TODD SCOTT, THE ALLIANCE REVIEW EDITORIAL COMMITTEE This issue covers a variety of topics, as we had planned to make this the FORUM preview issue for our biennial conference in Tacoma in July. As of this writing, NAPC is continuing to monitor the COVID-19 pandemic and will be making an announcement very soon about the upcoming conference. Since we were focused on Tacoma for this issue, we’re highlighting a couple of items specific to that city, one on the heavy use of wood in the built environment in the Pacific Northwest, and one on the inherent problems of building with masonry in that seismically active region. We’re exploring the restoration of wall signage and murals on both coasts – Mooresville, North Carolina and Los Angeles – and getting an update on the impacts of recent tornados on Nashville’s historic districts. Jacqueline Drayer takes a look at the dilemma associated with buildings that can’t be saved and whether we should salvage their architectural elements while Betsy Bradley makes a case for better community outreach. And our regular features include online tools for modernists, a spotlight on The Cultural Landscape Foundation, and a volunteer profile from South Carolina. On a more somber note, in this issue we also pay tribute to George Bernard (Bernie) Callan, Jr., NAPC’s founder and first Board Chair. Bernie passed away in February after devoting more than half of his 88 years to historic preservation and volunteer service on countless boards and commissions. We owe Bernie a debt of gratitude for his efforts to establish NAPC in the early 1980s and are working to find ways to honor his legacy.

Bernie was a lifelong resident of Frederick, Maryland and devoted more than half of his life to historic preservation as an active and commit- ted volunteer. He was a leader in numerous organizations in his home state up until his death, including the Frederick County Historic Preservation Commission, Frederick County Landmarks Foundation, Maryland Association of Historic District Commissions, and the Maryland Historical Trust Board of Trustees.

  • Ethnicity and Faith in American Judaism: Reconstructionism As Ideology and Institution, 1935-1959
    ETHNICITY AND FAITH IN AMERICAN JUDAISM: RECONSTRUCTIONISM AS IDEOLOGY AND INSTITUTION, 1935-1959 A Dissertation Submitted to the Temple University Graduate Board In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY By Deborah Waxman May, 2010 Examining Committee Members: Lila Corwin Berman, Advisory Chair, History David Harrington Watt, History Rebecca Trachtenberg Alpert, Religion Deborah Dash Moore, External Member, University of Michigan ii ABSTRACT Title: Ethnicity and Faith in American Judaism: Reconstructionism as Ideology and Institution, 1935-1959 Candidate's Name: Deborah Waxman Degree: Doctor of Philosophy Temple University, 2010 Doctoral Advisory Committee Chair: Lila Corwin Berman This dissertation addresses the development of the movement of Reconstructionist Judaism in the period between 1935 and 1959 through an examination of ideological writings and institution-building efforts. It focuses on Reconstructionist rhetorical strategies, their efforts to establish a liberal basis of religious authority, and theories of cultural production. It argues that Reconstructionist ideologues helped to create a concept of ethnicity for Jews and non-Jews alike that was distinct both from earlier ―racial‖ constructions or strictly religious understandings of modern Jewish identity. iii DEDICATION To Christina, who loves being Jewish, With gratitude and abundant love iv ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This dissertation is the product of ten years of doctoral studies, so I type these words of grateful acknowledgment with a combination of astonishment and excitement that I have reached this point. I have been inspired by extraordinary teachers throughout my studies. As an undergraduate at Columbia, Randall Balmer introduced me to the study of American religious history and Holland Hendrix encouraged me to take seriously the prospect of graduate studies.

  • A New Age for Artists
    A NEW AGE FOR ARTISTS: THE BIRTH OF THE NEW DEAL ART MOVEMENT AND THE POLITICAL CONNOTATIONS OF THE COlT TOWER MURALS Timothy Rottenberg Prior to 1934, public art did not exist in the United States ofAmerica. Occasionally, paintings by individual artists would achieve success and break out of the art gallery and private commission sphere into the public eye, but visibility was not widespread. With the construction of Coit Tower in San Francisco, the creation of the Public Works of Art Project (PWAP) in ‘934, and the unemployment of artists due to the Great Depression, a unique synchronistic moment came about when the birth of public art in America was forged. For the first time in American history, the PWAP gave artists the opportunity to reflect local and national politics through their own political lens using a medium that was meant for mass consumption by the public.i In January of there was nothing exciting about the San Fran cisco skyline. The city’s two tallest buildings stood at a stout 435 feet, and lay inconspicuously in the valley of the financial district, dwarfed even by the seven natural hills of San Francisco that surrounded them. With the Golden Gate and Bay bridges only in the earliest stages of construction, San Francisco lacked architectural individuality. Appropriately, Lillie Hitchcock Coit, a wealthy and eccentric San Francisco resident, desired beautification for the city she so admired. Despite having been born in Maryland and living in France for a number of years, the allure of the I believe this thesis to be wholly original in the field of historical study on the Public Works Administration as it related to the field of public art in America.
