Palladio's Influence in America
Palladio’s Influence In America Calder Loth, Senior Architectural Historian, Virginia Department of Historic Resources 2008 marks the 500th anniversary of Palladio’s birth. We might ask why Americans should consider this to be a cause for celebration. Why should we be concerned about an Italian architect who lived so long ago and far away? As we shall see, however, this architect, whom the average American has never heard of, has had a profound impact on the architectural image of our country, even the city of Baltimore. But before we investigate his influence we should briefly explain what Palladio’s career involved. Palladio, of course, designed many outstanding buildings, but until the twentieth century few Americans ever saw any of Palladio’s works firsthand. From our standpoint, Palladio’s most important achievement was writing about architecture. His seminal publication, I Quattro Libri dell’ Architettura or The Four Books on Architecture, was perhaps the most influential treatise on architecture ever written. Much of the material in that work was the result of Palladio’s extensive study of the ruins of ancient Roman buildings. This effort was part of the Italian Renaissance movement: the rediscovery of the civilization of ancient Rome—its arts, literature, science, and architecture. Palladio was by no means the only architect of his time to undertake such a study and produce a publication about it. Nevertheless, Palladio’s drawings and text were far more engaging, comprehendible, informative, and useful than similar efforts by contemporaries. As with most Renaissance-period architectural treatises, Palladio illustrated and described how to delineate and construct the five orders—the five principal types of ancient columns and their entablatures. -

E.NEW YORK .Lie LIBRARY rs526390 Copyright 1901 by Edgar Woods. • -• THE MicHiE Company, Printers, Charlottesville, Va. 1901. PREFACE. An examination of the records of the county for some in- formation, awakened curiosity in regard to its early settle- ment, and gradually led to a more extensive search. The fruits of this labor, it was thought, might be worthy of notice, and productive of pleasure, on a wider scale. There is a strong desire in most men to know who were their forefathers, whence they came, where they lived, and how they were occupied during their earthly sojourn. This desire is natural, apart from the requirements of business, or the promptings of vanity. The same inquisitiveness is felt in regard to places. Who first entered the farms that checker the surrounding landscape, cut down the forests that once covered it, and built the habitations scattered over its bosom? With the young, who are absorbed in the engagements of the present and the hopes of the future, this feeling may not act with much energy ; but as they advance in life, their thoughts turn back with growing persistency to the past, and they begin to start questions which perhaps there is no means of answering. -

Perdue, Jr., and Nancy J. Martin-Perdue During his ventures through the Southern Highlands searching for English folksongs in oral tradition in America in 1916, Cecil Sharp, then director of the Stratford-on-Avon School of Folk Lore and Folk Dancing in England, spent some time in Albemarle County. Here Sharp collected ballads from a number of individuals, including Nuel Walton of Brown's Cove, and Orilla Keeton and Victoria (Shifflett) Morris at Mt. Fair, and he published some of their texts and music in his English Folk Songs from the Southern Appalachians. Later, beginning in 1932, members of the Virginia Folklore Society would record on aluminum discs the singing of Morris and Keeton and preserve in manuscript form the songs and ballads of Smith Morris of Greene County, Daisy Nicholson and J. M. Jenkins of Madison County, and Z. T. Compton of Warren County, among others whose names would also eventually appear on the lists of those whose lands were condemned for the development of Shenandoah National Park.2 1The material in this article is part of a book-length manuscript, which bears the same title and is in preparation.
