'''George Elberton Burnap''' (December 28, 1885 – June 17, 1938) was an American [landscape architect](/source/Landscape_architecture). Born in [Massachusetts](/source/Massachusetts), he attended the [Massachusetts Institute of Technology](/source/Massachusetts_Institute_of_Technology) and [Cornell University](/source/Cornell_University) before being appointed lead architect in the Office of Public Buildings and Grounds (OPBG) in [Washington, D.C.](/source/Washington%2C_D.C.) During his years with the OPBG, he designed the first [White House Rose Garden](/source/White_House_Rose_Garden), [Montrose Park](/source/Montrose_Park), [Rawlins Park](/source/Rawlins_Park), landscaping and roadways in [East Potomac Park](/source/East_Potomac_Park), and initiated the planting of [Japanese cherry trees](/source/Prunus_serrulata) along the [Tidal Basin](/source/Tidal_Basin). His most well-known design was of [Meridian Hill Park](/source/Meridian_Hill_Park), a large urban park built on elevated land. Due to disagreements over his salary and outside work, Burnap was dismissed in 1916. His former student, [Horace Peaslee](/source/Horace_Peaslee), oversaw the completion of Meridian Hill Park.

Burnap later designed parks in numerous states, including [St. Joseph Parkway](/source/St._Joseph_Parkway) in [St. Joseph, Missouri](/source/St._Joseph%2C_Missouri), where he worked for several years, and [Hagerstown City Park](/source/Hagerstown_City_Park) in [Hagerstown, Maryland](/source/Hagerstown%2C_Maryland). He was also a landscape consultant to the Office of Engineering Commissioners and Veterans Bureau, authored ''Parks: Their Design, Equipment and Use'', and was a contributing writer to ''American Architecture and Building News'' and ''Architectural Record''. He continued his education later in life, earning an urban planning diploma from the [University of Paris](/source/University_of_Paris)'s graduate school. Burnap married his American wife in Paris, but they separated a few months later. Their divorce proceedings and alimony court battle were the subjects of numerous articles in local newspapers. He died in 1938 and was buried in his home state.

In 1912, he initiated the planting of [Japanese cherry trees](/source/Prunus_serrulata) along the [Tidal Basin](/source/Tidal_Basin) and plans for roadways and landscaping in [East Potomac Park](/source/East_Potomac_Park).<ref name=pioneers/> The following year, Burnap worked with First Lady [Ellen Axson Wilson](/source/Ellen_Axson_Wilson) to design the first [White House Rose Garden](/source/White_House_Rose_Garden), splitting the previous garden into two sections.<ref name=rose>{{cite web | url=https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GOVPUB-Y3-PURL-gpo142316/pdf/GOVPUB-Y3-PURL-gpo142316.pdf | title=The White House Rose Garden Landscape Report | publisher=Committee for the Preservation of the White House | work=January 24, 2020 | accessdate=February 3, 2025 | pages=28, 106}}</ref> From 1913, to 1915, Burnap and Peaslee designed [Montrose Park](/source/Montrose_Park) in [Georgetown](/source/Georgetown_(Washington%2C_D.C.)), incorporating elements from Richard Parrott's 19th-century estate.<ref name=montrose>{{cite web | url=https://www.nps.gov/articles/600115.htm#4/31.80/-78.13 | title=Montrose Park Cultural Landscape | publisher=National Park Service | accessdate=February 3, 2025 | archive-date=August 8, 2024 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240808010329/https://www.nps.gov/articles/600115.htm#4/31.80/-78.13 | url-status=live }}</ref><ref name=montrosepark>{{cite web | url=https://www.nps.gov/parkhistory/online_books/rocr/montrose_park_clr.pdf | title=Montrose Park: Cultural Landscape Report | date=August 2004 | accessdate=February 3, 2025 | pages=VII | archive-date=April 6, 2023 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230406083858/https://www.nps.gov/parkhistory/online_books/rocr/montrose_park_clr.pdf | url-status=live }}</ref>

Burnap joined Peaslee and members of the [United States Commission of Fine Arts](/source/United_States_Commission_of_Fine_Arts) (CFA) in 1914 on a tour of gardens in France, Germany, Italy, Spain, and Switzerland, seeking inspiration for upcoming projects.<ref name=habsmeridian/><ref name=tour>{{cite news | url=https://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn83045462/1914-05-15/ed-1/seq-5/#date1=1756&index=11&rows=20&words=Burnap+BURNAP+GEORGE+George&searchType=basic&sequence=0&state=&date2=1963&proxtext=%22George+Burnap%22&y=0&x=0&dateFilterType=yearRange&page=1 | title=George Burnap Goes Abroad | work=The Evening Star | date=May 15, 1914 | accessdate=February 3, 2025 | pages=5}}</ref> The largest project Burnap worked on was [Meridian Hill Park](/source/Meridian_Hill_Park), a large urban park on elevated land that had been purchased by the [United States Congress](/source/United_States_Congress) in 1910.

The following year Burnap authored ''Parks: Their Design, Equipment and Use'', the first of a planned four-volume series, and redesigned [Rawlins Park](/source/Rawlins_Park).<ref name=habsmeridian/><ref name=rawlins>{{cite web | url=https://tile.loc.gov/storage-services/master/pnp/habshaer/dc/dc0700/dc0792/data/dc0792data.pdf | title=Historic American Buildings Survey: Rawlins Park | publisher=National Park Service | accessdate=February 3, 2025 | pages=4 | archive-date=February 8, 2024 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240208195745/https://tile.loc.gov/storage-services/master/pnp/habshaer/dc/dc0700/dc0792/data/dc0792data.pdf | url-status=live }}</ref>

In addition to his work on the city's public parks, Burnap worked on private landscaping projects.<ref name=pioneers/> Examples include gardens at the [Catholic University of America](/source/Catholic_University_of_America)'s Sisters' College and at the residence of psychiatrist Loren B.T.

Harts gave Burnap an ultimatum, to stop accepting private work or face suspension. Burnap declined, saying his annual government salary of $2,400 was inadequate. He was suspended without pay, and despite an appeal, dismissed from service in August 1916.<ref name=issue>{{cite news | url=https://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn83045462/1916-02-21/ed-1/seq-5/#date1=1756&sort=relevance&rows=20&words=Burnap+George&searchType=basic&sequence=0&index=4&state=&date2=1963&proxtext=%22George+Burnap%22&y=0&x=0&dateFilterType=yearRange&page=7 | title=Issue to Be Settled by Secretary of War | work=The Evening Star | date=February 21, 1916 | accessdate=February 3, 2025 | pages=5}}</ref><ref name=dropped>{{cite news | url=https://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn83045462/1916-08-03/ed-1/seq-2/#date1=1756&sort=relevance&rows=20&words=Burnap+George&searchType=basic&sequence=0&index=4&state=&date2=1963&proxtext=%22George+Burnap%22&y=0&x=0&dateFilterType=yearRange&page=9 | title=Landscape Architect Dropped From Service | work=The Evening Star | date=August 3, 1916 | accessdate=February 3, 2025 | pages=2}}</ref><ref name=nopay>{{cite news | url=https://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn83045462/1916-10-02/ed-1/seq-2/#date1=1756&sort=relevance&rows=20&words=Burnap+George&searchType=basic&sequence=0&index=18&state=&date2=1963&proxtext=%22George+Burnap%22&y=0&x=0&dateFilterType=yearRange&page=6 | title=Burnap to Get No Pay For Suspension Period | work=The Evening Star | date=October 2, 1916 | accessdate=February 3, 2025 | pages=2}}</ref> After Burnap was dismissed, Peaslee took over as lead architect of Meridian Hill Park.

In 1917, Burnap began working for the city government of [St. Joseph, Missouri](/source/St._Joseph%2C_Missouri), but left in 1920 due to budget shortfalls in his department.<ref name=pioneers/> That same year an exhibition of Burnap's garden designs took place at the [Arts Club of Washington](/source/Arts_Club_of_Washington).<ref name=artsclub>{{cite news | url=https://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn83045462/1920-01-11/ed-1/seq-43/#date1=1756&sort=relevance&rows=20&words=Burnap+George&searchType=basic&sequence=0&index=2&state=&date2=1963&proxtext=%22George+Burnap%22&y=0&x=0&dateFilterType=yearRange&page=2 | title=Notes of Art and Artists | work=The Evening Star | date=January 11, 1920 | accessdate=February 3, 2025 | pages=11}}</ref> In the 1920s, he designed parks in [Council Bluffs, Iowa](/source/Council_Bluffs%2C_Iowa), [Granville, New York](/source/Granville%2C_New_York), [Greenwood, South Carolina](/source/Greenwood%2C_South_Carolina), [Omaha, Nebraska](/source/Omaha%2C_Nebraska), and [Petersburg, Virginia](/source/Petersburg%2C_Virginia).
