 Stop heating nightmares 
 
 Your dreams about 
 heating may be made bliss- 
 ful or dreadful — as you choose. 
 
 It is not the nightmare alone that comes 
 from the work and worries of old-fashioned 
 heating — you find your heating nightmares are real- 
 ities in the morning. They are real nuisances which 
 spoil your peace of mind by day and wreck your sleep by night. But there's a remedy.

 away with ash-dust, soot, and hard work. Their cleanliness saves much wear on household furnishings. 
 They are so built in small sections that they can be easily put in any house — old or new — farm or city. 
 
 Any person, no matter how inexperienced, may easily operate 
 an IDEAL Boiler. It requires less care than a parlor stove. 
 
 Our book, "Best Ways to Run 
 the Boiler," furnished with each 
 shipment, tells just how to get 
 the best results in mild, cold, or 
 severe weather, and from any 
 kind of fuel. It presents a few 
 simple rules, readily under- 
 stood, and if followed gives abso- 
 lute control of the fire, and makes 
 every ounce of fuel yield its full 
 heat. 
 
 Our interest in the heating- out- 
 fit does not cease with its sale, 
 and should any feature in the 
 care or operation of the Boiler 
 not be understood, we most cor- 
 dially invite correspondence.

 valuable catalog — sent free.

 Durability and Beauty in 
 Floor Finish 
 
 Floors finished with Elastica Floor Finish are satis- 
 factory after they have been used as well as when the 
 Elastica is first applied. 
 
 Floors finished with many other floor finishes look 
 well only before they are used. 
 
 The purpose for which the room is to be used or 
 the kind of flooring makes no difference — Elastica Floor 
 Finish has proved itself in the severest possible tests. 
 
 JJ*^ MARK, "*-^*» * 
 
 FLOOR FINISH 
 
 beautifies all woods. It is a genuine finish. 
 
 It is the kind of a floor finish that ought to appeal 
 to you. 
 
 Elastica Floor Finish combines Durability and Beauty, 
 which is equivalent to complete satisfaction.

THE ARCHITECTURAL RECORD. 
 
 "Waterproofing by the 
 Positive Seal Method" 
 
 This is a booklet in which every architect and engineer 
 will be interested. It gives detailed information regarding the 
 most approved methods ot underground waterproofing, based 
 on expert technical knowledge and broad experience. 
 
 The Genasco Positive Seal materials include: 
 
 Positive Seal Felt, an asphalt-coated felt of high tensile 
 strength. 
 
 Positive Seal Fabric, for use where unusual strength is 
 required to withstand incessant vibration or excessive contrac- 
 tion and expansion. 
 
 Positive Seal Solid Cement, applied hot either alone 
 or as a ply cement with the felt or fabric, depending upon the 
 conditions to be met. 
 
 Positive Seal Liquid Cement. A substitute for Posi- 
 tive Seal Solid Cement where there are no facilities for heating 
 the latter. 
 
 Positive Seal Paint No. 1. A dampproofing paint for 
 brick, stone or concrete, which may be plastered over without 
 lathing or furring. 
 
 Positive Seal Paint No. 2. A priming coat for wood, 
 masonry or steel, forming a perfect bond with Positive Seal 
 Solid Cement when the latter is applied hot. 
 
 All these materials are fully described in the booklet, 
 which will be mailed upon request.

 Insist that the Specification be Followed ! 
 
 For certainty of results, specify that 
 your building shall be roofed "according 
 to The Barrett Specification." 
 
 Don't specify in general terms. 
 
 Don't say "a Gravel roof," or "a Pitch 
 and Gravel roof," or "a Slag roof," or 
 "a Tar roof" — that is inviting trouble. 
 Say "according to The Barrett Specifi- 
 cation." Insist that the full specification 
 be followed. 
 
 That means you are ordering some- 
 thing definite. It makes slipshod work- 
 manship easy to detect. It requires the 
 use of the proper weight of felt and the 
 proper grade and amount of pitch. 
 
 A Barrett Specification roof is certain 
 
 to last 20 years and more. We know of 
 many cases where such roofs have lasted 
 over 30 years without costing a cent for 
 maintenance. 
 
 The Barrett Specification prescribes 
 with precision the way such a roof 
 should be laid to give maximum service. 
 It is a practical specification and to-day 
 is used and endorsed by the leading arch- 
 itects and engineers. It is not based on 
 academic theory, but on the best prac- 
 tice of the day. 
 
 Every engineer, architect and owner of 
 buildings, should have The Barrett Spec- 
 ification on file. Copies of it will be sent 
 free on request. Address our nearest of- 
 fice.

 In the Santo "Residence Special" we offer a combination of 
 high efficiency together with many other vital features which make 
 up the most desirable and economical cleaning plant in the world 
 for residence use. 
 
 It maintains a vacuum of over S inches of mercury and dis- 
 places over 40 cubic feet of air per minute— the amounts and 
 proportion necessary for thorough cleaning. This efficiency— this 
 perfect balance can not be obtained in any other cleaner. 
 
 This efficiency is obtained with a motor of only *4 H.P., which 
 is connected to the lighting circuit and operated at a cost of less 
 than 4 cents per hour. No special service wires needed. 
 
 No noise or vibration in the house. The motor is connected 
 direct to the powerful duplex pump with ball-bearing eccentrics. 
 No gears, belts or chains. Nothing to get out of order. Requires 
 oiling only 3 or 4 times a year. 
 
 This Cleaner cannot be equalled at any price.

 Metal Back Medicine Cabinets 
 
 The Cabinets are made with a 
 heavy Steel Back, Porcelain Enam- 
 elled. The Door and Frame are 
 made in either Brass, Nickel Plated 
 or White Metal (German Silver). 
 Each Cabinet is supplied with 
 our own Special Shelf Supports, 
 which slide on a slotted upright; 
 the Shelf Supports, being equipped 
 with Set Screws, permit the Shelves 
 to be set at any desired height. 
 
 We would advise the use of the 
 White Metal for the Frame and 
 Door, also for the Slides and Shelf 
 Supports. This metal retains its 
 White Silver appearance at all times, 
 is easily cleaned and will not wear 
 off like Nickel, or tarnish as Brass 
 or Bronze do. 
 
 Completed Cabinets can be seen

 Rugs of Distinction 
 
 Grand Prix, Paris. 1900 Grand Prix, St. Louis. 1904 
 
 THE illustration above shows the largest one piece 
 hand tufted rug imported. Made in Austria by 
 Bollentin & Thompson for Pottier & Stymus, for the Ma- 
 sonic Temple, New York City. Size, 53 x 60 feet. Con- 
 tains 7,344,000 knots. Delivered in less than eight weeks 
 from day order was placed. 
 
 The choice of the proper floor covering probably has as much to do with the 
 success of a decorative plan as any other single item. 
 
 A Rug which harmonizes absolutely with the scheme of decoration gives the 
 last touch of distinction to a room — the touch that culture demands. 
 
 Our fabrics are the richest and most satisfactory offered today for the discrimi- 
 nating architect and his client. Every piece is made to order, in any size, design or 
 color, in the largest and best mill in the world, thus assuring absolute satisfaction. 
 
 The prominent, up to date decorators and dealers in all parts of the country are 
 our exclusive distributers, and will be pleased to show our samples of the various 
 qualities. 
 
 ■ You cannot afford to be without the information concerning our goods, as they 
 are the best. We will gladly furnish the name of decorator or dealer nearest you

THE ARCHITECTURAL RECORD. 
 
 THERE was recently held at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, in New York, a 
 most interesting and instructive exhibition of furniture and house furnishings of 
 the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. The most interesting portion of that 
 exhibition was the section devoted to American Colonial furniture of the nine- 
 teenth century, by a designer and cabinetmaker, Duncan Phyfe (1768-1854), of New 
 York City. 
 
 Not only for architects, hut for the public, which attended in large numbers, this 
 was one of the most important events of its kind ever attempted in New York. 
 Why ? For two reasons : 
 
 First — The exhibition contained a greater number of pieces of Colonial furniture and 
 furnishings of real artistic and practical value than have ever been seen by the present gen- 
 eration in any one place. 
 
 Second — The exhibition exerted a beneficial influence on the large number of people 
 who went to see it They could not have left without appreciating the desirability of 
 possessing in their homes furniture and furnishings into the design of which so much 
 thought was put, and on which such honest material and competent labor were employed. 
 
 This is the sort of decorative furnishings, floor and wall coverings and furniture 
 we like to build and sell, and these are our mottoes: 
 
 Thoughtful Design, Honest Material and Competent Labor 
 
 The architects and designers of today are as competent to produce designs of merit 
 for present needs as were those of Duncan Phyfe' s time for the requirements of a cen- 
 tury ago. 
 
 We can guarantee the Honest Material and the Competent Labor.

 THE ROYAL VENTILATORS 
 
 provide an ever-changing supply of fresh air without cost of operating. Correct 
 principles and careful workmanship have won many specifications for us. bhall we 
 have yours? The "ROYAL" is neater in appearance, will last longer and is advanta- 
 geously different from all others. 
 
 Nine-tenths of all the plans drawn hy architects and engineers today do not pro- 
 vide for ANY VENTILATION — and yet we are in receipt of hundreds of letters from 
 owners and even prominent architects saying they did not KNOW the "ROYAL" was 
 so cheap— as contractors tried to change the list price from which there is always 
 a discount of 5 to So per cent. 
 
 Always write the "ROYAL" for prices if you are in douht as to the cost — and 
 what you should use. ■m-wrTT^.r 
 
 WHY 
 
 Are single cone ventilators inferior to the Standard Double Cone 
 Royal? 
 
 Because it costs less to make them. 
 WHY ? 
 
 Because they weigh less. 
 WHY? 
 
 Because there is less material in them. 
 WHY? 
 
 Because they are made to sell cheap and have the smallest possi- 
 ble amount of time and material used in them. 
 Why are they not as good? 
 For many reasons: 
 
 1. Because they will not last as long. 
 2. "Because they will not exhaust as much air. 
 3. Because they being flimsy do not possess one-half the stabil- 
 ity of the Royal. 
 4 Because they are che;ip looking compared with the Royal. 
 5. Because no honest test has ever equalled the test of the Royal.

The Work of Messrs. Carrere £? Hastings 
 
 During the last thirty years the 
 architectural revival in the Eastern 
 American states has been dominated by 
 the influence and the work of two firms 
 — McKim, Mead & White, and Carrere 
 & Hastings. There have, of course, 
 been practicing a score or more of other 
 architects, who have made valuable in- 
 dividual contributions to American 
 architectural design, and who in many 
 instances entirely escaped the influence 
 of the two above-named firms. Never- 
 theless there is no doubt that Messrs. 
 McKim, Mead & vVhite, and Carrere & 
 Hastings occupy a position in recent 
 American architectural history, es- 
 sentially different from that of any of 
 their associates. They constitute a 
 class by themselves in respect to the 
 volume and variety of their work. 
 They constitute a class by themselves 
 in the fact that their work has been 
 peculiarly representative. They consti- 
 tute a class by themselves, in that their 
 work has been particularly formative 
 in its influence. They both anticipated 
 the lines, which in general the develop- 
 ment of American architecture would 
 travel, and by the force of their exam- 
 ple they have helped American archi- 
 tecture to understand its proper meth- 
 od and its immediate goal, and to ad- 
 vance more quickly towards its attain- 
 ment. 
 
 While, however, Messrs. McKim, 
 Mead & White and Carrere & Hastings 
 constitute a class by themselves in their 
 relations to their contemporaries, the 
 two firms are distinguished one from

 another by certain essential differences, 
 both of purpose and of achievement. 
 They are similar in the volume and va- 
 riety of their work and the extent of 
 their influence. They are similar in 
 that both of them, after a preliminary 
 period of hesitation, attached them- 
 selves definitely and finally to that 
 vague, but significant stream of 
 architectural tendency, which we know 
 by the name of the Renaissance. But 
 it should be immediately added that 
 Carrere & Hastings attached them- 
 selves to a phase of the architecture of 
 the Renaissance wholly different from 
 that of McKim, Mead & White. The 
 Renaissance passed through many dif- 
 ferent forms during the several cen- 
 turies of its architectural development, 
 and McKim, Mead & White did not 
 identify their work specifically with 
 any one of these phases. They were 
 predominantly early Italian in their 
 sympathies, but this bias did not pre- 
 vent them from designing, when it 
 suited their purposes, Roman, Palla- 
 dian, Louis Seize or Georgian build- 
 ings. Carrere & Hastings, on the other 
 hand, have been for the most part faith- 
 ful in their allegiance to a certain phase 
 of the French Renaissance ; and this 
 fact is symptomatic of a salient differ- 
 ence both of idea and of temper be- 
 tween the two firms. They consciously 
 selected this phase of Renaissance 
 architecture as the point of departure 
 of their work, and they made this 
 choice from certain definite and intelli- 
 gible reasons. Moreover, in thus pur-

THE WORK OF CARRERE & HASTINGS. 
 
 posely restricting the stylistic variety 
 of their work, Carrere & Hastings 
 have unquestionably taken a step in 
 advance over the more eclectic prac- 
 tices of McKim, Mead & White. 
 What American architecture needed 
 was a constantly increasing definition 
 of its authoritative forms, because only 
 by such definition could the necessary 
 and desirable mastery of any particular 
 form be obtained. Whatever one may 
 think, consequently, of the compara- 
 
 White, and the significance of the im- 
 provement made thereupon by Carrere 
 & Hastings. 
 
 Critics, particularly foreign critics, of 
 American architecture have usually 
 been unable to discover any guiding 
 idea back of its transformations, ex- 
 cept that of a meaningless and indis- 
 criminate imitation of European archi- 
 tectural forms ; and they have usually 
 assumed that any such characterization 
 carried with it a substantially complete

 tive merit of the work of these two firms, 
 the general architectural policy of Car- 
 rere & Hastings must be pronounced 
 to be in general an improvement on 
 that of McKim, Mead & White. The 
 former were the younger firm, who not 
 only followed the example of their 
 predecessor, but in certain respects 
 bettered it ; and the peculiar importance 
 of Carrere & Hastings cannot be un- 
 derstood unless a careful explanation 
 is attempted, both of the significance 
 of the example set by McKim, Mead & 
 
 condemnation of all its works and prac- 
 tices. Any criticism which originates 
 in such a general point of view makes 
 the kind of mistake which tends to in- 
 validate all of its subsequent judgments. 
 American architecture has been imita- 
 tive, of course ; but it has been imita- 
 tive of necessity and for excellent rea- 
 sons. At times, also, this imitation has 
 been indiscriminate and meaningless ; 
 but on the whole its use of European 
 architectural forms has been gradually 
 becoming more discriminate and more

 significant. American architectural his- 
 tory has been the record of a develop- 
 ment, and no criticism of an important 
 individual architect has any chance of 
 being just and edifying unless the 
 critic understands the trend of this pro- 
 cess of development, and the place 
 
 For American architecture to have 
 started in anything but the imitation 
 of foreign or European architectural 
 forms would have been a violation 
 both of precedent and of good judg- 
 ment. In periods when communication

 portion as intercourse among different 
 peoples is safe, easy and quick, the pe- 
 culiarly intelligent people is the one 
 that knows what and when and how to 
 borrow. The American colonists being 
 the offshoot of Europe peoples, were 
 obliged to borrow their whole stock-in- 
 trade of ideas, laws and manners and 
 technical forms and practices. In re- 
 sponse to the imperative requirements 
 of life in a new and undeveloped coun- 
 
 the present day they have not escaped 
 a certain necessary colonialism in their 
 technical ideals and practices, and for 
 special reasons their architectural 
 methods have remained even less inde- 
 pendent than has been the case with 
 the other arts. 
 
 One of the strongest influences 
 working on behalf of the nationaliza- 
 tion of any art is the endeavor of its 
 practitioners to express a peculiarly

 try, they soon began to modify the 
 equipment in civilization, which had 
 been brought across the Atlantic; but 
 in the beginning they naturally modi- 
 fied that part of their equipment, which 
 was the greatest immediate practical 
 importance, viz. : their political and 
 economic ideas, their manners and 
 their laws. In respect to technical 
 forms they remained colonists long 
 after they had become politically and 
 economically independent. Down to 
 
 local subject-matter; and it is this en- 
 deavor which has been responsible for 
 whatever national character Americans 
 have been able to impart to their sculp- 
 ture, painting and literature. But 
 architecture in a sense has no subject- 
 matter. Like music it is an art in 
 which no valid distinction can be made 
 between subject-matter and form. The 
 architecture of any country and that of 
 the United States in particular has 
 peculiar conditions to meet, local mate-

 are borrowed; but the architect has no 
 way of concealing his borrowing. 
 
 American architects have no reason 
 to be apologetic about the alien source 
 of their technical methods and forms. 
 There was nothing else for them to do, 
 and they have only followed the ex- 
 ample of the European architects of the 
 past several centuries. All architec- 
 ture since the Renaissance has been 
 imitative in method and alien in origin. 
 Good architecture has consisted, first, 
 
 telligent in their imitation than have 
 the architects of other countries, and 
 whatever distinction American archi- 
 tecture has any chance of attaining 
 must depend upon the display of simi- 
 lar merits. As a matter of fact, Amer- 
 ican architectural development has de- 
 pended upon the display of similarly 
 meritorious qualities. It would have 
 been absolutely fatal for American 
 architecture in the beginning to have 
 been anything but a reproduction of

 elusion. It had to be continued, until 
 both the architect and his public became 
 tired of mere imitation, and sought to 
 discriminate between imitation which 
 had become an indiscriminate, mechani- 
 cal and useless copying of European 
 styles and one which exercised both an 
 intelligent discrimination among these 
 styles, and which began the process of 
 intelligently adapting them to American 
 conditions and needs. 
 
 As a matter of fact, American archi- 
 tecture has passed gradually from a 
 habit of indiscriminate and incompetent 
 imitation into a conscious practice of 
 more discriminate and more competent 
 imitation. In the beginning it was 
 Georgian, because the colonies were or 
 became English colonies ; and it was as 
 natural for an American merchant to 
 build a Georgian house as it was for an 
 English merchant. It continued to be 
 Georgian for a decade or two after 1789, 
 because Americans knew no other way 
 of building; but the tendency to add 
 porches, supported by huge columns, 
 provided the transition to the next step. 
 The Classic revival followed, in the 
 adoption of which the American archi- 
 tect was merely obeying an imitative 
 idea, which extended to Europe as well, 
 and whose adoption could be defended 
 by a vague association between democ- 
 racy and classicism. It was a mistake, of 
 course, but it was a mistake which was 
 partly redeemed by the single-minded- 
 ness and sincerity with which it was ac- 
 cepted ; and because of this sincerity, 
 American architecture owes some of its 
 best buildings to the Classic revival. As it 
 happened, however, the Classic revival 
 was coincident with social and economic 
 changes in American life, which tempo- 
 rarily brought about a debasement of 
 all technical and intellectual standards. 
 The Classic revival was succeeded by 
 a period of wholly indiscriminate, unin- 
 telligent and incompetent imitation of 
 European styles ; and this fact was par- 
 ticularly unfortunate, because it occurred 
 in the decade preceding and succeeding 
 the war, when the increase of wealth in 
 the Eastern States resulted in a revival 
 of house-building. The commercial 
 architects of the time used to advertise 
 
 that they kept in stock plans for all kinds 
 of houses, in any known style. It was 
 not enough to offer the public a choice 
 between a "Greek," a Gothic and an 
 Italian villa. Swiss chalets and Orien- 
 tal kiosques were considered necessary 
 for the satisfaction of the American 
 democrats' varied individual tastes in 
 houses, and in certain cases, such a5 
 "Armsmear," near Hartford, deliberate 
 attempts were made to combine Classic 
 Gothic, Italian, Swiss and Oriental fea- 
 tures in one single building. But such 
 aberrations occurred toward the end of 
 this phase of American architectural his- 
 tory, which was due to a temporary ob- 
 literation of all technical, intellectual and 
 artistic standards — literature alone ex- 
 cepted. 
 
 During the decade immediately suc- 
 ceeding the war, a beginning was made 
 towards the re-establishment of a higher 
 technical standard in architectural de- 
 sign, and towards a more intelligent and 
 selective habit of imitation. Certain 
 architects, many of them of English 
 birth, and all of them more or less un- 
 der the influence of Ruskin, began a 
 much more sincere attempt to introduce 
 an American Gothic tradition than any 
 which had yet been made ; and in so do- 
 ing they were really taking up the thread 
 of American architectural development 
 at the point where it had fallen from 
 the hands of the Classic revivalists. 
 Tneir influence, reinforced by that of 
 Eastlake in interior decoration, domi- 
 nated what architecture there was in 
 this country almost to 1880. It had the 
 advantage of being more scholarly, bet- 
 ter equipped, and more earnest than any 
 movement which had vet made a contri- 
 bution to American architecture ; but its 
 effect was rather moral and technical 
 than stylistic. The younger men brought 
 up in the offices of these Gothic revival- 
 ists rarely remained true to the stylistic 
 bias of their masters ; but they inherited 
 a sounder technical equipment and an 
 equal amount of sincerity and enthusi- 
 asm, and they added thereto a still live- 
 lier disposition to individual self-expres- 
 sion. 
 
 The phase which succeeded the Gothic 
 revival is confused and is characterized

 force. While the Romanesque revival 
 did not long survive the death of its 
 originator, the individual power exhib- 
 ited by Richardson had its analogies in 
 the work accomplished at that time and 
 later by such architects as Root, Babb, 
 Haight, Cope and Post. The work of 
 all of these and other similar designers 
 has been characterized by great power 
 and consistency in the expression of a 
 single style ; "but they belong to the 
 period whose most vigorous exponent 
 was Richardson. Richard Morris Hunt

 firm to bring to this "battle of the styles" 
 the force of still another example — the 
 force, that is, of a very special interest 
 in the Italian Renaissance. The firm of 
 McKim, Mead & White belongs, in its 
 origin, to the group of architectural con- 
 temporaries and successors of Richard- 
 son, which has been mentioned above. 
 Its earlier work was characterized by 
 a bias towards the freer architectural 
 forms which had found favor with the 
 majority of that group; and only after

 same group, but the influence of his 
 work was different, because it combined 
 less individuality with more eclectic ten- 
 dencies — a more scholarly knowledge, 
 and wider sympathies. 
 
 All of the able designers mentioned 
 above were traditionalists, in that they 
 made no attempt to depart from the 
 American convention of imitation ; but 
 most of them sought, by the force of 
 their own example to recommend to 
 their associates and the public, one par- 
 ticular architectural style. And for this 
 very reason the result of their experi- 
 
 some years of joint practice did the 
 work of the firm exhibit a marked pre- 
 dilection for the models and forms of 
 the Italian Renaissance. When this ten- 
 dency first appeared, the contemporary 
 critic might have supposed merely that 
 one more combatant had been added to 
 the "battle of styles" ; and this account 
 of the matter would not have been whol- 
 ly devoid of truth. But it was also true 
 that the new belligerent was destined to 
 put up a much more successful fight 
 than his older rivals. Neither was its 
 comparative success due merely to the

 great ability of the individual architects, 
 in whose buildings the early Renaissance 
 forms were embodied. The profound 
 sympathy and understanding which Mc- 
 Kim, Mead & White had for Renais- 
 sance architecture had much to do with 
 the influence which their work had upon 
 their associates and successors ; but of 
 equal, if not greater, importance was

 almost heroic effort of the imagination 
 that a contemporary individual can 
 bridge the distance which separates him 
 from the Middle Ages. The task is not 
 beyond individual power ; and it is to 
 be hoped that peculiarly gifted men will 
 persist in the attempt to renew those

 the fact that they popularized by their 
 example a specific tradition, much better 
 adapted to American needs than any or 
 all phases of the Gothic, Romanesque or 
 purely Classic architecture. 
 
 The architectural tradition of the 
 Renaissance was peculiarly adapted to 
 American needs for many different rea- 
 sons. In the first place, the intellectual 
 life of modern Europe and America ac- 
 
 ideals and forms of mediaeval life which 
 are worth perpetuation. But they 
 should not for the present expect many 
 imitators, and they must be content to 
 acquire that kind of goodness which is 
 inseparable from loneliness. Their ex- 
 ample is in truth incompatible with the 
 spirit and tendency of modern life, and 
 in particular of modern architecture.

 as American, is necessarily imitative ; 
 and the work of imitation has a 
 logic of its own, which cannot be vio- 
 lated with impunity 
 
 Ideals, examples and forms capable of 
 fruitful imitation must possess a certain 
 flexibility and universality. They must 
 be the result of general and widely dif- 
 fused intellectual sympathies and ideals, 
 
 because the Roman influence in the civ- 
 ilization of the fifteenth century was 
 alive, but submerged. It was merely 
 brought to the surface by the Renais- 
 sance ; and the success of that period in 
 renewing a long-distant past, without 
 losing the quality of being modern and 
 contemporary, was a triumph for con- 
 servative intellectual reform. It showed

 instead of highly specialized intellec- 
 tual sympathies and ideals. Now the 
 ideals and sympathies of the Renais- 
 sance were themselves imitative, flexi- 
 ble, universal and broadly sympathetic. 
 They were the result of a partly 
 artificial attempt to revive Roman tra- 
 ditions, forms and examples ; but the at- 
 tempt was less artificial than it seemed, 
 
 that a people could be imitative without 
 any necessary sacrifice of individuality, 
 and that they could be innovators with- 
 out losing touch with a corrective and 
 leavening tradition. 
 
 The Renaissance revival initiated by 
 McKim, Mead & White made, conse- 
 quently, a much livelier and more per-

 than had the preceding Classic, Gothic 
 and Romanesque revivals. It placed 
 before them familiar and beautiful arch- 
 itectural forms, which could be success- 
 fully imitated without any extraordinary 
 individual imaginative effort, but which 
 at the same time worthily embodied the 
 spirit of a great architectural movement. 
 McKim, Mead & White were not, like 
 Richardson, imposing an individual pref- 
 erence on a fascinated but restricted 
 body of admirers. They were inter- 
 preting to the American public the les- 
 son in architectural history which it had 
 to learn. They were anticipating the 
 American need of an architectural style 
 which could be imitated without either 
 being falsified or re-created in the pro- 
 cess ; and for that reason their influence 
 has been much more formative than 
 that of any of the group out of which 
 they issued. Their example was not 
 only, like that of Richardson, influen- 
 tial, because it was powerful ; but it was 
 even more influential because it was 
 prophetic. It was based upon a correct 
 criticism of the comparative value for 
 the purposes of modern American arch- 
 itecture of the several leading architec- 
 tural traditions. 
 
 It rarely happens, however, that the 
 full consequences and meaning of any 
 innovation are brought out in the work 
 of the original innovator ; and, as a mat- 
 ter of fact, such has been the case with 
 McKim, Mead & White. Representa- 
 tive as they were, on the whole, of the 
 better architectural purposes of their 
 day, and prophetic as their work was 
 of the actual course of American archi- 
 tectural development, both the lesson 
 and the prophecy failed in certain re- 
 spects of being complete. For one thing, 
 the Renaissance, both in architecture 
 and in even other departments of tech- 
 nical work, has stood for very many dif- 
 ferent tendencies. If it be admitted that 
 a sane critical judgment will select the 
 Renaissance as the most available point 
 of departure for American architecture 
 of the present and the future, the fur- 
 ther question remains to be asked 
 whether every aspect of the Renaissance 
 is equally available for the purpose. 
 Should the selection be carried anv 
 
 further? Are there any good reasons 
 for preferring any one to any other 
 phase in the development of Renaissance 
 architecture? The answer which the 
 work of McKim, Mead & White makes 
 to such questions cannot be other than 
 ambiguous. On the whole, the aspect 
 of the Renaissance with which they 
 were most in sympathy was its earlier 
 Italian phase, and this preference dom- 
 inates their work. But they have not 
 been excluded thereby from borrowing 
 the forms of almost every other architec- 
 tural phase of the movement. They have 
 not scrupled to build French seven- 
 teenth century chateaux and Georgian 
 mansions, as well as early Italian villas, 
 while in other cases there is obviously 
 an ingredient in their work derived from 
 Palladio and his imitators. Nor is this 
 all. In two or three conspicuous build- 
 ings they have preferred to go direct to 
 Roman models for inspiration, and in at 
 least two cases with peculiarly conspicu- 
 ous success. Hence it would seem that 
 they could not attach much importance 
 to the selection of any one phase of 
 Renaissance architecture as better for 
 American purposes than any other 
 phase. They preferred, in this respect, 
 to keep their liberty ; and they retained 
 in this choice a surviving trace of the 
 mixture of individualism and eclecti- 
 cism which had characterized in general 
 the group out of which they had issued. 
 In another respect, also, McKim, 
 Mead & White failed to be representa- 
 tive of the later tendencies in American 
 architectural development. They have not 
 had, to the same extent, the benefit of the 
 school training which has had such a 
 profound influence on so many of their 
 contemporaries and followers. By the 
 foregoing statement, we do not mean, of 
 course, that the)- were not sufficiently 
 well-informed and well-equipped archi- 
 tects in every technical respect. Neither 
 do we mean to affirm that the school 
 training which the great majority of 
 the younger architects have enjoyed has 
 been wholly advantageous to the quality 
 of their work. The fact remains, how- 
 ever, that like the majority of the group 
 from which they issued, they received 
 the best part of their schooling in the

 offices of older architects, and in this 
 respect they differed from their younger 
 associates. Within certain limits, the 
 comparative absence of school training 
 was, considering the kind of work they 
 were destined to do, an advantage to 
 them. In all probability they would 
 never have expressed so freely, so spon- 
 taneously, and so sympathetically varied 
 aspects of the Renaissance tradition, in 
 case they had been passed through the 
 rigid discipline of the school; and in 
 that event they would have exerted a 
 less powerful personal influence on the 
 course of American architectural trans- 
 formation. But, on the other hand, the 
 extent to which they were sympatheti- 
 cally possessed by the spirit and the 
 architecture of the early Renaissance 
 had at least one less desirable effect 
 upon their work. They were fascinated 
 by the effect of these Renaissance build- 
 ings, and they sought, above all, to re- 
 produce a similarly seductive and per- 
 suasive effect in their own version of 
 these traditional forms. They succeed- 
 ed brilliantly, but their success entailed 
 
 certain penalties. In order to obtain the 
 effect they were frequently far less 
 scrupulous about the economy and the 
 propriety of their plans than a school- 
 trained architect would have dared to 
 be. On the whole, they tended to sacri- 
 fice plan to design, and to consider a 
 building chiefly as a matter of a hand- 
 some exterior. Assuming that some such 
 sacrifice was necessarily associated with 
 their brilliant and peculiar success, and 
 with the powerful influence they ex- 
 erted, the game was assuredly worth 
 the candle ; but a technical method, 
 which was in their case justified by its 
 results, might well be demoralizing to 
 less capable imitators. As a matter of 
 fact, very few of the younger architects 
 followed their example in this respect. 
 The more rigid training of the latter 
 saved them from the danger of over- 
 emphasizing an aspect of a complete 
 building, which, essential as it is, should 
 in the interest of thoroughly good work 
 be made subordinate to the plan.

 have tended to restrict the choice of their

 American tradition must be founded 
 upon an antecedent European tradition, 
 because acceptable architectural forms 
 must be served up with a garniture of 
 splendid associations and of unirtH 
 peachable authority. The notion that 
 Americans can for many generations 
 dispense with such associations and cre- 
 ate a group of local realistic forms, 
 based upon the peculiar function and 
 structure of American buildings, can re- 
 ceive no countenance from a study of 
 architectural history. The ideal on 
 which such a notion is based is an 
 aesthetic ideal, which is impossible of 
 application and which, so far as applied, 
 would be sterile in its general results. 
 
 Upon the foregoing point the great ma- 
 jority of American architects have al- 
 ways been agreed, but when Carrere & 
 Hastings began to practice there was 
 no similar consensus of opinion as to 
 the nature of the architectural style best 
 adapted to American purposes. Carrere 
 & Hastings share with McKim, Mead & 
 White the credit of having originated 
 and popularized the Renaissance revival. 
 That revival was bound to come, in any 
 event, for reasons which we have al- 
 ready indicated ; but the completeness 
 of its triumph and the form which it has 
 assumed were due to the decisive influ- 
 ence of these two firms. If their work 
 had not been intruded into the course 
 of American architecture just when it 
 was, the Renaissance revival in this 
 country might have been submerged 
 under a deluge of modern French arch- 
 itectural forms and fashions, which 
 would have really threatened the pros- 
 perity of our American architectural 
 future. The example of these two firms 
 gave, however, an initial dignity and 
 authority to the older Renaissance 
 forms, which proved to be educative to 
 the American public, and which saved 
 this country fiom becoming an archi- 
 tectural dependency of modern France. 
 Thus their influence was both radicil 
 and conservative. It was radical in that 
 it sought to establish a tradition of 
 architectural style, for which there were 
 no authoritative precedents in this coun- 
 try. It was conservative in that it gave 
 that style an expression, based upon its 
 
 better, more flexible and more dignified 
 phases. 
 
 United, however, as McKim, Mead 
 & White and Carrere & Hastings were 
 in their devotion to the better phases 
 of Renaissance architecture, a no less 
 emphatic difference is to be observed 
 in the respective policies of the two 
 firms. Carrere & Hastings almost im- 
 mediately selected as their own one of 
 the several sub-styles of the Renais- 
 sance ; whereas, McKim, Mead & White, 
 as we have seen, jumped, much as they 
 pleased, from one to another phase 
 of the Renaissance down to the end of 
 the eighteenth century. Moreover, this 
 selection by Carrere & Hastings was the 
 result not merely of personal preference, 
 although personal preference may have 
 had something to do with their choice. 
 It was founded upon a critical interpre- 
 tation of modern architectural history. 
 They selected as the style which gave 
 American architects their best oppor- 
 tunity, that of France towards the mid- 
 dle of the eighteenth century ; and this 
 style was preferred, because it mark« 
 the termination of Renaissance architec- 
 tural development. Up to that time or 
 a little later, the Renaissance forms had 
 passed through many different phases, 
 some better than others, but all of them 
 based upon an intelligent attempt to 
 give those forms a more consistent ex- 
 pression and to adapt them more com- 
 pletely to novel and contemporary needs. 
 This effort culminated in the domestic 
 architecture of France in the eigh- 
 teenth century. Thereafter came the 
 Classic and the Gothic revivals, which 
 attempted impossible tasks and which 
 broke the continuity of Renaissance 
 architectural development. They argued 
 that the best course which American 
 architecture could take at the present 
 time would be, consequently, to pick up 
 the thread of Renaissance architectural 
 development at the point where it was 
 dropped towards the end of the eigh- 
 teenth century, and so to restore the 
 architectural vessel to its true and 
 profitable course. 
 
 Such is the theory upon which in 
 general the policy of Carrere & Hast- 
 ings has been based ; and its plausibility

 and persuasiveness must appeal to 
 every disinterested person. The Classic 
 and the Gothic revivals were mistakes 
 which have interfered with the contin- 
 uity of architectural development, and 
 which diverted much sincere and en- 
 thusiastic architectural endeavor to un- 
 profitable courses. It was simply a case 
 of one extreme passing because of its 
 own excesses into another. A frigid 
 but bloated pseudo-classicism tempted its 
 
 rere & Hastings. These forms would 
 not be of much help to the American 
 architect in the design of business build- 
 ings ; but for public buildings of various 
 kinds and for private dwellings, whether 
 situated in the city or the country, they 
 have certain emphatic advantages. 
 
 The better French architecture of the 
 eighteenth century was admirable in i 
 number of essential respects. During the

 enemies to seek relief in a pseudo-Goth- 
 icism, and unless architectural develop- 
 ment is to come to an end, this tendency 
 to pass from one extreme to another 
 must be broken. American architects, 
 unless they are content to allow Amer- 
 ican architecture to remain a sterile bat- 
 tle between a multitude of stylistic sects, 
 must agree to accept the authority of 
 certain specific forms; and a verv "per-

 contemporary needs ; but they had also 
 made them so grandiose that they be- 
 came tiresome places in which to live. 
 During the eighteenth century mere 
 grandeur gave place to a much more 
 charming, an intimate kind of house, 
 which succeeded in keeping the distinc-

 tion and dignity of the older chateaux 
 while doing away with its tendency to 
 pretentious dullness. At the same time, 
 the French architects were seeking for 
 the first time to work out a satisfactory 
 style of urban architecture which should 
 take the block, rather than the individ- 
 ual house as the unit of the design ; and 
 in this attempt they were extraordinarily 
 successful. Paris, in the case of the 
 Place Vendome, contains assuredly the 
 most consistent, the most beautiful, the 
 most appropriate and the most charming 
 design for a small square of any city in 
 the world. It may be emphatically as- 
 serted, consequently, that American arch- 
 itects could not select any one Renais- 
 sance sub-style better adapted to their 
 needs than that of eighteenth century 
 French. It contains in a peculiar degree 
 the combination of being both modern 
 and traditional, and of being both charm- 
 ing and dignified. It is fresh without 
 being flippant or trivial ; and it is con- 
 ventional without being lifeless and dull. 
 Its manners, that is, are perfect; and 
 good manners are, of course, precisely 
 the great need of American architec- 
 ture. Carrere & Hastings have been as 
 successful in giving a modern American 
 version of these good French architec- 
 tural manners of the eighteenth century 
 as McKim, Mead & White have been in 
 sympathetically interpreting some of the 
 earlier phases of Renaissance architec- 
 ture. 
 
 What, however, is likely to be the 
 judgment of the future upon their va- 
 riation in policy from that of McKim, 
 Mead & White? Were they right m 
 selecting their own architectural models 
 from one particular phase of Renais- 
 sance design? And can their own spe- 
 cial choice of French eighteenth century 
 be justified? Are there any good rea- 
 sons to suppose that American architec- 
 ture should or will submit to the au- 
 thoritative guidance of this particular 
 Renaissance sub-style? 
 
 It is too soon to assert dogmatically 
 that Carrere & Hastings were or were 
 not right in their policy, and in the rea- 
 sons whereon it was founded. But while 
 a final answer to these questions must 
 be reserved for the future, one may 
 
 make a guess from the practice of the 
 younger American architects as to the 
 answers which these questions will event- 
 ually receive. Our own guess would be 
 that Carrere & Hastings were wrong in 
 certain respects and right in others. 
 They were right in claiming that each 
 individual architect should narrow the 
 area of his choice to one specific Renais- 
 sance sub-style, because the ordinary and 
 frequently even the exceptional designer 
 is likely, under such a condition, to do 
 more consistently good work. The sev- 
 eral phases of Renaissance architecture 
 are united by both historical and logi- 
 cal bonds ; but they are separated by 
 many essential differences of function, 
 of social background and of purely con- 
 temporary needs. How different the 
 whole artistic and social atmosphere of 
 the Villa D'Este and Palladio's Villa of 
 Capra. What a long road must be 
 traveled in making the transition be- 
 tween either of them and the Chateau 
 of Vaux-le-Vicomte ? Are there not 
 more differences than similarities be- 
 tween the assured distinction of the 
 Petit Trianon and the timid correctness 
 of the Georgian mansion of some Eng- 
 lish merchant? Most certainly these 
 differences can be and have been 
 bridged ; but they are bridged more by 
 flashes of sympathetic insight than Dy 
 settled habits of architectural thought. 
 The man wdio bridges them successful- 
 ly is most likely to do so while under 
 the fascination of some particular build- 
 ing ; and the attempt to adapt particular 
 buildings to novel surroundings is dan- 
 gerous for any but the ablest and most 
 conscientious architectural designers. 
 The best course for the majority of 
 architects is to accept the authority of 
 some narrower convention and to train 
 themselves to think clearly and fruitfully 
 in those particular terms. Only on 
 some such condition is he likely to ob- 
 tain a complete mastery of his archi- 
 tectural language. Only by repeated 
 experiments in the use of such a lan- 
 guage can he acquire the sort of con- 
 trol of it which would have been in- 
 stinctive with its originators; and, as a 
 matter of fact, the example of Carrere 
 & Hastings has been the one which the

 majority of their younger contempora- 
 ries have followed. The better among 
 the younger American architects are 
 usually faithful in their adopted forms 
 to one particular Renaissance or mod- 
 ern French style. 
 
 On the other hand, they have not all 
 been faithful to the same particular 
 style ; and it is too much to expect that 
 thev will be. Xo doubt American arch- 
 
 of associating individuality with arbi- 
 trary personal preferences ; and particu 
 larly in their relations with the builder: 
 of private houses, architects have tc 
 consult personal preferences in the mat- 
 ter of style other than their own. Foi 
 the present, American architects will dc 
 as much as can be expected of them, 
 in case they will only remain true to the 
 Renaissance, and not allow an intelli-

 itecture would advance much more rap- 
 idly in case the great majority of Amer- 
 ican architects would accept the author- 
 ity of one specific style, because in that 
 case their individual experiments would 
 be mutually corroborative and stimu- 
 lating; and variations, when they in- 
 truded, would have to be justified by 
 their real meaning and importance. But 
 this is a counsel of perfection. Amer- 
 icans have a deeply rooted habit 
 
 gent eclecticism to become equivalent 
 to hopeless confusion and anarchy. For 
 the present the platform of the Renais- 
 sance should be broad enough to in- 
 clude the largest and best part of Amer- 
 ican architectural practice, while, at the 
 same time, narrow enough to shut out 
 meaningless and sterile Protestantism. 
 It may be suggested, consequently, 
 that Carrere & Hastings were whol- 
 ly justified in selecting French eigh-

 teenth century as the point of depart- 
 ure of their own work, but that they 
 could hardly expect the reasons for 
 their choice to have any sufficient au- 
 thority for other American architects. 
 They are, of course, historically correct 
 in their assertion that Renaissance arch- 
 itecture ceased to develop after 1775 ; 
 
 and the idea of seeking to pick up the 
 lost thread has a certain attractive plau- 
 sibility. Yet when the matter is closely 
 considered, one begins to doubt whether 
 a thread which has been dropped can 
 be picked up at will, particularly by an 
 alien people, living under verv different 
 social and economic conditions. How-

 ever much he might like to, an Amer- 
 ican architect cannot forget all that hap- 
 pened between 1780 and 1880; and 
 whether he likes it or not, he is, as a 
 matter of fact, very much the creature 
 of all those years of wandering in an 
 architectural wilderness. The actual 
 historical thread has disappeared some- 
 where in the thicket; and even if it 
 could be found, the attempt to resume 
 the interrupted continuity of architec- 
 tural development is likely to prove fut- 
 tile. Ideals and conditions are too dif- 
 ferent. The modern world is bound up 
 indissolubly with the world of the Ren- 
 aissance ; but the ties are and must re- 
 main general and vague rather than 
 specific and continuous along any one 
 line. 
 
 The situation which in general con- 
 fronts the American architectural pro- 
 fession may then be described as fol- 
 lows. Its practitioners should agree, 
 for the most part, to continue the work 
 of establishing an authoritative conven- 
 tion of Renaissance architectural forms 
 in this country, because by so doing 
 they are putting a fruitful limitation 
 upon the range of their individual arch- 
 itectural experimentation, and because 
 Americans are, whether they realize it 
 or not, children of the Renaissance in- 
 tellectual revival. But in accepting 
 the Renaissance as the source of their 
 architectural forms, they are, as a 
 whole, under no similar obligation to 
 accept any one phase of the Renais- 
 sance. Individual architects will most 
 assuredly do very much better to limit 
 their choice to some particular sub- 
 style ; but there appears to be no un- 
 impeachable reason why they should all 
 limit their choice to the same sub-style. 
 It is the Renaissance as a general move- 
 ment to which they owe their allegiance ; 
 and the Renaissance as a general move- 
 ment is in its architectural expression 
 more a matter of a certain spirit and 
 point of view than it is of specific 
 forms. The Renaissance was itself a 
 revival of Roman architecture ; and Ro- 
 man architecture had borrowed much 
 from the architecture of Greece. Alle- 
 giance to the Renaissance means, conse- 
 quently, more than anything a perpetu- 
 
 ation of the spirit resident in Classic 
 architecture — the spirit of repose, _ of 
 measure without any sacrifice of viva- 
 citv, of simplification without attenua- 
 tion, of style which leaves room for in- 
 dividuality. An architect who can at- 
 tain to something of this Classic spirit 
 will possess the touchstone, enabling 
 him to give a beautiful and appropriate 
 rendering to any particular set of 
 Renaissance forms best suited to his 
 temperament and purpose. It is just 
 because the Renaissance constitutes our 
 means of historical connection with the 
 Classic ideal that it exercises a peculiar 
 authority over every phase of modern 
 architecture and intellectual life. The 
 Greeks should be our masters in all mat- 
 ters of form; and the artist who at- 
 tempted to infuse this Classic spirit into 
 the later forms, which he happens to 
 prefer, is merely comparable to the 
 clergyman who seeks to make the dog- 
 mas and the ritual of his sect the vehicle 
 of the spirit resident in the Gospels. 
 Neither of them is attempting to im- 
 pose certain rigid and antiquated forms 
 upon the complex of modern life (as 
 did the Classic revivalists) ; but both 
 are merely trying to keep a process of 
 imitative reproduction fresh and fruit- 
 ful by an imaginative re-capture of the 
 spirit of the original. 
 
 While it can scarcely be admitted 
 that the forms of French eighteenth cen- 
 tury architecture should possess for 
 Americans any exclusive authority, there 
 can be no doubt that Carrere & Hast- 
 ings, in basing their work upon these 
 particular forms, made a most intelligent 
 and fortunate selection. The reasons 
 which can be urged in favor of this 
 Renaissance sub-style have a great deal 
 of force. Its establishment on American 
 soil was particularly desirable, not be- 
 cause American architects could thereby 
 pick up the lost thread of Renaissance 
 architectural development, but because 
 American architecture was much in need 
 of the qualities and characteristics of 
 the better buildings of France in the 
 eighteenth century. These buildings 
 were, as we have said, a consummate 
 expression of good architectural man- 
 ners. While they did not have the sub-

 of that day, who built a country house, 
 took his choice between an overgrown 
 cottage and second-rate palace, neither 
 of which was really what he wanted 
 and needed. He wanted and needed 
 something better than a swollen cot- 
 tage, because, for the benefit of his 
 taste and the satisfaction of his imagina- 
 tion, he ought to live in a house designed 
 and planned in relation to some admirable 
 and well-developed historical style. But, 
 on the other hand, to jump from a big 
 cottage into a palatial villa was merely 
 to substitute inappropriate vulgarity for 
 a species of sprawling informality. The 
 sort of dwelling such men needed was 
 
 impersonal, because domestic establish- 
 ments of a certain scale and complexity 
 must be formed out of many elements, 
 put together with propriety, technical 
 knowledge and architectural effect. Yet 
 it must not be planned on too grand a 
 scale, because in that case it falsifies the 
 lives of its inhabitants. Carrere & Hast- 
 ings have, throughout their career, held 
 with particular success a proper balance

 between the two dangerous extremes. 
 They have designed and planned for 
 their clients houses that have distinction 
 and style, without being pretentious or 
 grandiose ; and they have been able to 
 achieve their conspicuous success at 
 least partly because they have remained 
 loyal to the spirit of the domestic archi-

 American domestic architecture. 
 
 These houses constitute a peculiarly 
 successful application to American con-

 The French eighteenth century garden 
 was a place for polite conversation and 
 for social intercourse, rather than a 
 place in which to enjoy nature; and it 
 was inevitable that in planning such an 
 apartment purely natural effects should 
 be kept in the background. But this 
 criticism should not be pushed too far. 
 The smaller French garden, laid out in 
 intimate relation to the house, is not 
 only a great convenience, but is an enor- 
 
 mous help to a host in entertaining his 
 guests. It may have a tendency to 
 over-artificiality; but such a tendency 
 is quite compatible with most charming 
 effects and results. And in this, as in 
 other respects, Carrere & Hastings have 
 been faithful to their models. Their 
 places have a kind of charm, as well a? 
 a kind of convenience, for which one 
 seeks vainly in more "natural" gardens 
 — a charm which is the result not merely

 of taste in the arrangement of details, 
 but which depends largely upon its prac- 
 tical convenience and on the artificial 
 intimacy between the house and 
 grounds. 
 
 In the praise of the best of their 
 houses, one can scarcely be too enthu- 
 siastic. From our American point of 
 view, the least natural aspect of their 
 
 mestic habits of behavior. Houses such 
 as these should, of necessity, be an in- 
 struction in good form to their inhabi- 
 tants. The peculiar merits of the eigh- 
 teenth century French house are repro- 
 duced with spirit and with effect, while, 
 at the same time, there is never a sug- 
 gestion of monotony or of literal 
 copying. Both plans and designs ex-

 country houses is their exquisite good 
 form. They have succeeded in render- 
 ing admirably the mixture of dignity, 
 distinction, courtesy and gayety charac-

 century house and manners; and for this 
 they deserve the gratitude of everyone 
 who recognizes the profound similitude 
 between domestic architecture and do- 
 
 hibit the utmost variety in details, as 
 well as in essentials. It is evident that 
 the architects have obtained a thorough 
 mastery of their vehicle, and can adapt 
 without any awkwardness their favorite 
 forms to the needs of a particular loca- 
 tion or a particular client. Superficial- 
 ly, for instance, there are profound dif- 
 ferences between the Gambrill house in

 in' Buffalo ; and these differences can all 
 be traced to the varying location and 
 character of the different buildings. The 
 situation of the Gambrill house, on a 
 comparatively small piece of ground, in 
 a highly fashionable watering place, de- 
 
 manded a treatment that should be fes- 
 tive, that carefully shut out the grounds 
 of the neighboring houses, and that was 
 adapted to open-air entertaining. We 
 doubt whether there is another house in 
 the country which is better planned and 
 designed to meet the needs of its in- 
 habitants, and which has at once more

 style and more charm. The Blair house, 
 on the other hand, occupied a conspicu- 
 ous location in the midst of a large coun- 
 try estate ; and its design and plan are 
 determined by the necessity of com- 
 manding the view, of dominating and 
 holding its own in the landscape, and 
 affording its owners the opportunity of 
 enjoying the more substantial pleasures 
 of country life. The Goodyear house, 
 finally, was situated in the immediate 
 outskirts of a large city, where privacy 
 was impossible and conspicuousness os- 
 tentatious ; and the result is a house de- 
 signed to be seen from a neighboring 
 street, and bearing the scrutiny with a 
 grave and graceful dignity. But these 
 three houses, different, as they are, in 
 plan, design and character, are all of 
 them French of the best period, and 
 arouse grateful, time-honored and 
 worthy French associations. 
 
 The example of these three houses, 
 and their clever adaptation to the dif- 
 ferent needs of their respective locations 
 and owners, bring us to another essen- 
 tial characteristic of the work of Car- 
 rere & Hastings. Interested, as they 
 are, in one particular sub-style, they are 
 never merely seeking to reproduce an 
 effect associated with certain historical 
 buildings. They approach every new 
 design from a new point of view, de- 
 termined by the needs and conditions 
 special to that job. They begin, that is, 
 with a plan in which all the practical 
 requirements are met, and which, in the 
 case of a country house, is articulated 
 with the layout of the grounds ; and it 
 is out of this plan that the design is put 
 together. Their houses, consequently, 
 with all their uniform propriety and dis- 
 tinction of appearance, are designed 
 from within out ; and in this re- 
 spect they represent a better technical 
 ideal and practice than the great ma- 
 jority of their predecessors. No archi- 
 tect should be obliged to ask a business 
 man to subordinate the economic effi- 
 ciency and productiveness of his build- 
 ing to an exterior effect. Neither should 
 he be obliged to ask the owner of a pri- 
 vate house to sacrifice some consider- 
 able convenience or practical need to the 
 exigencies of mere appearance. As long

 as the architect puts his clients in such design on these foundations. But, of 
 
 a situation he can rarely win their en- course, he is no less responsible for 
 
 tire confidence. It is his duty to accept making his design a success exclus-

 practical conditions and needs of any ance. If his design turns out to be a 
 
 real importance, and then to build his loose and ill-combined collection of

 parts, or if, although consistent enough, 
 it is wholly devoid of distinction and 
 charm, the architect has no right to 
 plead the exigencies of his plan. He 
 must, somehow, imagine a beautiful ex- 
 terior on the basis of a well-devised lay- 
 out, and if he fails he cannot escape re- 
 sponsibility. Carrere & Hastings have 
 
 their designs on the foundation of a 
 convenient, complete and consistent plan 
 is, perhaps, the characteristic for which 
 they deserve most praise. That no real- 
 ly permanent improvement can take 
 place in American architecture except on 
 the basis of the ingenious and sufficient 
 adaptation of the buildings to their func-

 been unprecedentedly successful in meet- 
 ing the practical needs of their clients 
 without any essential sacrifice of their 
 own interest in designing not only good- 
 looking houses, but houses embodying a 
 definite historical style. 
 
 The importance which Carrere & Hast- 
 ings have always attached to building up

 tions is a commonplace; but it is a com- 
 monplace which has frequently been ig- 
 nored in American architectural history. 
 During the period of hopeless decadence 
 American builders lost the tradition of 
 good planning, no less than the tradi- 
 tion of good designing. The Colonial 
 houses, for instance, embodied usually

 a simple, convenient and architecturally 
 promising plan — one which served ex- 
 cellently the practical needs of the in- 
 habitants of the houses, that articulated 
 very well with the approach and the lay- 
 out of the grounds, and which afforded 
 an opportunity for designing well-pro- 
 portioned rooms. But later every cor- 
 ruption of the methods of designing 
 was accompanied by a corruption of the 
 plan. The colonnades of the period of 
 the Greek revival deprived the houses 
 
 only respect in which they showed any 
 glimpse of ingenuity was in the matter 
 of certain improved mechanical arrange- 
 ments in respect to heating and plumb- 
 ing. Public buildings and those devoted 
 to business were also just as inconvenient 
 as they were ugly, and the worst aspect 
 of it was that the average American was 
 more attached to the familiar ineptitudes 
 of these plans than he was to the lifeless 
 mixture of corrupt historical forms 
 which passed for architecture.

 of the light necessary not merely to con- 
 venience, but to any beauty of interior 
 effect. At the worst period the plans of 
 the typical American city and country 
 house were, if possible, uglier and more 
 uncouth than their designs. The rooms, 
 whether large or small, were ill-shaped, 
 badly connected one with another, and 
 cut to pieces by huge openings and vari- 
 ous architectural excrescences. The in- 
 terior was deprived of light by an ex- 
 cess of encircling verandahs, and the

 When the revival came it was natural 
 that many of the earlier revivalists 
 should have attached more importance 
 to the designing of interesting-looking 
 buildings than to the devising of really 
 adequate plans. In the first place, im- 
 provement in design was the line of the 
 least resistance because, as we have 
 said, the average American was less like- 
 ly to insist upon the familiar ugliness 
 of the customary exteriors than he was 
 upon the far more intimate solecisms

 which surrounded his fireplace. Then 
 the architects themselves were obliged to 
 look upon their own buildings, but they 
 were not obliged to live or to transact 
 business therein ; and in the first blush 
 
 essarily brought with it certain immedi- 
 ate improvements in plan. So far as 
 country houses were concerned the arch- 
 itect immediately declared war upon 
 the old piazzas which deprived the best

 of reformatory zeal they inevitably tend- 
 ed to concentrate their energies and tal- 
 ents upon the attempt to make their 
 buildings look more interesting. Of 
 course the improvement in design nec- 
 
 living-rooms of direct light, and made 
 any propriety of exterior effect impossi- 
 ble. They also succeeded from the start 
 in simplifying the plan, enlarging and en- 
 lightening the most important rooms,

 and of course in abolishing the most se- 
 rious of the interior architectural sole- 
 cisms. But after making all allowances 
 for the influence of these earlier archi- 
 tects in doing away with some of the 
 worst faults in the traditional American 
 
 ed to sacrifice the plan to the design, 
 whenever such a sacrifice was necessary, 
 in order to make the building look more 
 interesting.

 ance of architectural composition, it was 
 absolutely necessary that the attention 
 of educated and well-to-do Americans 
 should be aroused by really entertaining 
 and vigorous appeals to their historical 
 and aesthetic sensibilities. But it is equal- 
 ly obvious that in the long run 
 the neglect of intelligent and conscien- 
 tious planning would not only hurt the 
 American architectural revival in the

 that his first duty was that of making 
 the building serve in the most econom- 
 ical manner possible the function, or the 
 combination of functions, for which it 
 was constructed. Otherwise he would 
 inevitably drift into the position of a 
 man who applied an aesthetic cosmetic

 and structure were devised by an engi-

 minds of discriminating people, but 
 would be corrupting in its general effect. 
 Inconvenient and wasteful plans are not 
 merely very annoying to the inhabitants 
 of a building, but they have a tendency 
 to result in pretentious and inappropri- 
 ate architectural effects. If the archi- 
 tect was to become, as he should be, the 
 dictator, who organized and combined 
 the work of the various mechanical and 
 technical experts, who contributed to 
 
 neer. The plan of a building is inevi- 
 tably its dominant aspect, and a prac- 
 tical people like the Americans will not 
 put up with wasteful and inconvenient 
 lay-outs. The only way in which an 
 architect can vindicate his claim to su- 
 preme control over a building operation 
 is through his ability to devise a simple 
 and adequate plan. 
 
 As a matter of fact that is precisely

 been doing. The first and most impor- 
 tant result of the school training which 
 the present generation of American 
 architects has been receiving is the 
 restoration of the plan to its proper po- 
 sition in a general architectural method ; 
 and the success which the younger men 
 trained in the great French school have 
 been obtaining has been due chiefly to 
 their thorough education in the art of 
 simple and economical planning. Their 
 clients can depend upon them to arrange 
 the lay-out of a building so that its vari- 
 ous parts will be grouped in a manner 
 which will economize time and money, 
 and serve admirably the combination of 
 purposes for which the building was 
 erected. And for the American archi- 
 tect this has become an extraordinarily 
 difficult task. The contemporary Amer- 
 ican types of building, whether resi- 
 dences, hotels, schoolhouses, apartment 
 houses or office buildings, are compli- 
 cated beyond any other types of building 
 
 in the history of the world. They con- 
 tain a wholly unprecedented amount of 
 machinery ; and they must meet a wholly 
 unprecedented variety of practical re- 
 quirements. In planning them, con- 
 sequently, the architect is confront- 
 ed by a problem whose difficulty 
 is equalled by its importance; and 
 if he had not shown himself equal 
 to the task he would inevitably have be- 
 come merely the subordinate and the 
 servant of the building engineer. That 
 he has retained his pre-eminence in 
 spite of the increasing importance of the 
 purely engineering and practical prob- 
 lems involved by the construction of 
 these buildings is a sufficient indication 
 that he is performing his task efficiently 
 and that he is receiving a training which 
 in a sufficient measure prepares him 
 for it. 
 
 Carrere & Hastings deserve peculiar 
 credit for the attitude which they have 
 always assumed in relation to this all-

 important matter. Their work has al- 
 ways been distinguished quite as much 
 by conscientious and ingenious planning 
 as by its more peculiarly aesthetic mer- 
 its; and they were in this as in other 
 respects intelligent and consistent inno- 
 vators. The importance which they 
 have always attached to their plans was 
 doubtless the result partly of the un- 
 usually prolonged and thorough school 
 
 practice 
 
 of American architectural 
 looked in another direction. 
 
 They sum up in their work better 
 than any other single firm the really 
 progressive and formative movement of 
 modern American architecture. They 
 have overlooked no idea of essential 
 importance which would tend to give 
 their work increasing propriety, dignity 
 and effect. There have been and are

 training enjoyed by the members of the 
 firm; but it was also partly the result 
 of their practical good sense and their 
 grasp of the realities of architectural 
 design. They realized from the start, 
 and acted on that realization, that the 
 modern American architect must vindi- 
 cate his pre-eminence by the adequacy 
 of his plans; and they acted on the 
 knowledge at a time when the tendency

 other American architect or firm of arch- 
 itects who have united so much excel- 
 lence in their plans with so much beauty 
 and distinction of design. 
 
 In the case of buildings of the highest 
 architectural excellence a convenient and 
 economical plan issues with apparent 
 inevitability in an appropriate and ef- 
 fective design. The two different as- 
 pects of the complete building are at 
 bottom supplementary and are scarcely 
 distinguishable whenever the architect 
 manages to achieve a really brilliant 
 success. But inevitable as the relation 
 frequently appears to be in many suc- 
 cessful buildings, its achievement has al- 
 ways been the result of patient and 
 painstaking work, ingenuity, and an 
 ability to discriminate between the es- 
 sential and unessential elements both 
 of plan and design. In the case of every 
 complicated building the varying prac- 
 tical requirements will conflict both 
 with one another and with some de- 
 sirable architectural effect, and the com- 
 pleted result almost always betrays to 
 the trained eye the series of sacrifices 
 and compromises whereby the success- 
 ful building was purchased. The archi- 
 tect exhibits his underlying interest in 
 nothing so much as in his choice of what 
 
 he will sacrifice in the event of some 
 important conflict. The tendency of an 
 imaginative man is usually to make his 
 building beautiful and effective at any 
 cost. On the other hand, many consci- 
 entious and excellent architects succeed 
 in elaborating plans which are marvels 
 of simplicity and convenience, but seem 
 unable to give those plans an architec- 
 tural body expressive either of grace or 
 energy. 
 
 Evidences of the inevitable conflicts 
 between plan and design can be detected 
 in the work of Carrere & Hastings ; but 
 their peculiar merit consists precisely in 
 the fact that they have held an admirable 
 balance among the conflicting demands 
 made upon them by their work. They 
 have designed buildings which at once 
 are beautiful, effective and convenient. 
 They have accepted and developed the 
 idea that American architecture should 
 accept the spirit and tradition of the 
 Renaissance architectural forms, while 
 at the same time they have sought to 
 make their buildings thoroughly real and 
 modern in the sense of making them 
 thoroughly practical. One can detect in 
 the policy of the firm towards all the 
 problems which confront the modern

 the result is an illustration of how mucli

 Even the most ardent admirers of Car-

 they have always been successful in as-

 such a sacrifice the architect cannot es-

 they have been unable to avoid certain 
 sacrifices of this kind. At a certain point, 
 for instance, in the attic of the New 
 Theatre the design simply ends and the 
 
 architects have allowed the remainder 
 of this crowning feature to take care of 
 itself. In the case of the new Public 
 Library the spaces of blank wall, re- 
 lieved only by niches on either side of 
 the arched portals, must assuredly be 
 explained by certain necessities of the 
 plan rather than of the design; and the 
 stilted arches of the entrance hall are 
 simply tantamount to the confession of 
 a difficulty rather than to its solution. 
 
 Blemishes such as those illustrated 
 above are peculiarly difficult to avoid in 
 a building like a Public Library, which 
 must be monumental in its effect while 
 at the same time meeting a group of 
 exacting and complicated practical re- 
 quirements. It must be said, in justice 
 to the designers, that neither of these 
 structures is entirely finished, and it 
 may be that what is at present lack- 
 ing can materially alter the ultimate 
 effect. But in case the architect does 
 not succeed in avoiding such blemishes 
 he can hardly claim a complete suc- 
 cess; and in so far as such sac- 
 rifices occur in the buildings of 
 Carrere & Hastings, they must be en- 
 tered on the debit side of the account — 
 even though it be also admitted that the 
 debt was incurred in a good cause. 
 When, however, allowances have been 
 made for all such deductions the fact 
 remains that among the public buildings 
 erected by the present generation of 
 American architects those of Carrere & 
 Hastings are distinguished both by their 
 beauty and their popularity. They have 
 held their own even in a sphere in which 
 their devotion to conscientious planning 
 might have been supposed to place them 
 most at a disadvantage. 
 
 At the present moment Carrere & 
 Hastings occupy a place peculiarly their 
 own in the ranks of the profession. 
 They stand as do no other firm both for 
 a tradition and a promise — both for a 
 fulfilment and a prophecy. Although by 
 no means the first important American 
 architects trained in the school, they 
 have done more than any other firm to 
 introduce into American design the 
 advantages without the limitations of 
 the school training. And one would 
 not dare to assert with any con- 
 
no

 fidence whether they have rendered a 
 better service in making admirable use 
 of the better technical methods or in 
 refusing to become nothing more than 
 French architects, practicing in the 
 United States. They were the first 
 prominent American architectural firm 
 to stand consistently and intelligently 
 for the results of French training and 
 the forms of French architecture ; but 
 their innovations were always made in 
 a conservative spirit, and with an intel- 
 ligent understanding of the need in this 
 country not merely of thorough train- 
 ing, but of the guiding influence of a 
 sound tradition. 
 
 Their work and their influence has, 
 consequently, been sound and construc- 
 tive from practically every point of view. 
 The two great needs of American arch- 
 itecture are the establishment all over 
 this country of a vigorous standard of 
 technical achievement, and of a sound 
 convention of architectural form. The 
 necessary technical training must be de- 
 rived largely from prolonged and seri- 
 ous scholastic work ; and even when 
 such schooling takes place in this coun- 
 try its methods must, on the whole, be 
 based on those of the great Parisian 
 Ecole. Hence, for the present, at least, 
 American architecture must necessarily 
 
 submit to the influence of French meth- 
 ods and of French forms ; and even 
 those people who do not relish the pre- 
 vailing tendencies of modern French 
 architecture and its American imitations 
 should admit the inevitability of this 
 French influence and its, on the whole, 
 desirable results. If American archi- 
 tects cannot, in the course of time, profit 
 from what is excellent in French train- 
 ing, while emancipating themselves from 
 what is meretricious in the French ex- 
 ample, it will be the fault of their own 
 unintelligence and lack of personal and 
 national independence. They certainly 
 have been shown the way. Carrere & 
 Hastings among others, but first among 
 others, have profited from the excellence 
 of French training and have detected 
 the advantages of adapting French 
 forms ; but they have done so in a man- 
 ner which was at once sympathetic, 
 spirited and discriminating. They have 
 understood that American architecture 
 needed not contemporary French fash- 
 ions, but the time-honored French tra- 
 dition of style, while, at the same time, 
 they have begun the transformation of 
 French tradition of style to American 
 needs by the special treatment of each 
 architectural problem on its own indi- 
 vidual merits.

PUBLIC 
 APPRECIATION 
 
 The memorial meet- 
 ing held about a month 
 ago in honor ot the late 
 Charles F. McKim in 
 the auditorium of the 
 New Theatre was a 
 testimonial to a noble 
 work nobly done, and 
 it was more than that. It was an in- 
 dication of the added prestige which has 
 come to the profession of the architect 
 through the efforts of a member of that pro- 
 fession whose prophetic foresight, ripe 
 training and high ideals would have made 
 him a conspicuous figure in any profession 
 which he might have selected as his life 
 work. 
 
 That McKim was really a great man there 
 could have been left no doubt in the minds 
 of that audience after listening to the senti- 
 ments delivered by ex-Ambassador Joseph 
 H. Choate and Senator Elihu Root; or the 
 more intimate addresses of Mr. Robert Pea- 
 body, of the Pine Arts Museum at Boston, 
 or of Mr. "Walter Cook, one of McKim's 
 oldest living brother professionals. Neither 
 could anyone who heard these speeches 
 doubt that the profession of architecture as 
 well as the public was a decided gainer by 
 work of which McKim was the promoter. 
 It was entirely unprecedented for a large 
 audience of New Yorkers to gather for no 
 other purpose than to hear sung the praises 
 of a departed architect. Be it understood, 
 that audience which wended its way through 
 a disagreeable raw and rainy day was not 
 one composed chiefly of brother architects. 
 On the contrary, it was a very representative 
 audience of individuals of many interests 
 whose bond of sympathy was an interest in 
 American art and architecture. It was in- 
 
 deed flattering to the profession as well as 
 to the memory of McKim the growth of that 
 interest as proved by this unprecedented oc- 
 casion. 
 
 UTILITARIAN 
 CLIENTS 
 
 It has of late been 
 COMMERCIAL often remarked in the 
 
 ARCHITE.C= proceedings of archi- 
 
 TUR.E AND tectural bodies and in 
 
 the pages of the archi- 
 tectural press that the 
 architect as a profes- 
 sional' man has, up to 
 date, attained a very indifferent standing 
 with his clients and the public. The most 
 frequent reason assigned for the general in- 
 difference to the architect and his work as 
 such is the general commercial tendency of 
 the age in which, some critics say, we are 
 "so unfortunate" as to live. Others say that 
 the ultimate development of the art of archi- 
 tecture has been reached and therefore the 
 architect of the present must be merely a 
 copyist if he would, in any sence, be worthy 
 of the name artist. He must, in his feeble 
 way, help to perpetuate the glorious past. 
 
 It occurred to the writer, while calling on 
 a gentleman who has had extensive experi- 
 ence in designing commercial buildings, 
 that there might be something of interest 
 to the profession as well as to the public on 
 the question of commercial architecture and 
 utilitarian clients. In discussing the sub- 
 ject he found that he was not deceived. 
 
 "It seems inexplicable to me," he began, 
 "after so many years of laboring on the 
 problem of the commercial building here in 
 New York and elsewhere, that architects as 
 a class should still be so far away from 
 what are for them the vital issues involved. 
 The commercial building, as its name ira- 
 
I J. 
 
 THE ARCHITECTURAL RECORD. 
 
 plies, is, of course, first and foremost a 
 business proposition. This is the owner's 
 view and it should be the architect's 
 as well if he would arrive at a 
 conclusion satisfactory to his client and, as 
 far as possible, to himself. To the archi- 
 tect, of course, the problem of commercial 
 building means something more than merely 
 making it pay. It means the marshalling of 
 the great number of conditions into a 
 smooth-running and harmonious whole. It 
 is here that his capacity for design is tested. 
 When it is taken into consideration how 
 many different sets of conditions must enter 
 his calculations and how much detailed 
 knowledge is involved, it becomes compre- 
 hensible that an owner should be willing to 
 believe necessary the services of an expert 
 who is capable of making for him out of 
 such chaos a workable machine." 
 
 "But," I interrupted, "is it not a fact that 
 the development of architecture has ever 
 been attended by the greater complexity of 
 the practical conditions to be met?" Should 
 not the architect's standing with his clients 
 be better to-day than it ever was in olden 
 times? 
 
 "Yes and yes, decidedly," were the answers. 
 The story of the development of architec- 
 ture from the Greek Temple to the Metro- 
 politan Life Tower is an account of the in- 
 creasing complexity of building conditions. 
 Take for example, the transition from Greek 
 to Roman civilization. What a revo- 
 lution in the art of building it involved! 
 And yet the Roman architects were equal to 
 the feat required of them. We of the 
 twentieth century have experienced greater 
 changes since and are experiencing them 
 every day. But are we meeting the condi- 
 tions as well? And what has all this change 
 to do with arresting the development of 
 building as an art? One can readily sympa- 
 thize, of course, with the view of some mem- 
 bers of the profession who are so wedded 
 to their 'art' that a sane consideration of 
 the immediate problems pressing for solu- 
 tion seems to them an utter waste of effort. 
 From what a distorted and narrow stand- 
 point such a view must regard the prob- 
 lems of a modern skyscraper! And yet "pull" 
 and political influence are supposed to ac- 
 count for the phenomenal prosperity of some 
 architects and the comparative failure of 
 others. Improper influence is, of course, 
 at work in every field of activity 
 and it always has been so, but a careful 
 analysis in the case of commercial archi- 
 tecture at least, will convince the investi- 
 gator that patronage is generally distributed 
 with partiality only because such partiality 
 has been honestly earned by past success." 
 
 The writer was not prepared for so frank 
 an admission of the shortcomings of the 
 profession from one of its oldest members, 
 but on reflection he was able to call to mind 
 instances of architects of the highest stand- 
 ing who have not proved themselves es- 
 pecially strong in solving the problems of 
 commercial buildings and who, in conse- 
 quence, have not been overburdened with 
 jobs of this kind. One instance especially 
 stands out as a good example of the fairness 
 of things. There are several prominent bank- 
 ing houses and a number of office buildings 
 in the financial district of New York which 
 have been very widely admired for their 
 architectural character. Inquiry of the suc- 
 cess of these propositions as investments 
 discloses the fact that they contain a num- 
 ber of vacant offices and the cause is not 
 hard to seek; the illumination is insufficient 
 for office purposes. The windows turned out 
 smaller than the conditions of use war- 
 ranted, although a satisfactory external ar- 
 chitectural composition had been arrived at. 
 The light shaft was, of course, too small and 
 too deep to help matters much. The build- 
 ings are not suitable for their purposes and 
 the architect cannot hope to be recommended 
 by them for similar work in the future. 
 Older office buildings afford instances of 
 mistaken architectural solutions where the 
 initial expense incurred and the character 
 of the accommodations afforded have pre- 
 cluded any possibility of financial success. 
 On the other hand, it is observable that 
 commercial buildings which have satisfied 
 the expectations of their owners are gen- 
 erally well planned and consistently designed 
 in keeping with the funds at disposal. 
 
 It is in the field of commercial work es- 
 pecially that the architect can most effect- 
 ively demonstrate his value as an expert, 
 and it is in buildings of this kind that the 
 issues involved are most clearly understood 
 by the public. When once the architect 
 has demonstrated to an owner's satisfaction 
 that architectural services are valuable in 
 that they save and make money for him, 
 just so soon will he be willing to allow his 
 architect a freer scope in spending money 
 where it is impossible to show beforehand 
 that there will result therefrom any benefit 
 to the owner's pocketbook. Of course, an 
 architect can obtain a client's confidence 
 only by demonstrating to him that he is en- 
 titled to it, and the only way in which such 
 a demonstration can be effected is by an 
 architect's complete mastery of the thousand 
 and one things which decide him in finally 
 formulating his solution of the design. The 
 evidence of such a mastery is irrefutable. 
 
 Commercial architecture holds the key

 whereby the architect may admit himself to 
 that professional standing to which his call- 
 ing entitles him. The client will continue 
 to be utilitarian, but what matters it so 
 long as the architect possesses the con- 
 fidence of the man for whom he is working 
 and while he accepts and interprets his re- 
 quirements is able to impose upon him the 
 higher standards of the profession. 
 
 At the close of the 
 campaign, the munici- 
 paper "Philadelphia" 
 WHAT appeared with a sup- 
 
 CITY BUILDS plement of upwards of 
 fifty pages, and all 
 these pages were de- 
 voted to illustrations — 
 two to the page — of public improvements 
 made locally between April, 1907, and Octo- 
 ber, 1909. The first thirty pictures were of 
 bridges and viaducts, and that was the best 
 work shown. The next twenty-four pictures 
 illustrated schools, completed or in process 
 of construction. Some good work was 
 shown, but judged by standards lately es- 
 tablished in Chicago, St. Louis, and New 
 York these were not notable— as many of 
 the bridges certainly are. Views of the 
 water filtration plant occupied the central 
 pages, and then came about a dozen views 
 of fire and police stations. After these were 
 the new bath houses. The balance of the 
 magazine was devoted to smaller parks, 
 sewer and filtration work, and finally new 
 hospitals. Very seldom indeed is the op- 
 portunity given thus to review pictorially 
 the construction work done by a city 
 through a term of months. On the whole, 
 it may be said that the work shown seems 
 substantial, practical, but from the point of 
 view of architectural design quite common- 
 place — the bridge work being, as said, an 
 exception. The most striking thing about 
 the collection of pictures is its magnitude — 
 an impressive illustration of the quantity of 
 public improvement work which goes on 
 quietly and in matter of fact fashion in the 
 course of a city's normal development. The 
 re-building of cities is in progress all the 
 time, and the greatest builder is the city 
 itself. 
 
 There was put on ex- 
 hibition last month, in 
 the museum in City 
 City Park in Denver, a 
 collection of E. H. 
 Blashfield's studies for 
 his mural decorations, 
 and many large photo- 
 graphs of the completed paintings. The in- 
 cident seems to have a significance above

 most such exhibitions. It was arranged 
 under the auspices of the Architects' Club 
 of Denver — a club which, having been or- 
 ganized only a few weeks, thus gave im- 
 mediate proof of its virility and of its 
 probable usefulness to the community. Den- 
 ver is the first city of the West to see such 
 an exhibition. Perhaps as little as ten years 
 ago the West would not have cared to see it, 
 or, if seeing it, have — generally speaking — 
 understood it. But there has lately been a 
 rapid development of art interest in that 
 section of the country, and within five years 
 Minnesota, Wisconsin and Iowa have beau- 
 tified their State buildings with the work of 
 the foremost mural painters. Mr. Blash- 
 field is himself under contract now for a 
 large panel for the new State capitol at 
 Pierre, S. D. The subject of the Western 
 mural paintings are for the most part his- 
 torical, and connected with the regions in 
 which the paintings are drawn — as the dis- 
 covery of the Mississippi, at St. Paul, the 
 "Westward," at Des Moines — and thus help 
 to at once visualize and idealize the history 
 of the section. It can be readily believed 
 that the exhibition, in bringing together the 
 representations of these paintings which can 
 be seen in the original only by those who 
 visit the far scattered cities where they are, 
 must be very stimulating in the West, and 
 may in its effect prove a real art event. For 
 mural painting, as developed with its ideal 
 personifications, opens a new world of art, 
 poetry and romance. In New York, Mr. 
 Blashfield had on exhibition for a few days 
 last month the interesting mural decora- 
 tion, "Law," which is to occupy a panel 
 above the seat of the judges in the Court 
 House at Cleveland, of which Arnold W. 
 Brunner is the architect. 
 
 BOSTON'S 
 
 NEW MUSEUM 
 
 OF 
 
 FINE ARTS 
 
 There is very general 
 praise for the new 
 building, recently open- 
 ed, of the Boston 
 Museum of Fine Arts. 
 Located on a site of 
 twelve acres, on Hunt- 
 ington Avenue and the 
 Fenway, it is in that new and imposing 
 quarter of Boston where are gathered the 
 buildings of the Harvard Medical School, the 
 new Opera House, Simmons College, Fenway 
 Court, Symphony Hall, etc. Though less 
 than half the structure ultimately contem- 
 plated, it presents a faQade of 500 feet on 
 Huntington Avenue, and is of sjich beauty 
 and dignity as to be free from any sug- 
 gestion in its aspect of present incomplete- 
 ness. The style is classical, freely inter- 
 preted, and the material is cut granite. The 
 main entrance has triple doorways with mas-

 sive bronze doors, and above the entrance is 
 a portico with four Ionic columns. This 
 motif has been repeated in simpler form in 
 the pavilions which advance from the wings 
 on either side, the present building consist- 
 ing of two wings and the cetnral block con- 
 necting them. It covers an area of seventy- 
 three thousand square feet. The two pro- 
 jecting wings it has been, perhaps, fantasti- 
 cally imagined, have the effect of arms held 
 out in invitation and welcome. At all events, 
 there is nothing forbidding about the ar- 
 rangement. As to the interior, there is 
 ample justification, as might have been ex- 
 pected, for the unusual degree of serious 
 study that was devoted to the planning and 
 lighting of the building. Some novel ideas 
 have been embodied. Bach department is 
 accommodated in a section that appears to 
 be structurally separate and a complete 
 museum in itself. The second, or main ex- 
 hibition, floor contains the cream of the col- 
 lection of each department— that is, it con- 
 tains the objects that are most beautiful and 
 most appeal to the general public; the floor 
 below contains the research or study col- 
 lections, more comprehensive and more com- 
 pactly installed. There are seven great de- 
 partments, and in each the greatest care has 
 been taken to give the objects exhibited not 
 only the best possible light but the most ad- 
 vantageous sort of background. The latter 
 efforts have resulted in some very interest- 
 ing color schemes, with various shades of 
 gray the most common tone. 
 
 PITTSBURGH 
 HAS 
 
 AN IDEAL 
 
 The Pittsburgh Civic 
 Commisison has issued 
 most attractively a 
 decorative little bro- 
 chure defining its plan 
 and scope. That the 
 program, lists of com- 
 mittees, etc., should be 
 issued in this delightfully appealing form is 
 a thing to note. The brown cover carries 
 the title in gilt lettering and the seal of the 
 city in color. There are many illustrations, 
 and every page is framed. When Pittsburgh 
 makes up its mind to do a thing, it never 
 wants for money. Following the title page, 
 there comes, below a picture of old Fort 
 Pitt, a brief definition of the purpose of the 
 Commission. This is summed up, really, in 
 the last lines of the definition: "to establish 
 such living and working conditions as may 
 set a standard for other American industrial 
 centers." On the next page is the list of 
 officers, and of the Advisory Board. The lat- 
 ter includes such men in New York as Rob- 
 ert W. DeForest, John M. Glenn, John W. 
 Alexander and Seth Low; as. in Chicago, D. 
 
 H. Burnham; as, in Boston, Robert A. 
 Woods. Then are three pages of committees, 
 covering the many phases of municipal de- 
 velopment: Education, City Planning, Mu- 
 nicipal Art and Design, City and District 
 Housing, Public Hygiene and Sanitation, etc. 
 In all there are fourteen committees, each 
 having as chairman a member of the main 
 Commission. The committees are to study, 
 within their several special fields, the pos- 
 sibilities and needs of the city. By com- 
 parison of the progressive policies of other 
 cities, with the advice of men of practical 
 experience and by a grasp of actual local 
 conditions, the committees will formulate 
 their plans. The execution of the plans is 
 to be secured by creating an effective and 
 persistent public opinion in their behalf. Fof 
 this purpose the Commission has created 
 ward organizations, which will carry the 
 plans into every local organization. The 
 Commission announces that it deems that 
 an expenditure of "at least $50,000 per year 
 is necessary" for carrying on its work. The 
 whole wonderful movement is Pittsburgh's 
 reply to the findings of the "Pittsburgh Sur- 
 vey." 
 
 ST. JOHN'S 
 CHAPEL, 
 
 The annual report of 
 the American Scenic 
 and Historic Preserva- 
 tion Society, which has 
 just come from the 
 NEW YORK press, says of last win- 
 
 ter's protest against 
 the determination of 
 Trinity corporation to allow the destruction 
 of old St. John's Chapel, that the protest, 
 temporarily successful, was one "which has 
 not been paralleled in both kind and extent 
 within the memory of the present genera- 
 tion." It adds: "If anyone ever thought 
 that the people of New York 'lacked his- 
 torical imagination,' as has been charged, 
 the popular demand for the preservation of 
 this century-old building was enough to dis- 
 prove it." The Society took the same posi- 
 tion regarding this venerable landmark, 
 which is intrinsically valuable as a fine 
 specimen of church architecture, that it had 
 taken with regard to the preservation of 
 the beautiful old First Presbyterian Church. 
 This is the plea that in the ever changing 
 metropolis the people must look to the 
 churches and cognate institutions for their 
 landmarks and evidences of stability. 
 "Business structures and apartment houses 
 rise and disappear in a generation under the 
 exigencies of the city's growth. There is 
 little permanence upon which to fasten one's 
 memories, affections and historical tradi- 
 tions. The city needs just such piles as old

 St. John's." The plans for the chapel, 
 which are believed to have been made by 
 John and Isaac McComb, were adopted by 
 the vestry May 12, 1803. The building was 
 begun that year and completed in 1SU7 at 
 a cost of $172,833.64, which, as the So- 
 ciety's report truly says, "was considered 
 enormous at that time." The foundations, 
 portico, front and tower are built of red 
 sandstone, and the walls of rough hewn, 
 grayish native stone "of the island appar- 
 ently," stuccoed. Its style answers to the 
 general term Georgian, but is more mas- 
 sive and ornate than St. Paul's. Shorn of 
 its former beautiful and open surroundings, 
 it is now "pent up between big buildings on 
 the north and south, while its front steps are 
 only fifty-seven feet from the freight depot 
 across Varick Street an the west, and its 
 rear wall is only twenty-four feet from the 
 front wall of the buildings across St. John 
 Street on the east." 
 
 THE. 
 
 BOSTON 
 
 EXPOSITION 
 
 In spite of the short 
 time which was al- 
 lowed for preparation, 
 the Boston-1915 Expo- 
 sition proved as big 
 and as interesting as 
 its friends predicted 
 that it would— which is 
 to say that, while not absolutely ideal in its 
 ordination, it was the biggest and most in- 
 teresting exposition of its kind that any city 
 has ever held, fully justifying the phrase in 
 
 the advertisements, "See Boston as you 
 never knew it." It was open for the whole 
 month of November in the old Fine Arts 
 Museum on Copley Square, and between the 
 exhibits and the attending crowd's there 
 was not an inch of room to spare. The Bos- 
 ton "Transcript," which had shown a marked 
 lack of enthusiasm before the exposition 
 opened, said after it closed: "It won its way 
 to the public heart by sheer dint of 'service' 
 and sincerity. It opened the eyes of the 
 people to both the riches and the shortcom- 
 ings of our every day life The pace 
 
 set for us was seen in the ideal pictures of 
 the new Chicago, promised by the move- 
 ment in progress there, and in the ground- 
 plan of the new Kingsway in London." If 
 the exposition did this, it certainly served 
 its purpose, and it is most interesting to 
 know that by means of an ahmission fee it 
 paid its way in so-doing. The catalogue 
 was not only complete and extensive, but 
 appropriately of educational value. This is 
 because it contained, as introductory to the 
 list of exhibits in each department, a com- 
 petently written, signed, and popularly in- 
 forming article on what that department 
 stood for. Thus there is first an article en- 
 titled "What City Planning Means," by 
 Frederick Law Olmsted. The catalogue of 
 exhibits of Public Buildings, arranged by 
 the Boston Architectural Club, is introduced 
 by an article on the subject of their location 
 by Robert P. Bellows. Philip Cabot writes 
 the article introducing the list of exhibits of 
 Housing; Herbert J. Kellaway that intro- 
 ducing the list of exhibits of parks and play- 
 grounds. On railways, docks and highways, 
 Arthur A. Shurtleff was the writer. Just as 
 the exposition opened, Dr. Hegemenn, a 
 young German who had been assisting in its 
 preparation, was called back to Berlin to 
 help prepare a municipal exhibition to be 
 held there next summer. So extends the 
 practice of holding municipal exhibits. 
 
 PLEA FOR 
 
 HARMONIOUS 
 
 BUILDING 
 
 In the review of Ray- 
 mond Unwin's book on 
 Town Planning,* which 
 was printed in this 
 magazine last month, 
 the English author was 
 quoted as advocating 
 the enforcement of 
 regulations requiring the use in construc- 
 tion work of certain materials in certain 
 streets, fixing definite roof lines, angles, etc. 
 The idea will seem fantastic to a good many

 Americans, though his argument is un- 
 answerable: "If we are to have beauty of 
 surroundings — and for what does the pro- 
 fession of architecture exist if it is not to 
 produce beautiful surroundings? — we must 
 set our faces against the development of 
 such incongruities in our buildings as com- 
 pletely destroy the harmony of our street 
 pictures." Now it is interesting, on top of 
 this plea, to come across a little article pub- 
 lished in a neighborhood paper two or three 
 weeks before Unwin's book appeared, in 
 which Claude Bragdon, one of the most 
 thoughtful and interesting of our own 
 younger architects, makes an exactly simi- 
 lar plea. Mr. Bragdon says in the course 
 of his article in "The Pinnacle," paper 
 
 which represents a small residential section 
 in Rochester— indeed, his paper is entitled, 
 "Ideals for the Architecture of the Four- 
 teenth Ward," that there are three things 
 to be striven for. in securing beauty for a 
 street: "First, unity of style. Widely di- 
 vergent types of houses should not be built 
 in juxtaposition, as one so often finds them, 
 —pillared portico check by jowl with rustic 
 piazza. Second, similarity of materials. 
 Brick, frame, and plaster houses, indiscrimi- 
 nately interspersed make a street resemble a 
 suit of clothes in which coat, vest and trou- 
 sers are cut from different kinds of cloth. 
 Third, harmony of color. The colors of ad- 
 jacent houses should be, not necessarily the 
 same (though that is often pleasing, too) 
 but harmonious with one another. It is fur- 
 ther desirable that there be no marked dif- 
 ferences of level in water-table, cornice and 
 roof lines, in order that the eye may be 
 led without interruption down the vista of 
 the street." This is going quite as far as 
 Mr. Unwin ventures. Most interesting, too, 
 is Mr. Bragdon's suggestion that in this 
 matter we may gain a hint from certain 
 streets in such old towns as Salem, Ports- 
 mouth and Annapolis, that are "unsurpassed 
 for beauty of general effect" notwithstand- 
 ing all the money which is nowadays spent 
 on houses and grounds. In those streets, 
 "the houses, built at substantially one pe- 
 riod—a period characterized by taste and 
 discretion— are individually charming, 
 
 though all in the same style (the so-called 
 colonial), and of the same material, red 
 brick and wood, painted white." From 
 them, he thinks, we may learn the lesson 
 that restraint of individuality in architec- 
 ture, in the interests of a general effect or 
 impression, involves the sacrifice of but ex- 
 cesses and excrescences. 
 
 Some weeks after Mr. Bragdon's paper 
 was printed, Mr. Unwin returned a£rain to 
 
 the theme in an address before the Letch- 
 worth Art Workers' Guild, which is now 
 printed in "The City," a little monthly pub- 
 lished at Letchworth. He notes that town 
 planning, to have any real stability, "must 
 be the direct outgrowth of the activities 
 of the community who are to dwell and 
 work in the town or suburb when built," 
 and that there must be secured "the co- 
 operation of the architects who may design 
 the individual buildings of which the com- 
 pleted whole will be composed. From them 
 we shall have to ask that they shall ever 
 remember that the part is not greater than 
 the whole. . . . During the last century ar- 
 chitecture in this country has been, general- 
 ly speaking, individual only. There ha3 
 been no tradition, no conscious agreement, 
 no regulation to co-ordinate the work of 
 different men. Each has concentrated his 
 attention on his own building." This is 
 too sweeping a statement to be quite just, 
 but it is so nearly true that it gives much 
 point to Mr. Unwin's reply to those who 
 say that they like "plenty of variety." 
 "These people," says he, "seem to think 
 that variety means mere unlikeness of sev- 
 eral things to each other, but that is not 
 variety at all. Variety means simply the 
 minor changes of some fixed type. In 
 music we speak of an air with variations. 
 Each phrase is varied from the air; but the 
 air, the common likeness, is greater than 
 the differences. "Variety consists of subtle 
 changes wrought in things essentially re- 
 lated. Unity must dominate." Coming, 
 further on, to concrete considerations, he 
 says: "The element of design is especially 
 needed in suburban streets. Too often, on 
 the one hand, we see to-day endless monoto- 
 nous rows of houses, repetitions of some 
 unit uninteresting in itself and small in 
 scale in relation to the street. On the other 
 hand, we have the equally monotonous 
 street of detached or semi-detached villas, 
 needlessly repeated, or — and this is almost 
 worse— each different to a degree that dis- 
 sociates it from any of its neighbors. We 
 may have scattered buildings, near enough 
 to each other to destroy any of the ordi- 
 nary beauty of the country and yet too 
 scattered to give any sense of architectural 
 effect or to acquire any of the beauty one 
 associates with the town. On suburban 
 roads the distance between the buildings in 
 relation to their height tends to be too 
 great, and the street pictures either repre- 
 sent long straight vanishing lines converg- 
 ing at some distant point, or a mere Jum- 
 ble of unrelated buildings on opposite sides 
 of a wide road, meandering on without pro- 
 
128

 ducing any definite effect at all. To obtain 
 a successful result it seems to me we must 
 adopt the principle of grouping our build- 
 ings into larger wholes, creating larger units 
 in the street picture." All this is certainly 
 very interesting and suggestive, and how- 
 ever trite the thought may be its expres- 
 sion at least is comparatively novel. That 
 it should be voiced independently but sim- 
 ultaneously by an architect in the United 
 States and an architect in England, is pos- 
 sibly significant of its widespread perva- 
 siveness in the profession. If that is true, 
 results may be looked for. 
 
 This little book be- 
 LES longs to the series en- 
 
 ARCHITECTES titled "Les Grands Ar- 
 tistes-Collection d'En- 
 seignement et de Vul- 
 garisation," which is 
 GOTHIQUES* published under the 
 
 patronage of the Ad- 
 ministration of the Beaux-Arts. Forty- 
 nine volumes for the lives of painters and 
 sculptors have already appeared in this se- 
 ries and this is the first work to be thrown 
 into the scales on the side of architecture. 
 The plea of the author on behalf of the 
 architects of history deserves more than 
 passing consideration and in the very con- 
 siderable number of sets of Artists' bio- 
 graphies which are now appearing on all 
 sides, it is much to be desired that the 
 architects should figure prominently, where- 
 as as a matter of fact the historic archi- 
 tects do not figure at all. 
 
 As the author, M. Stein remarks, people 
 have a habit of considering names. They 
 attribute importance to personality. If no 
 name is mentioned as author, the monu- 
 ment suffers, in the estimation of the man 
 in the street. As a matter of fact the 
 perversity of human nature has. in recent 
 years, as regards its studies of historic art, 
 given very over-balanced attention to paint- 
 ing and protests in favor of architecture 
 are certainly in order. No doubt popular 
 interest controls the publishers and no doubt 
 popular interest thinks paintings more im- 
 portant, but popular interest is mistaken. At 
 all events we have here in M. Stein's work 
 an effort to restore the balance of things. 
 
 It is well known that details of the lives 
 of the mediaeval architects are meager, but 
 it may not be widely realized how much 
 
 has been done by recent students to re- 
 trieve at least the skeleton and outline 
 knowledge of this subject. M. Stein has 
 properly conceived his topic as involving 
 an ordered and scientific, though brief, ac- 
 count of the great French Gothic cathe- 
 drals, but in spite of the small dimen- 
 sions of his book it probably furnishes the 
 only extant compendious account and list of 
 the architects of these buildings. Little 
 is known about them but that little de- 
 serves all possible prominence. 
 
 The French compendiums of the general 
 class to which this one belongs have a 
 world-wide reputation for combining scien- 
 tific method and accurate scholarship with 
 an attractive and classic literary style and 
 with popular quality. This book is no ex- 
 ception to the general rule and in view of 
 its rather difficult subject matter may be 
 considered one of the best of its always 
 excellent class (in France).

 SOUTHERN A charter was grant- 
 
 PENNSYL- ed, November last, by 
 
 the York County Court 
 to the Southern Penn-

 OF the American Institute 
 
 ARCHITECTS oi Architects. The 
 
 granting of this char- 
 ter and the establishing of this chapter, 
 which is to cover several counties of Penn- 
 sylvania, with its headquarters at York, 
 will be of far reaching importance to the 
 public and to the profession. The estab- 
 lishing of this chapter will mean a still fur- 
 ther widening in this state of the scope 
 and influence of the American Institute of 
 Architects which was incorporated in the 
 city of New York, April 13, 1857, for the 
 purpose, as was stated in its articles of 
 incorporation, "to elevate the architectural 
 profession as such, and to perfect its mem- 
 bers practically and scientifically." 
 
 The Southern Pennsylvania Chapter was 
 organized with the following officers: John 
 Hall Rankin of Philadelphia, president; D. 
 Knickerbacker Boyd of Philadelphia, vice- 
 president; B. F. Willis of York, secretary; 
 J. A. Dempwolf of York, treasurer, and 
 Colbert A. MacClure of Pittsburgh. 
 
 Prior to the admission of the new chap- 
 ter there were two chapters in Pennsyl- 
 vania; those of Philadelphia and Pittsburgh. 
 These three chapters will now constitute 
 the Pennsylvania State Association of Ar- 
 chitects which was organized at Harrisburg 
 last February.

 A house gets its market value quite as much 
 from its appearance as from what it represents 
 in dollars and cents. An unattractive, cheap roof

 to the Steinway Studios 
 will reveal that, in these 
 masterpieces of pianocraft, music and 
 decorative art are so deftly blended that 
 they at once command the admiration and 
 praise of architect, artist and connoisseur.

 Perfect Water 
 Supply Service 
 
 The residences and bungalows illustrated 
 on this page are provided with all the sanitary 
 conveniences which would be possible with a 
 good water supply service. In each, a liberal 
 supply of running water is available at all 
 plumbing fixtures and outside connections; and 
 that supply has strong pressure behind it. This 
 splendid water supply service is furnished by — 
 
 The Kewanee System of Water Supply 
 
 In the Kewanee System, there is no attic or elevated tank to leak, freeze, overflow or 
 collapse, or to mar the beauty of the scenery. Instead, a Kewanee Pneumatic Tank is placed 
 in the cellar or buried in the ground. Water is pumped into this tank from any source of 
 supply, with any good pumping power; and it is delivered to the fixtures by air pressure. 
 
 The Kewanee System is not an experiment — there are over 10,000 of our plants in 
 successful operation. Every Kewanee System is thoroughly guaranteed — we take all the risk 
 and responsibility. 
 
 Mr. R. J. Bagby, whose residence is illustrated on this 
 page wrote : "The Kewanee System works perfectly and 
 is satisfactory in every respect." 
 
 Rev. J. Wilbur Chapman, whose place is shown below 
 says: "We are perfectly delighted with the Kewanee 
 System which supplies our country house with water, and 
 I wish again to thank you for sending me so fine an outfit." 
 
 j'i . B. M. Hord's compliment is this: "My Kewanee 
 System is absolutely perfect." 
 
 Gen. H. O. Corbin said : "The Kewanee System works 
 better than I thought possible — all like it very much." 
 
 We make no charge for our specifications 
 and estimates. Our engineering department is at your service ; and our broad practical 
 experience will be of value to you. 
 
 Our illustrated catalogue will give you full information regarding the 
 Kewanee System. It is free. Please mention this magazine when you write.

 No one knows better than big archi- 
 tects — the men who plan and superin- 
 tend the construction of the great 
 modern buildings — the superiority of 
 red lead as the preserver of the steel 
 skeletons of these immense structures. 
 
 And they are the ones who use it. 
 
 If you are interested in steel-framed 
 buildings read "How to Protect Struc- 
 tural Metal," the latest work on the 
 subject. Free to architects on request. 
 
 SPECIAL NOTICE : Our white lead in our new 
 steel kegs may be expected to appear on jobs from now 
 on. The package will be unfamiliar to inspectors for a 
 while, but the Dutch Boy Painter trademark on the side 
 of the keg will be the guaranty as before.

 Ours is an a bsolute SCIENCE. 
 
 It permits of no chance-medley 
 of compounds. It prevents the 
 use of ingredients of untested qual- 
 ity — it eliminates haphazard 
 guessing as to quantities. 
 
 It took years of experience and experiment 
 to bring our formulae to their present state of 
 perfection. Never will we chance their 
 efficiency. 
 
 Exacting science guards them against 
 laxness of quality — it protects them against non- 
 uniformity.

 Wood Finishes 
 
 always have and always will give the most 
 satisfactory results — yesterday, today, tomorrow. 
 
 They develop the natural beauty of the 
 wood without raising, obscuring or clouding 
 the grain. 
 
 They give an elastic, tough finish that in- 
 sures permanence of beauty — wonderful 
 durability. 
 
 Leading architects, contractors and furni- 
 ture, piano and car manufacturers have used 
 them for years — because they are practical, 
 easy to apply, economical and of uniform best 
 quality. Let us prove them to you.

 SPECIFY 
 CARTER WHITE LEAD 
 
 IT is not sufficient merely to specify 
 " Pure White Lead." There are kegs 
 of so called white lead on the market 
 with a label like this: "We guarantee 
 the white lead in this package to be per- 
 fectly pure," and the maker has forgotten 
 to give his name and address. He has for- 
 gotten also to put in all white lead — two- 
 thirds or more of the contents is silica, 
 barytes, or worse. 
 
 Architects who have specified Carter White 
 Lead for years, know by experience that its 
 purity and extreme whiteness are not merely 
 features of the label, but of every ounce of 
 the lead itself. Not an ounce of adultera- 
 tion was ever put into Carter White Lead 
 — not an ounce ever will be. 
 
 Specify "CARTER" for your own protec- 
 tion — see that the contractor uses Carter 
 as specified. 
 
 Every architect should possess a copy of our practical 
 paint book, "Pure Paint,''' with a set of modern color 
 plates. The booklet gives much valuable informa- 
 tion on the paint subject and the color schemes will be 
 helpful in designating color combinations to clients.

Matheson Pure White Lead 
 
 IN STEEL PACKAGES 
 
 RECOGNIZING the superiority of steel over either wood 
 or tin packages for White Lead, we are now prepared 
 to furnish MATHESON STRICTLY PURE WHITE 
 LEAD, in all sizes from iz)4s to ioos, in the Steel Packages illus- 
 trated above. 
 
 Steel packages do not absorb oil, and White Lead therefore 
 keeps in perfect condition for any length of time, and there is no 
 waste from lead adhering to the package or loss of oil by absorption. 
 
 The 12)4, 25 and 50-pound buckets make most convenient 
 paint pots, the inside being smooth from top to bottom, so that 
 the entire contents can be used and the pot perfectly cleaned. 
 
 Matheson White Lead is superior to any other White 
 Lead on the American market in whiteness, fineness, cov- 
 ering power and durability, and can be specified by architects 
 with perfect assurance that it will prove satisfactory to their 
 clients and creditable to themselves.

THE ARCHITECTURAL RECORD. 
 
 Practical Artificial 
 Refrigeration for 
 Private Residences 
 
 THE DIRT, inconvenience and 
 dangers of the daily ice delivery 
 are no longer necessary. 
 
 The Lareen-Baker ice machinery is 
 now made in sizes which simplify the 
 chilling of refrigerator and cooling room 
 to the turning of an electric switch. 
 
 A machine as necessary the year 
 around as the heating system is in win- 
 ter, and less expensive both to buy and 
 to operate. 
 
 Private residences of the better sort 
 can add no other convenience that will 
 prove bo economical or last so long. 
 
 Perfect preservation of food and ice of 
 known origin are of the utmost import- 
 ance, and owners and architects inter- 
 ested in good homes should get facts on 
 the cost of actual installations of Larsen- 
 Baker machinery by those who have 
 bought and are rising them. 
 
 Write us for this data, covering in- 
 stallations in all parts of the country. 
 
 We believe no good home would be 
 built without artificial refrigeration if 
 the low cost and entire simplicity and 
 dependability of Larsen-Baker Machines 
 were well known.

THE ARCHITECTURAL RECORD. 
 
 The Most Artistic and Permanent 
 Building Material in the World 
 
 For castle or cottage, for house, stable or garden wall, 
 it costs very little more than wood and usually less 
 than concrete (depending somewhat on location) and 
 is far superior and preferable to either. Altogether 
 different in coloring, texture and hardness from ordi- 
 nary face brick. 
 
 For every extra dollar, it adds ten dollars to the 
 value of the building and vastly increases the salabil- 
 ity of the entire property. Home builders or promot- 
 ers of suburban properties are especially urged to in- 
 vestigate the many merits of Tapestry Brick, with its 
 revival of the old Roman and Persian types. There is 
 only one "Tapestry" Brick — the name is stamped on 
 each brick. 
 
 Our valuable book, "Tapestry Brickwork." giving comparative 
 costs of wood, concrete and brick constructions, 48 pages, 8 in colors, 
 describing tbe brick architecture of all ages, full of 1 nterest to archi- 
 tect and home builder, sent on receipt of 20c. (less than the cost to 
 publish). Write for information.describing the work you have in mind.

 The Carrier AirWasherandHumidifier 
 
 The work done by the Carrier Air Washer and 
 Humidifier may be enumerated as follows: 
 
 First — The air is thoroughly washed, removing all solid matter 
 and such gases as are soluble in water. 
 
 Second— In winter, no matter how cold the incoming air, it is 
 tempered and heated to practically a constant temperature. 
 
 Third— The air is humidified and the relative humidity auto- 
 matically controlled by a very accurate and simple method. 
 
 Fourth— The air in summer is cooled from 5 to 19 degrees. 
 This cooling is due to evaporation when using the water over and 
 over again, and will average about 14 degrees during the hottest 
 part of the summer days. 
 
 Our engineer or catalog will call upon request to give any further information 
 
 or advice.

 Make a paper cone and with the large end close to the window stop or on the parting strip ^ 
 
 of any unprotected window, note how much air is delivered from the small end of your cone. j 
 
 Go further and put your anemometer at the small end of the cone and measure the air delivered \ 
 through one lineal foot of window crack. 
 
 With a perceptible wind blowing against the window, you will be surprised to know the / 
 
 great volume of cold air leakage through every lineal foot of unprotected window crack. I 
 
 You will understand why you can cut out 20% of the 
 radiation when you specify the Chamberlin Leakage / 
 Stop System. You will know that we are running no [ 
 risks in guaranteeing that the amount saved on the 
 radiation will pay for the cost of installing the Cham- 
 berlin system. 
 
 You will realize, as so many other archi- 
 tects and engineers have, that Chamberlin 
 weatherstrips weigh more than surplus ra- 
 diators in heating a building.

 If you want an accurate test of the 
 amount of cold wind leakage on any

 will show you exactly how 
 much air you are try- 
 ing to warm, over and

 wish per hour 
 
 For a list of build- 
 ings where the Cham- 
 berlin system of leak- 
 age slop has been 
 used and paid for by 
 safely reducing th e 
 size of the heating 
 plant, write us. The 
 foremost architects and 
 engineers have ac- 
 cepted and are using 
 our radiation reduc- 
 tion figures. 
 
 This is the guarantee of Chamberlin sys- 
 tem of leakage stop without cost 
 
 This company will undertake to apply the Chamberlin system oi window leakage stop to any new 
 building in any part of this country, and will guarantee that it will be possible to reduce the size of the 
 heating plant, as figured for unprotected windows, at least enough so that the money saved on the 
 heating plant will pay the entire cost of the Chamberlin Metal Weather Strip installation for the 
 building. 
 
 An engineering department is maintained at the main office at Detroit, and this department will 
 make figures of the square feet of radiation required where Chamberlin Metal Weather Strips are used, 
 and we will guarantee both the accuracy of our figures as well as that the saving on the heating contract 
 will pay for the Chamberlin installation that makes the radiation saving possible. 
 
 For detailed information in regard to this legal guarantee, for engineering data 
 and formulae for figuring radiation where the Chamberlin system of window leak-

 NONPAREIL CORK PIPE COVERING 
 
 For Brine, Ammonia, Ice Water and Cold Water Lines 
 
 Its Composition — pure, granulated cork, com- 
 pressed and baked in molds of proper shape 
 and size, the outer and inner surface being 
 coateil with mineral rubber. It is of ne- 
 cessity, therefore, light and clean. 
 
 Its Structure — simple, compact and firm, not 
 affected by continual jarring and vibration. 
 
 Its Sectional Form — renders its application 
 easy and rapid. The sections are three feet 
 long, consisting of a single jacket. 
 
 An examination under the microscope would 
 reveal the cellular structure of the cork itself 
 — millions of tiny sealed air spaces imper- 
 vious to air and moisture. This accounts for 
 the covering's low heat conductivity; renders 
 it nonabsorbent of moisture, and insures for 
 it a longer life in service than any other cov- 
 ing on the market.

 HAVE A PLUNGE BATH 
 
 NO fine country place is complete without a modern porcelain- 
 lined plunge in which the household and guests can enjoy one 
 of the really great luxuries of life — a plunge in a clean, clear, 
 and safe pool. 
 Our plunge-bath design and construction (patented) are scientifically 
 correct, so that the water is constantly and automatically kept fresh and 
 the surface kept free of all floating scum or foreign matter. This assures 
 a fresh, clear plunge at all times. 
 
 Send for our new book telling the history of plunge baths from the 
 Roman days to today. Details of construction are shown, as well as views 
 of many of America's finest artificial swimming pools.

 EDISON ported CEMENT 
 
 for all sorts of buildings its absolute merit 
 is readily recognized in the extensive 
 
 $10,000,000 Chelsea Dock Improvements 
 
 half a mile of buildings from Little 12th to 23d Sts., New York, is suffi- 
 cient recommendation to many, while all who investigate must acknowl- 
 edge the convincing force of its worthfulness. 
 
 See the buildings; note the wide range of uses diverging from the 
 standpoints of art and utility due to the use of this cement. 
 
 The possibilities of the Edison Portland Cement lie entirely with 
 the architect employing it. He secures his object of durability; he de- 
 velops his original ideas for embellishment — and all with the same mate- 
 rial. 
 
 Edison Portland Cement will bind more sand, crushed rock or gravel 
 with greater strength than any other brand, because of its grade.

 in Mason City, Iowa: 
 
 "I put on a roof of your tin in this town 
 thirty years ago, and it is a good roof today. 
 
 ■" Some tarred roofs are being put on here 
 because they say they can't get 'Old Style' 
 tin. I say, I CAN — I know you have it."

 "hand-dipped" method, which we alone 
 employ, will outlast any other roof you 
 can put on.

 The illustration shows the glass 
 area of this construction. Besides 
 being- larger in area than any 
 other system, this glass is of a 
 special composition made by 
 Macbeth-Evans Company for us 
 exclusively. This is one reason 
 why the"BRUNER" system ex- 
 cels—the glass does not break out 
 or shale, giving the maximum 
 amount of light, as it is not hol- 
 lowed in the center. There are 
 also many other exclusive advan- 
 tages which are explained clearly 
 in our booklet. The prices are

 The Manifold Uses 
 of Hy-Rib 
 
 Hy-Rib Partition Wall or Siding 
 
 Hy-Rib Roof for American Car & Foundry Co. 
 Berwick, Pa. 
 
 ROOFS Lay the Hy-Rib Sheets 
 over the supports, pour 
 on the concrete and plaster the un- 
 der surface. No centering or false- 
 work is necessary. Use Hy-Rib on 
 either flat or sloping roofs. Build 
 
 Sermanent and fireproof roofs with 
 [y-Rib. Discard leaky, short lived 
 corrugated iron. 
 
 SIDINGS AND WALLS Setthe Hy-Rib Sheets 
 m place; apply the 
 cement plaster, and the wall is complete — no 
 studs are necessary. Use Hy-Rib in place of cor- 
 rugated iron and wood sheathing for Factories, 
 Foundries. Car Barns, etc. Also for stucco work 
 and residences. 
 
 FLOORS A self centering reinforcement for 
 concrete floor slabs ; no falsework 
 necessary. For arched floors our shops provide 
 Hy-Rib bent to exact curve— doing away with the 
 expensive field bending and centering. 
 
 PARTITIONS The most economical construc- 
 tion for solid plastered parti- 
 tions. Merely set up the Hy-Rib Sheets— apply 
 the plaster— the partition is complete. Does 
 away with the expense of wiring lath to studs, 
 and makes a stronger wall. 
 
 CEILINGS The best reinforcement for ceilings 
 
 —does away entirely with the small 
 
 channels and T's ordinarily necessary. Saves the 
 
 oxpensive field labor of wiring lath to channels. 
 
 FURRING No furring strips or studs of any 
 kind are necessary where Hy-Bib 
 is used. The air space between the ribs stops 
 the conduction of heat, cold and moisture.

 Fire-Resisting Residences. 
 
 At the present time the problem of building is 
 a very grave one after one gets outside the suit- 
 able range of ordinary steel construction such as 
 is employed in large city buildings. For all small 
 structures there has been until recently the same 
 old choice that has been available for 5,000 years : 
 wood, brick and stone, alone or in suitable com- 
 bination. The more slightly civilized people have 
 generally used wood as nearest to the hand and 
 easiest to work, and those of larger experience 
 and powers have gone on to brick and stone. Here 
 in America our civilization is still too crude and 
 the country is too new to have gotten fairly be- 
 yond the timber stage. We are not so many gen- 
 erations yet past the log cabin, in spite of the fact 
 that our material progress has taken on the out- 
 ward form of orderliness and even complexity. 
 This, however, seems really to be only skin deep 
 when one judges it not as a Chauvinist, but as a 
 man of affairs. ' It is not a civilization of great 
 stability and depth that looks coolly at the cas- 
 ualty list of nearly a hundred thousand killed and 
 wounded annually on the railroads and contempt- 
 uously figures the probable cost of safety appli- 
 ances per victim. The same superficial quality 
 still appears in our building. It Would be hard 
 to imagine a country better capable in skill and 
 resources of fine permanent architecture, and it 
 would be quite impossible to find one in which 
 fine permanent architecture has been until quite 
 recently a smaller proportion of the whole. 
 
 As a nation we build for to-morrow or next 
 week and lay bets at rather small odds with the 
 insurance companies that our structures will burn 
 before they rot or tumble down. A large pro- 
 portion of the buildings erected in some parts of 
 this country are apparently of the flimsiest timber 
 construction compatible with their holding to- 
 gether until they are sold, and in consequence the 
 losses annually by fire rise to an amount that is 
 simply appalling. Insurance with all its benefit 
 to the individual in case of disaster cannot make 
 up to the community as a whole the losses thus 
 incurred. Somehow, in the long run, the losses

 ROOFING QUALITY 
 
 Atlas Roofing Co.'s Plan a Relief to Architects and 
 
 Owners. A Good Building Soon Becomes 
 
 Worthless Without a Good Roof 
 
 Money cannot be better invested than by judi- 
 ciously placing it in ROOFING QUALITY. 
 
 No part of the art and science of building 
 is more diversified and complicated than the 
 roofing, and no part requires closer attention 
 or greater skill. 
 
 OUR PLAN 
 
 We have made a close study of roofing 
 (metal, tile and slate) and of sheet metal 
 work of all kinds. Knowing from practical 
 experience the value of good work, we make 
 it a strict rule to furnish the best quality of 
 work and nothing else. 
 
 Relief for Architects, Contractors and Owners 
 
 This plan means that those who favor us 
 with their contracts need not bother with the 
 practical details, for our specially trained ex- 
 perts will give the work better attention than 
 could be given by any person who has not had 
 the good fortune to be favored with exception- 
 ally fine opportunities to acquire a thorough, 
 practical knowledge of the business.

 The Vacuum Cleaning System That Actually Eliminates Dirt 
 
 The system that not only insures the absolute 
 extraction of dirt and dust, but insures its sanitary 
 and economical removal after it is extracted. 
 
 The vacuum producing machine of the 
 ROTREX SYSTEM develops such: 
 powerful suction as to absolutely draw 
 out with searching- thoroughness all dust 
 and dirt, however deep seated it may be. 
 For the ROTREX displaces a larger' 
 volume of air for a given horse power 
 than any other machine on the market. 
 
 Unlike any other Vacuum Cleaning 
 System, the ROTREX SYSTEM of 
 Vacuum Cleaning automatically con- 
 veys the dust and dirt direct to the 
 sewer without any handling on the part of 
 the attendant operating the machine. In 
 
 other words, the dust and dirt, after being removed by suction, do not again become exposed to the atmosphere 
 
 either inside or outside the building. 
 
 Consider These Points of 
 Superiority 
 
 1. No slidinc blades in pumps. 
 
 2. No rubbing parts. 
 
 3. Eighty per cent, efficiency. 
 
 4. Less wearing parts. 
 
 5. Discharges the dirt direct to the sewer. 
 
 6. No separating tanks. 
 
 7. Requires less floor space. 
 
 8. No unsanitary emptying" of tanks.

 BOILERS 
 
 Brands them as beingthe best 
 heating boilers made for all 
 installations from 500 sq. ft. 
 to 12,500 sq. ft. of radiation. 
 
 Those who know about 
 these things can see at a glance 
 that K&WANE£ boilers must be 
 quick and economical heat- 
 ers. It is the particular design 
 that makes them so. 
 
 The construction of them 
 makes them most durable and 
 safe. One of the features in 
 construction is the base ring 
 and door ring. Theyaremade 
 of semi-steel, not cast iron. 
 They are tough and will not 
 crack. 
 
 K&WANEE boilers will last for 
 years. Nothing- about them to give 
 out. They cost less than other 
 boilers, figuring according to our 
 ratings, and above all, they will 
 positively do what they are rated 
 to do, and do it all the time.

 SPECIAL LIMITED OFFER TO ARCHITECTURAL RECORD 
 READERS OF 100 LATEST 
 
 Model 8 American Typewriters 
 
 This special offer gives you a high-grade Typewriter at $35, the lowest price at which a standard 
 machine has ever been sold, and on easy terms. The American will do the work of the $100 machines 
 at high speed, and is covered with the same guarantee. It is their equal because it has every essential 
 feature; 1200 cumbersome, troublesome and easily broken parts of other machines have been eliminated. 
 Its simplicity of construction, the absence of the thousand and one little levers, bars, screws and springs 
 which make the cost of $100 machines accounts for this unequaled offer. The absence of all these com- 
 plicated parts makes the American tip the scales at 12 pounds. It's the only high grade machine that is 
 really portable. The fundamental point of American superiority is the single type-bar-one piece of steel- 
 non-bendable and unbreakable by any stroke that can be delivered on the key, and this is the cause of 
 its simplicity, durability, efficiency and compactness.

 Clow Adamantose Lavatories 
 Epitomize the Potters 9 Skill 
 
 Clow Adamantose Lavatories embody in their material and make all the durable and 
 artistic qualities heretofore obtainable only in two or more varieties. 
 
 The successful use of Adamantose Ware in the manufacture of lavatories marks an 
 epoch in the history of sanitation. 
 
 We are the sole manufacturers of Adamantose Ware. 
 
 The Adamantose Lavatory has the strength of iron, the artistic quality of porcelain, 
 and greater sanitary elements than either porcelain or iron, as it positively will 
 not craze, and is absolutely non-absorbent and unstainable — three features not possessed by 
 any other lavatory. 
 
 The "Olympian" AdamatUuse Lavatory, L-T10 
 
 Adamantose Ware is absolutely guaranteed. For your protection it bears our name and

 Never-Split" Closet Seat 
 
 NOTHING can effectually take the place of it in the mind of the Architect 
 wha has comprehended the importance to himself and client of specifying 
 exactly that a "Never-Split" Seat of particular design or finish shall be 
 installed with 
 every closet com- 
 bination. 
 
 The Price does 
 not make any dif- 
 ference in any 
 case, being no 
 higher than the 
 better grades of 
 other seats, but it 
 is maintained to 
 all alike, so that 
 there can be no 
 favors shown in 
 competitive bids 
 of plumbers and 
 jobbers. The 
 plumber and job- 
 ber will, as a rule, 
 install a "Never- 
 Split" Closet Seat 
 voluntarily when 
 he knows that the 
 owner requires 
 absolutelythebest 
 there is on the 
 market as to fin- 
 ish, quality of 
 wood and ever- 
 lastingness. 
 
 "Never -Split" 
 
 Closet Seats are the highest embodiment— all the style, beauty, sanitary perfec- 
 tion and lasting qualities that can be put into an article of honest manufacture.

 THE new Rambler is for the particular 
 motorist who admires dignified 
 comfort in every appointment without 
 extravagance in cost. Its distinction as 
 a car of quality is due to the selection, 
 indifferent to cost, of the materials used, 
 and the finished skill applied in the mak- 
 ing. Coupled with this is an efficiency 
 assured only by such features as the Offset 
 crank-shaft, Straight-line drive, Spare 
 Whee', and the new expanding clutch.

 DOES THE

 DAYLIGHT? 
 
 Getting daylight into every part ot a building, 
 even into the darkest part of the interior or the 
 basement, is a simple matter if the 
 
 Jux-fer 
 
 SYSTEM 
 
 is employed. Using real daylight certainly is 
 more satisfactory than paving gas and electric 
 light bills.
