  • Brochure on the Architecture of Joseph Royer
    DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT SERVICES Planning Division m e m o r a n d u m TO: Laurel Lunt Prussing, Mayor FROM: Elizabeth H. Tyler, AICP, Community Development Director / City Planner DATE: September 6, 2007 SUBJECT: Joseph W. Royer Architectural District Brochure Introduction & Background At the Historic Preservation Commission meeting on August 1, 2007, Ilona Matkovszki and Councilmember Dennis Roberts presented a brochure entitled “The Joseph W. Royer Architectural District, In the Heart of Old Urbana” (copy attached). The brochure consists essentially of a walking tour, with a list and description of 14 buildings and sites in and near downtown Urbana designed by prominent Urbana architect Joseph Royer and a map which locates each of the properties. Ms. Ilona Matkovszki did the research and wrote the text; Councilmember Roberts created the design. At the Historic Preservation Commission meeting, Councilmember Roberts proposed that the Commission and City Council: 1. Support the designation and creation of the “Joseph W. Royer Architectural District;” 2. Approve the creation of a brochure explaining the proposed district, and that it be published and distributed freely in the community; and 3. Approve future funding for marking historic buildings or building sites in the district, the Royer office site, and for marking the perimeter of the district at logical approach avenues. The Historic Preservation Commission was impressed with and supportive of the concept of the brochure, although some commissioners took issue with some of the language in the brochure. At the end of the discussion, the Historic Preservation Commission passed a motion to endorse the concept of the brochure, to recommend that the district have signage, and that the Commission have the ability to review the wording of the brochure and any other promotional materials.

Erected between 1916- 1920 to the plans of University of Illinois architect, James M. White, the building is an example of the Beaux Arts Classical style on a campus of primarily Georgian Revival structures. Integrity of design has been maintained over the years. Since its completion in 1920, the building has housed the expanding School of Music, and was the School's only building during its formative period when hundreds of undergraduate and graduate t' students were influenced byits renowned 'acuIty and visiting performers to the music department.
