The building remains as one of the few, intact multiple-story commercial buildings on an important city block along North State Street. The period of significance for the Morse Hardware Building, 1902 to 1920, encompasses the building's date of construction (1902) and period of use and rise to regional prominence as commercial retail space, offices, storage, and distribution space for the Morse Hardware Company. The Morse Hardware Company Building draws its architectural significance from its overall well-proportioned, Classically- influenced front facade composition and its intact rear utilitarian facade. The substantial, rectangular, two-story Chuckanut sandstone and dark red brick masonry building nearly fills a 55' by 125' lot for a total footprint dimension of 115' with 55' of frontage.

    Forest Avenue and Stevens Avenue Portland, Maine Historic Context

    Forest Avenue and Stevens Avenue Portland, Maine Historic Context Scott T. Hanson Sutherland Conservation & Consulting August 2015 General context Development of Colonial Falmouth European settlement of the area that became the city of Portland, Maine, began with English settlers establishing homes on the islands of Casco Bay and on the peninsula known as Casco Neck in the early seventeenth century. As in much of Maine, early settlers were attracted by abundant natural resources, specifically fish and trees. Also like other early settlement efforts, those at Casco Bay and Casco Neck were tenuous and fitful, as British and French conflicts in Europe extended across the Atlantic to New England and both the French and their Native American allies frequently sought to limit British territorial claims in the lands between Massachusetts and Canada. Permanent settlement did not come to the area until the early eighteenth century and complete security against attacks from French and Native forces did not come until the fall of Quebec to the British in 1759. Until this historic event opened the interior to settlement in a significant way, the town on Casco Neck, named Falmouth, was primarily focused on the sea with minimal contact with the interior. Falmouth developed as a compact village in the vicinity of present day India Street. As it expanded, it grew primar- ily to the west along what would become Fore, Middle, and Congress streets. A second village developed at Stroudwater, several miles up the Fore River. Roads to the interior were limited and used primarily to move logs to the coast for sawing or use as ship’s masts.

    Potter Building Designation Report

    Landmarks Preservation Commission September 17, 1996, Designation List 274 LP-1948 POTTER BUILDING, 35-38 Park Row (aka 2-8 Beekman Street and 139-145 Nassau Street), Manhattan. Built 1883-86; N.G. Starkweather, architect; Boston Terra Cotta Co., architectural terra cotta. Landmark Site: Borough of Manhattan Tax Map Block 101, Lot 1. On May 14, 1996, the Landmarks Preservation Commission held a public hearing on the proposed designation as a Landmark of the Potter Building and the proposed designation of the related Landmark Site (Item No. 9). The hearing was continued to July 16, 1996 (Item No. 1). The hearings had been duly advertised in accordance with the provisions of law. Representatives of the 38 Park Row Residence Corp. and the Living Earth Realty Corp., the owner and the commercial lessee, spoke in favor of designation but expressed concerns about regulatory policies. In addition, representatives of Council Member Kathryn Freed and Friends of Terra Cotta spoke in favor of designation. The Commission has also received a resolution from Community Board 1 in support of designation. Summary The eleven-story Potter Building was commissioned by Orlando B. Potter, a prominent figure in New York politics with prime commercial real estate holdings in Manhattan, and constructed in 1883-86 to the design of N.G. Starkweather, an architect who had formerly practiced in Baltimore and Washington, D.C. Built to replace Potter's World Building, destroyed by fire in January 1882, the Potter Building had the most advanced fireproofing then available. With its vertically-expressed design executed in red brick and brownstone-colored terra cotta above a cast-iron-clad base, and picturesque, flamboyant fusion of Queen Anne, neo- Grec, Renaissance Revival, and Colonial Revival motifs, the Potter Building was distinguished stylistically from most downtown buildings.

    Brief Biographies of American Architects Who Died Between 1897 and 1947

    Brief Biographies of American Architects Who Died Between 1897 and 1947 Transcribed from the American Art Annual by Earle G. Shettleworth, Jr., Director, Maine Historic Preservation Commission. Between 1897 and 1947 the American Art Annual and its successor volume Who's Who in American Art included brief obituaries of prominent American artists, sculptors, and architects. During this fifty-year period, the lives of more than twelve-hundred architects were summarized in anywhere from a few lines to several paragraphs. Recognizing the reference value of this information, I have carefully made verbatim transcriptions of these biographical notices, substituting full wording for abbreviations to provide for easier reading. After each entry, I have cited the volume in which the notice appeared and its date. The word "photo" after an architect's name indicates that a picture and copy negative of that individual is on file at the Maine Historic Preservation Commission. While the Art Annual and Who's Who contain few photographs of the architects, the Commission has gathered these from many sources and is pleased to make them available to researchers.

Built late 1860s; facade altered 1929-30, Franklin Abbott, architect; penthouse and rear facade 1977-82, Paul Rudolph, architect. Landmark Site: Borough of Manhattan Tax Map Block 1361, Lot 118. On November 17, 2009, the Landmarks Preservation Commission held a hearing on the proposed designation of the Paul Rudolph Penthouse & Apartments and the proposed designation of the related Landmarks Site (Item No. 5). Three people spoke in favor of designation, including representatives of Docomomo New York/Tri-State, the Historic Districts Council, and the Paul Rudolph Foundation. Community Board No. 6 took no position at this time and a representative of the owner of the property requested that the public record remain open for a period of thirty days. Summary Paul Rudolph, one of the most celebrated and innovative American architects of the 20th century, was associated with 23 Beekman Place for more than 35 years, from 1961 until his death in 1997. Trained at the Harvard Graduate School of Design in the 1940s, Rudolph was a second-generation modernist who grew dissatisfied with functional aesthetics but remained committed to exploiting industrial materials to create structures of great formal complexity. From 1958 to 1965, he served as chairman of the Department of Architecture at Yale University, where he designed the well-known Art and Architecture Building, now called Paul Rudolph Hall. Rudolph began leasing an apartment on the fourth floor of 23 Beekman Place in 1961, which became his full-time residence in 1965.
