and caretakers. One of those acts included accompanying him for what we would be his final trip to his beloved Monticello.
