We guarantee that Firefight is a strictly pure linseed oil paint, the pigment being ground in and thinned with pure linseed oil and the drier used being of the best quality procurable. We guarantee that buildings and woodwork protected by Firefight will be rendered fireproof to a degree not obtainable by the use of any other paint. Firefight Paint Company PITTSBURGH, PENN'A.

Harlow SALES AGENTS Architects PITTSBURGH PITTSBURGH THE BUILDER It is a common occurrence to have awarded to 'us contracts for fireproofing buildings originally designed for other systems. If all architects and engineers were as familiar with the adaptability of TERRA COTTA HOLLOW TILE as is our own engineering department, it is probable that these buildings would be ORIGINALLY designed for construction with our material, and under our methods. Many designers of buildings being familiar with the use of Terra Cotta Hollow Tile under certain conditions only, are unaware of the possibilities of it for all kinds of construction, and therefore ignore the opportunity for its use in the particular buildings they may have in hand. When the information regarding our materials is placed before them as applied to their specific case, they are usually surprised to find that we can give a better fireproof construction than they had planned, at a cost as low, or lower, than they had figured for other systems. It is upon this basis that we solicit the opportunity to confer with the engineer or architect of a building BEFORE the final plans for fireproofing are made. Let us know what kind of a fireproof building YOU are contemplating, and you will find our vast fund of information, our experience and our organiza­ tion, of incalculable help, not only in the designing of your building, but in the securing of the best type of fireproof construction at a reasonable cost.

  • Not Your Usual Cleveland Tour
    NOT YOUR USUAL CLEVELAND TOUR This self-guided tour is designed to get you to see our city’s history from a different perspective. While some of the sights in the tour are fairly familiar, many are not -- nor, for that matter, is much of the route. It will take you from the East Side to the West Side and will dip into the Flats -- and all along the way you’ll encounter interesting and, indeed, critical aspects of our city’s history. While the tour highlights certain locations along the route, take the time to look closely (and safely if you are driving) at the neighborhoods, businesses, and buildings that you will see along the way. There are also multiple links embedded in the tour directions that will take you to websites that provide a deeper background of some of the places you will see. Take the time to read them before, during, or after the tour. They, in turn, will lead you to other articles and essays that relate to the city’s history. The tour is based on one which the Western Reserve Historical Society usually offers to raffle winners at various events. However, in those instances, you get to experience the route in a chauffeured vintage car from the Crawford Collection and with commentary from our Historian, Dr. John Grabowski. But, absent the vintage car, your journey will be just as rewarding as you drive your way through Cleveland’s past and present. Bon voyage! 1 Start your tour by driving to the Euclid Avenue entrance of Lake View Cemetery.

  • Cleveland Architects Database
    Clevland Landmarks Commission Cleveland Architects Database The following is a listing of architects and master builders that have worked in Cleveland, from the 1820’s until the 1930’s. Discovering which architects designed certain buildings was determined by utilizing several sources, including the City of Cleveland Building Permits, and publications that included American Architect and Builder News, Inland Architect, Interstate Architect, the Ohio Architect and Builder, the Annals of Cleveland, the Plain Dealer, the Leader, the Press, Material Facts, the Bystander, and Cleveland Town Topics. The Cleveland Public Library card index for Architect’s in the Fine Arts Department was used. Books on Cleveland Architecture that were consulted included Cleveland Architecture 1876 – 1976, and the American Institute of Architects Guide to Cleveland Architecture were consulted. A catalogue of architectural drawings maintained by the Western Reserve Historical Society was consulted. The Cleveland Necrology file maintained by the Cleveland Public Library, the United States Census, and Cleveland City Directories were consulted in compiling this database. For the purposes of this database an architect was defined as anyone that called himself or herself as an architect. Robert Keiser compiled the Cleveland Architects as a hobby in after work hours over several years. This project terminates with 1930. Local building activity was severely curtailed by the Great Depression, and did not recover until the 1950’s. Many of the references in the database have

  • Report July 10, 2012
    The Commission for Historical and Architectural Preservation Public Interior Landmark Designation Staff Report July 10, 2012 St. Mark’s Evangelical Lutheran Church 1920 Saint Paul Street Baltimore, Maryland Summary While several churches and residences in Baltimore have Tiffany stained-glass windows, St. Mark’s Evangelical Lutheran Church is the only building with a Tiffany interior. Louis Comfort Tiffany was one of America’s most famous interior designers and artists of the late 19th - early 20th century. Today, he is best known for his stained-glass. Built in 1898, St. Mark’s is one of only a few intact Tiffany-designed interiors left in the world. The Tiffany Glass and Decorating Company designed and produced the ornately decorated walls, mosaics, stained-glass windows, and lamps in the church. Property History St. Mark’s Evangelical English Lutheran Church was founded in 1860, and was originally located on Eutaw Street between Saratoga and Mulberry Streets until 1898, when this Italian Romanesque church at the corner of St. Paul and 20th Streets was constructed. The church was designed by seminal Baltimore architect Joseph Evans Sperry. St Mark’s Evangelical Lutheran Church is a Baltimore City Landmark and contributes to the Old Goucher College National Register Historic District. The Byzantine interior of St. Mark’s was decorated by the Tiffany Glass and Decorating Company of New York City under the direction of René T. de Quelin, head designer and manager of the decorating department. The work was supervised by F.W. Kouzelmann.1 The company was led by Louis Comfort Tiffany, one of the premier artists and designers in America in the late 19th - early 20th century.

Photo by Alicia Osborne, courtesy of The Wright Group 4 ~ Facade 101 Facade 101 ~ 5 Preservation Spotlight MILLPOND PLANTATION: THE CLEVELAND CONNECTION By Kathleen Crowther At the turn of the last century, many of Cleveland’s wealthy families went south during the winter to Thomasville, Georgia. Thomasville was a resort community with luxury hotels that catered to northern families wishing to escape the cold. Hailed for its mild climate and therapeutic pine-infused fresh air, Thomasville was a direct connection from Cleveland on the railroad. In fact, Thomasville was the terminus. In 1897, Harper’s Weekly considered Thomasville “the best winter resort on three continents.” Beginning in 1895, dozens of wealthy Jeptha H.
