Calvert Vaux, co-designer of Central Park, once said, “Nature first, second, and third — architecture after a while.” But architecture was far from an afterthought. Alongside his partner, Jacob Wrey Mould, Vaux designed 42 bridges and arches, the whimsical Belvedere Castle as a “folly,” and the stunning hand-carved details of Bethesda Terrace.
