    AIA Committee on Design Conference, Columbus, Indiana April 12-15, 2012: “Defining Architectural Design Excellence”

    AIA Committee on Design conference, Columbus, Indiana April 12-15, 2012: “Defining Architectural Design Excellence” Last year Columbus, Indiana was rediscovered in the national media with the public opening of the Miller House and Gardens. An exquisite design collaboration of Eero Saarinen, Alexander Girard and Dan Kiley, completed in 1957, the landmark has been declared “America’s most significant modernist house”. While the house is now owned by the Indianapolis Museum of Art (IMA) and public tours are available through the Columbus Visitors Center, the tours are often sold out, limited in numbers and access. The IMA is providing the AIA-COD the opportunity to visit the house and gardens as an “open house”, with guides distributed throughout to provide information, and is allowing us personal photography. If you have visited Columbus in the past, you are aware of its recognition for its many modern buildings designed by nationally and internationally recognized architects, including Eliel Saarinen, Eero Saarinen, Harry Weese, Robert Venturi, I.M. Pei, Gunnar Birkerts, Kevin Roche, and Richard Meier. Columbus has been called the “mecca of modern architecture” and “the Athens of the Prairie”. In 2000, in a highly unusual move, six modern architecture and landscape architecture sites were designated as National Historic Landmarks; including First Christian Church (Eliel Saarinen), Irwin Union Bank (Eero Saarinen), Miller House and Gardens, North Christian Church (Eero Saarinen), Mabel McDowell Elementary School (John Carl Warnecke), and First Baptist Church (Harry Weese). The AIA COD conference will visit each of these locations. The commitment to design excellence has continued in Columbus the last 10 years, in fact thriving to have had the most construction per capita through the Great Recession.

  • William Conner

    William Conner

    The Life Of William Conner Timothy Crumrin William Conner lived his life in two different worlds. He lived and dressed both as a white settler and as a Native American. Because he lived as both a White man and an American Indian, William Conner understood the two different ways of life and how they affected each other. William was born near Lichtenau, Ohio in 1777, to parents Richard and Margaret Conner. His father was a trader and tavern keeper. They lived with Moravians in Schoenbrunn, Ohio. Moravians were missionaries among the Delaware Indians. The Conners traveled William Conner with them to Michigan where William grew up. Then the Moravians and Delaware decided to return to Ohio. Richard Conner and his family stayed in Michigan. He established a trading post and helped others settle in the area. By 1795, at only eighteen years old, William was trading with the Native Americans in Michigan. In the winter of 1800-1801, William and his brother John came to Indiana to become fur traders. SETTLING IN Both men settled among the Delaware and married Delaware women. According to legend, William's wife, Mekinges, was the daughter of Chief Anderson, but no one can be certain. Traders often found it helpful to marry into the tribes they traded with. For Conner, it gave him more power and control over the tribe’s actions. It also meant that the other Delawares trusted him more. Like Conner, traders often became the link between Indians and the white world. William Conner built a log home and a trading post.

    Modernism in Bartholomew County, Indiana, from 1942

    NPS Form 10-900 USDI/NPS NRHP Registration Form (Rev. 8-86) OMB No. 1024-0018 MODERNISM IN BARTHOLOMEW COUNTY, INDIANA, FROM 1942 Page 1 United States Department of the Interior, National Park Service National Register of Historic Places Registration Form E. STATEMENT OF HISTORIC CONTEXTS INTRODUCTION This National Historic Landmark Theme Study, entitled “Modernism in Architecture, Landscape Architecture, Design and Art in Bartholomew County, Indiana from 1942,” is a revision of an earlier study, “Modernism in Architecture, Landscape Architecture, Design and Art in Bartholomew County, Indiana, 1942-1999.” The initial documentation was completed in 1999 and endorsed by the Landmarks Committee at its April 2000 meeting. It led to the designation of six Bartholomew County buildings as National Historic Landmarks in 2000 and 2001 First Christian Church (Eliel Saarinen, 1942; NHL, 2001), the Irwin Union Bank and Trust (Eero Saarinen, 1954; NHL, 2000), the Miller House (Eero Saarinen, 1955; NHL, 2000), the Mabel McDowell School (John Carl Warnecke, 1960; NHL, 2001), North Christian Church (Eero Saarinen, 1964; NHL, 2000) and First Baptist Church (Harry Weese, 1965; NHL, 2000). No fewer than ninety-five other built works of architecture or landscape architecture by major American architects in Columbus and greater Bartholomew County were included in the study, plus many renovations and an extensive number of unbuilt projects. In 2007, a request to lengthen the period of significance for the theme study as it specifically relates to the registration requirements for properties, from 1965 to 1973, was accepted by the NHL program and the original study was revised to define a more natural cut-off date with regard to both Modern design trends and the pace of Bartholomew County’s cycles of new construction.

He attended Paterson schools and graduated from Montclair State College in 1974 with a bachelor’s degree in history, with a Social Studies certification for K–12. After three years of teaching history at Paterson Catholic Regional High School, Mr. Herbst decided to change professions, accepting a curator position at the Paterson Museum. In 1979, he took the position of director of education at the New Jersey Historical Society before becoming the executive director (and the only paid staff member at the time) of the American Labor Museum in Haledon, New Jersey, in 1983.
