Career

Born to Sid J. Hare, a landscape architect, and Mathilda Amelia Korfhage, Hare attended Manual High School in Kansas City and then Harvard University for landscape architecture from 1908 to 1910, where he studied under the noted Frederick Law Olmsted, Jr., but never completed the degree.[2] In 1910, Hare and his father began their own architecture firm, Hare & Hare.[3]

During World War I, Hare was an urban planner for the U.S. Army at Camp Funston and for the United States Housing Corporation.

In 1913, Hare registered as a member of the American Society of Landscape Architects, and became a fellow in 1919. From 1941 to 1945, Hare served as the society's president.[4] He was also a member of the American Institute of Planners and the American Planning and Civic Association.
