  • St. Paul Walking Tour
    Cass Gilbert Society Walking Tour Fall 2004 CASS GILBERT SOCIETY WALKING TOUR, FALL 2004 This walking tour has been adapted by Marjorie Pearson from the tours prepared for the Cass Gilbert Society by Tom Blanck and Charles Locks in 1999 and 2000 and is based on their copyrighted material. This tour focuses on ten houses and two churches designed by Cass Gilbert. Also included are the home of his partner, James Knox Taylor, and the home of his chief draftsman and protege Thomas Holyoke. Several other buildings and sites that have personal or professional connections with Gilbert are noted. The tour begins at the intersection of Summit Avenue and Portland Avenue by the statue of Nathan Hale. Looking northeast from the statue of Nathan Hale is: 76 Western Avenue North, James Knox Taylor residence. Taylor was Gilbert's partner from 1884 to 1892, served as Supervising Architect of the Treasury from 1898 to 1912, and was head of the Department of Architecture at MIT from 1912 to 1914. The house has been remodeled, and simplified since Taylor’s residence. The Colonial Revival trim on the upper-level front windows and the Queen Anne sash on stairwell window on the north side are details indicative of Taylor's era. Walking east on Summit on the left is: Cochran Park (1924). Among the last works of Thomas Holyoke, Cochran Park was designed the year before he died. The fountain, landscaping materials, curving paths, and the placement of the shelter are inspired by the City Beautiful movement. The shelter, with its corner quoins, tracery, beamed ceiling, and slate roof, might be described as Beaux-Arts.

Landmark From D+D, September 2010 By Joe Maty Editor, Durability + Design New York Life Insurance Company has successfully built an indelible brand identity by calling itself “The Company You Keep.” Perhaps equally firmly etched into public consciousness of the venerable Empire State-based concern is its landmark headquarters building on Madison Avenue, a Gothic- revival, Indiana limestone edifice designed in 1926 by the legendary Cass Gilbert. The towering structure has loomed large in the company’s media imagery for many years. No doubt it’s the building the company will keep, considering its intimate connection with the corporate identity. Recently, the company also demonstrated that the building’s roof it is surely determined to keep—intact in all its gold-gilt glory, a gem glittering amid Gotham’s steel, stone, and concrete canyons. New York Life summoned The Gilders’ Studio Inc., based in Olney, Md., to formulate and execute a restoration and regilding program for the pyramidal, lantern-topped roof, composed of 25,000 gilded tiles. The job entailed an in- depth evaluation of materials and methods to return the roof and lantern to their former, glittering appearance. The company also serves as construction manager for the project. The upper section of the building, showing the gilded roof following restoration Michael Kramer, president of The Gilders Studio, said the roof is the largest exterior gold-leaf structure in the Photos courtesy of The Gilders’ Studio.
