The purpose of this study is to identify characteristics of the American Neoclassical tendencies in the early 1900s and Farrand's style through an analysis of Dumbarton Oaks. The results of analysis indicated that although Dumbarton Oaks was influenced by many European classic gardens, the garden has the unique style which reflects regional contexts and culture based on the philosophy of arts and crafts movement, The major characteristics of the late Neoclassical style in America can be summarized as follows. First, A series of terraced gardens were connected by paths and stairways and natural terrain was preserved as much as possible.
