  • The Architect As Archivist and Architectural Historian: Laurence Hall Fowler (1876-1971) & the First Maryland Hall of Records Dr
    The Architect as Archivist and Architectural Historian: Laurence Hall Fowler (1876-1971) & the First Maryland Hall of Records Dr. Edward C. Papenfuse, Maryland State Archivist and Commissioner of Land Patents Illustration 1: Laurence Hall Fowler, courtesy of Special Collections, The Johns Hopkins University We meet to celebrate the 500th anniversary of the birth of Andrea Palladio (1508-1580). The morning theme was Palladio’s passion for precision, order, organization and protection of the built urban world, both his and that of ancient Greece and Rome. This afternoon I would like to turn our attention to a Baltimore architect who was passionate about protecting and preserving the written and visual record of not only the built world, but also the people who inhabited it, especially those who lived in 18th century colonial America. Laurence Hall Fowler is best known for the books he collected and the homes he built, largely for the wealthy of Baltimore. In 1984, the Johns Hopkins Libraries published a catalog of his drawings, Laurence Hall Fowler, Architect (1876-1971), introduced and edited by Egon Verheyen in collaboration with John Ray, Peter Sze, and Michele Taylor. There you will find excellent essays on Fowler’s life and training as an architect, with particular emphasis on his private commissions. While mention is made of his public commissions, little is said about how he diligently applied his acquired knowledge of Palladian influenced architecture, both ancient and 18th century, to the interiors and exteriors of his work, private and public. His collection of pre-1800 architectural books was extensive. He gave them to Johns Hopkins University and, with Elizabeth Baer, published an excellent catalog The Fowler Architectural Collection of the Johns Hopkins University in 1961.

Florida Library History Project Volusia County Public Library Prior to the enactment of the Library Services Act in the mid-fifties (later to become the Library Services and Construction Act), throughout the United States libraries were frequently substandard or non-existent, particularly in rural areas. In Florida, 2,000,000 people had no access to library service, and only a quarter of the population had adequate service. Volusia County libraries were small, often started by women's clubs, or associations which supported the library through memberships. Others were supported by municipalities, but cloistered in small rooms of city halls or community centers. Not only were facilities inadequate, book collections consisted mainly of second-hand books contributed by citizens, and there were few professional librarians. Charlotte Smith, head librarian at Stetson University during that period, recognized the need for a countywide effort to upgrade libraries, and organized the Volusia County library program in 1949.
