Washington, AR Name of Property County and State Narrative! Description FrentWortheast Faqade The front of the Adrian Fletcher Residence can be seen from East HunWiIIe Road. The house appears, from this side, to be made up of two distinct sections separated by a breezeway and chimney in the middle. The part of the house to the right of the chimneyyand about 113 of the total width of the faqade is the house's carport. To 'the left of the chimney are the main living areas of the bouse. The front fagade of the living area of the house is dominated by a screened-in projection. The projection sits on top of native stone covering a concrete foundation. 'She stone suns the Ien-gth of the faqade, projecting past the house as a retaining wall on the left side of fithe fapde. Centered under the screened projection is a short, vertical wood door. Nso, visible though the screened projection are the doors and windows that enter into the house. From right to left, these are a large stationary window, a set of double doors, two large stationary windows, a second set of doubIe doors, and finally a large stationary window. Visible on this faqade are a few key house details. One of these details is a pair of brackets on either side of the screened in projection extending parallel to the house eaves. The brackets are made of wood, with three-part msthuction. The lower half has two bracket pieces, while the top has one. Together, this gives the appearance that the bracket could be folded up like a pocket knife, with the upper portion of the bracket collapsing into the Iower portion. SidelSoutheast Facade This fapde is Eargely devoid of detaik. There are no window or door openings on this side of the house. On the ight side of this fapde is the screened-in sumom projection which shows the depth of the projection. The rest of the faqade is dominated by a stone exterior wall. There is one small decoration in the wdl. Where the southeast faqade wall meets the apex of the shallow- pitch& gable roof there is a four-sided opening in the wall shaped like a downward-pointing arrow, filled with a wood window. This particular design carries through the central bathroom mein the home. There are also projecting roof supports on this fagade with two on either side of the gable. They are all wood topped with metal. There is also a large decorative bracket visible at the htof the screened projection on this faqade. Finally, there is a wood screen built to the left of the stone wall for privacy. ReartSouthwest Facade The rear of the living section of the Adrian Fletcher Home can be broken down into three sections. These sections are totally symmetrical. The first section on the right is made up largely of glass. There is one large, wood stationary window, and a set of double doors with full glass in this section. This area allows access to the rear of the house fiom inside. To the right of the stationary window, is a smaI1 wood seating area that is the same size as the wood screen visible on the previous fnpde. The next section is dominated by a stone wall that extends born the rear patio up to the eaves. The wall is constructed of native stone, and provides for storage space behind the kitchen inside. The wall separating the stone wall horn the deeper-set wood doors is covered with vertical wood boards. The third section is also mastIy glass and directly mirrors the first section. There is a double set of doors providing access to the rear patio and one large gIass Full-length wood window.

The chimney of the Adrian Fletcher Residence is square, but rotated forty-five degrees. The first details visible on this fa~adeare an entrance door and a multi-pane sidelite next to it. These features are found just off the center of the house to the right, positiond beside the stone chimney. To the right of the door and connecting to the corner is a wall covered with vertical wood siding. Tbe door is made of solid wood, and has a screen door on the outside. To the left of the door is a nine-pane sidelite that is anchored into the chimney. The chimney has two angled portions on this wall, meeting to form a "V." The chimneyIas many aspects of the home, is built from native stone. To the left of the chimney is a small portion of vertical wood-covered wall, followed by the front screened projection.

    ESSAYS ON MODERN ARCHITECTURE For the National Historic Landmark Program Introduction Chronology Essays 1. The Skyscraper 2. The Modern House 3. Modern Religious Architecture 4. The Modern College Campus and Modern Buildings on Campus 5. Modern Art Museums Architect Lists Sarah Allaback, Ph.D. Amherst, Massachusetts April 2, 2003 INTRODUCTION The following essays and lists of architects are intended to further the study of modern buildings that may qualify as National Historic Landmarks. The buildings are organized by type and evaluated in terms of architectural significance. American architects began to experiment with styles beyond the traditional neoclassical in the early nineteenth century. Styles were chosen for their historical associations and the buildings were considered architecturally pure versions of the past. By the end of the century, architects felt free to combine styles in an “eclectic” manner, without such concern for stylistic origins. New technologies and building materials encouraged this emerging experimentation. If this was all modern, however, it was certainly not “modernism.” When European modernism arrived in the United States in the 1920s no one could mistake it for anything that went before. Historians quickly labeled this early phase of modern architecture the International Style. It was short-lived. The white, geometric forms were too bleak for Americans, especially since they came without the social meaning of their European counterparts. The International Style was imported to the United States, but its early development was not without American influence. As European architects began experimenting in wild new forms of architecture, materials and forms, they studied the designs of Frank Lloyd Wright, whose work had been published in portfolios by 1910.

    AGE LIMITS: RE-EVALUATING THE FIFTY-YEAR RULE by ANNE R. CROTTY (Under the Direction of John C. Waters) ABSTRACT The ‘fifty-year rule’ is preservation parlance for the axiom that a building must be fifty years old in order to be considered ‘historic.’ This axiom is derived from the National Register of Historic Places criteria and considerations. Little critical thought has been given to how a rule affects concepts of historic significance and the designation of historic resources. This work looks at the origins of the fifty-year rule, its role in preservation practice, and whether the rule warrant re-evaluation. From there, the fifty-year rule is evaluated and alternatives to the rule are explored. Recommendations are based on an analysis of the fifty-year rule and its impact on historic preservation practice.
