The work of preeminent and pioneering American planner and garden-city practitioner John Nolen and his associate Philip Foster, the village is the most complete, comprehensive, and intact example of Nolen's community designs. Stemming from the financial support and like-minded vision of Cincinnati philanthropist Mary Emery and her advisor Charles Livingood, the community also represents one of the nation's most notable philanthropic efforts to relieve the housing shortage after World War I and to provide a model for reforming the character of American housing and neighborhoods for working-class families. Emery and Livingood envisioned a well-balanced community that offered a variety of attractive, modestly priced rental units; a wide range of well-constructed, architect-designed single family homes; and neighborhood amenities such as streetcar transportation to downtown Cincinnati, parks for recreation and inspiration, schools, a church, tree-lined roads and avenues, and a range of recreational facilities. Originally promoted as a "national exemplar" of domestic design, the village exhibits a variety of twentieth century housing types—groups of attached houses, apartment buildings, duplexes, and detached homes— primarily in the Tudor Revival and Colonial Revival styles. The earliest housing groups built in the 1920s are the work of American architects whom Livingood carefully selected with Nolen's recommendations. Among these architects were nationally recognized architects from New York, Boston, and Philadelphia, whose reputations in domestic design were well established, including Grosvenor Atterbury, Richard B. Dana, Edmund B. Gilchrist, Lois L. Howe, Louis E. Jallade, Eleanor Manning, and Carl A. Ziegler. It was also the proving ground for a number of Cincinnati architects, especially Charles A. Cellarius, whose designs and role as Mariemont's Resident Architect gained him national recognition and an invitation to serve on the Committee for House Design at the 1931 President's Conference on Home Building and Home Ownership, a landmark event in the history of America's suburbanization. Viewed as a whole, Mariemont's dwellings provide a revealing index of domestic design as practiced in the United States between 1920 and 1960 and an indicator of the changing methods and materials of construction and garden design that marked the evolution of suburban housing in the twentieth century. The Village of Mariemont possesses an unusually high degree of historic integrity. This is evident in the nearly complete and intact character of the community plans designed by John Nolen in the 1920s and executed under the leadership of Mary Emery, Charles Livingood, and the Mariemont Company. It is also evident in the pervasive park-like ambience, the streets lined with mature trees, home plantings of shrubbery and shade trees, and ingenious layout of streets that integrate the radial geometry of formal planning and the informality of naturalistic curvilinear streets. And finally it is evident in the siting, setting, architectural character, and relatively unaltered condition of detached, semi-detached and apartment houses as well as commercial

  • 208-10 REX AVE Name of Resource: William L
    ADDRESS: 208-10 REX AVE Name of Resource: William L. Hirst-H. Louis Duhring Residence Proposed Action: Designation Property Owner: Virginia, William, and Hewson Baltzell Nominator: Chestnut Hill Conservancy Staff Contact: Laura DiPasquale, laura.dipasquale@phila.gov OVERVIEW: This nomination proposes to designate the property at 208-10 Rex Avenue in Chestnut Hill and list it on the Philadelphia Register of Historic Places. The nomination argues that the house, constructed about 1857-60, with alterations around 1893 and a substantial rear addition in 1927, satisfies Criteria for Designation A, C, and E. Under Criterion A, the nomination contends that the property has significant character as one of the early prominent suburban villas constructed in the first period of the development of the suburban character of the Chestnut Hill section of the city after the extension of the first railroad to the area. The nomination also argues that the building is significant under Criterion A for its association with architect H. Louis Duhring, who owned and lived in the house between 1919 and 1946, and under Criterion E as a representative example of Duhring’s influential architectural work. The nomination also contends that the property is significant under Criterion C as reflecting the environment of both the period of its original Italianate construction and its Arts and Crafts addition. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: The staff recommends that the nomination demonstrates that the property at 208-10 Rex Avenue satisfies Criteria for Designation A, C, and E.

    CHAPTER 7 Prehistoric ·Art of the Central Coast of British Columbia ROY L. CARLSON glance at any Northwest Coast art book attests firmly to the existence of a highly developed tradi­ A tion of painting and carving wood during the nineteenth century by the ancestors of the Bella Bella and Bella Coola peoples of the central coast of British Columbia. Similarly, examination of the journals of Sir Alexander Mackenzie and George Vancouver carries this tradition backward into the last decades of the eighteenth century. The reading of Mcllwraith's, The Bella Coo/a Indians (1948), or Boas', Mythology of the Bella Coo/a (1900b) and Bella Bella Tales (1932), provides some insights into the meaning of this art in the cultures which produced it. But what of the decades, centuries and millenia which preceded both the early explorers and the later ethnographers? What art was produced Fig. 7:1. Whalebone pendant resembling a rockfish from then? What techniques were employed and what styles the site of Namu dating to about 3,500 years ago. were produced? What was the meaning of this art and what were its historical relationships?

    PRELIMINARY RESULTS OF A REPLICATNE STUDY: METATE RE-ROUGHENING, PECKING, OR POUNDING? Dawn M. Reid and Mari A.

The intent of the replication was to ascertain ifdiffering results were achieved when various percussor types were used to re-roughen a metate-like surface. Hammerstones prepared by flaking and unmodified cobbles were utilized. The results obtained in the replication were then compared with archaeological specimens in an attempt to determine more information as to the manufacturing and use behaviors associated with milling equipment.

  • Glaciation (Oakley, 1950). Variations in the Proposed Beginning Dates
    EVOLUTION OF THE HUMAN HAND AMD THE GREAT HAND-AXE TRADITION Grover S. Krantz The hand-axe is both the earliest and the longest persisting of standar- dized stone tools. They present a continuous history of one tool type from the first to the third interglacial periods, a span.of at least 200,000 years and perhaps as many as half a million. Equally remarkable is their geographical range which covers all of Africa, western Europe and southern Asia--fully half of-the then habitable Old Vorld. Aside from differences in the local stone that was utilized, hand-axes from this whole area are constructed on the same plan and show no clear regional typology. Other tool types occur with hand-axes: utilized flakes are found at all levels, and in the later half of the sequence there-are cleavers, ovates, trimmed flakes and spherical stone balls. Throughout the sequence, however, the basic design of the hand-axe continues with its intended formnapparently unchanged. We thus have a continuous record of man's attempts to produce a single type of 'implement over mst of his tool making history. (See Figure 1.) Recent discoveries of fossil man have made it increasingly evident that biological evolution of the human body was also in progress coincident with the development of ancient stone tool types. 'While the exact time of appearance of Homo siens is still in some dispute (see Stewart, 1950 and Oakley., 1957), it is no nowseriously maintained that the earliest tool makers necessarily approximated the modern or even the neanderthal morphologies.

  • Against All Odds MIT's Pioneering Women of Landscape Architecture
    Against all Odds MIT’s Pioneering Women of Landscape Architecture * Eran Ben-Joseph, Holly D. Ben-Joseph, Anne C. Dodge1 Massachusetts Institute of Technology, School of Architecture and Planning, City Design and Development Group 77 Massachusetts Ave. 10-485 Cambridge, MA 02139 1 November 2006 * Recipient of the 6th Milka Bliznakov Prize Commendation: International Archive of Women in Architecture (IAWA) This research is aimed at exposing the influential, yet little known and short-lived landscape architecture program at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) between 1900 and 1909. Not only was it one of only two professional landscape architecture education programs in the United States at the time (the other one at Harvard also started at 1900), but the first and only one to admit both women and men. Women students were attracted to the MIT option because it provided excellent opportunities, which they were denied elsewhere. Harvard, for example did not admit women until 1942 and all-women institutions such as the Cambridge School or the Cornell program were established after the MIT program was terminated. Unlike the other schools of that time, the MIT program did not keep women from the well-known academic leaders and male designers of the time nor from their male counterparts. At MIT, women had the opportunity to study directly with Beaux-Art design pioneers such as Charles S. Sargent, Guy Lowell, Désiré Despradelle, and the revered department head Francis Ward Chandler. Historical accounts acknowledged that a woman could “put herself through a stiff course” at MIT including advance science and structural engineering instruction.
