    A Historical Bibliography of Commercial Architecture in the United States

    A HISTORICAL BIBLIOGRAPHY OF COMMERCIAL ARCHITECTURE IN THE UNITED STATES Compiled by Richard Longstreth, 2002; last revised 7 May 2019 I have focused on historical accounts giving substantive coverage of the commercial building types that traditionally distinguish city and town centers, outlying business districts, and roadside development. These types include financial institutions, hotels and motels, office buildings, restaurants, retail and wholesale facilities, and theaters. Buildings devoted primarily to manufacturing and other forms of production, transportation, and storage are not included. Citations of writings devoted to the work of an architect or firm and to the buildings of a community are limited to a few of the most important relative to this topic. For purposes of convenience, listings are divided into the following categories: Banks; Hotels-Motels; Office Buildings; Restaurants; Taverns, etc.; Retail and Wholesale Buildings; Roadside Buildings, Miscellaneous; Theaters; Architecture and Place; Urbanism; Architects; Materials-Technology; and Miscellaneous. Most accounts are scholarly in nature, but I have included some popular accounts that are particularly rich in the historical material presented. Any additions or corrections are welcome and will be included in updated editions of this bibliography. Please send them to me at [email protected].

Committee Chair signature: Skywalks as Heritage: Exploring Alternatives for the Cincinnati Skywalk System A thesis submitted to Division of Research and Advanced Studies of the University of Cincinnati in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF COMMUNITY PLANNING School of Planning College of Design, Architecture, Art, and Planning August 2009 By SILVIA GUGU Bachelor of Urban Design, Ion Mincu University of Architecture and Urban Design, Bucharest Thesis Committee: Chair: MAHYAR AREFI, Ph. D. Faculty Member: FRANK RUSSELL, AIA. Abstract Skywalks are a unique typology of second level covered pedestrian networks linking parking and downtown destinations. They were implemented throughout North American cities to attract pedestrians and sustain retail in central business districts. The relative rarity of skywalk systems (Robertson 1994), their relevance to the particularities of American urban design history (Fruin 1971; Robertson 1994) and their position at the intersection of major concerns of the 20th century American city: traffic (Fruin 1971; Robertson 1994), downtown revitalization (Robertson 1994), and identity (McMorough 2001) provided the departure point for examining skywalks as 20th Century heritage. As the viability of skywalks is questioned, this paper employs a toolkit based on the theory and values of heritage preservation to evaluate skywalks as built heritage.

    Time Line for Belle of Louisville's History 1787­1800 1787 ­ John Fitch builds a steam­powered vessel, The Steamboat, for the Delaware River in New Jersey 1791 ­ John Fitch receives the first U.S. patent for his steam­powered riverboat designs 1798 ­ Even though he has built four successful steamboats by this time, Fitch fails to receive financial backing for his invention and falls into a depression from which he never recovers. 1800­1900 1807 ­ Robert Fulton and his partners, Robert Livingston and Nicholas Roosevelt build the "North River" using Fitch's designs. The boat runs successfully on the Hudson River in New York. Fulton erroneously receives historic credit for inventing the steamboat. 1811 ­ Robert Fulton and his partners build “The New Orleans”, the first steamboat to travel on the Ohio River. The boat miraculously reaches New Orleans, Louisiana, and proves that river travel by steam is possible and profitable. 1820­1880 ­ Thousands of shallow­draft steam­powered packet (freight) boats and towboats are built and put into service on America's inland waterways. Nearly 75% of the boats are from shipyards along the Ohio River. 1900­1930 1914 ­ The Idlewild is christened on October 18th at Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. She first serves as a ferry between Memphis, Tennessee, and West Memphis, Arkansas, while a bridge is being built.
