I’m incredibly grateful for the time she took to share her knowledgeable insight and provide thorough feedback. Committee members Dr. Jason Weems and Dr. Catherine Gudis also brought valuable depth to my project through their knowledge of American architecture, urbanism, and preservation. The department of Art History at the University of California, Riverside (UCR) made this project possible by providing me with a travel grant to conduct research in New York City. Carnegie Hall’s archivists graciously guided my research at the beginning of this project and provided more information than I could fit in this thesis. I could not have accomplished this project without the support of Stacie, Hannah, Leah, and all the friends who helped me stay grounded through the last two years of writing, editing, and talking about architecture.

  • An Historical Timeline of Events Concerning the Boston Music Hall, the "Great Organ" and the Methuen Memorial Music Hall
    AN HISTORICAL TIMELINE OF EVENTS CONCERNING THE BOSTON MUSIC HALL, THE "GREAT ORGAN" AND THE METHUEN MEMORIAL MUSIC HALL 1837 The initial development of the organization that was later to become known as "The Harvard Musical Association" was started by a group of Harvard College graduates in July. As students, these graduates had been members of the Pierian Sodality, established in 1808. The graduates met with some fifty prominent citizens of Boston to form a new society, the chief goals of which were to be "...the promotion of musical taste and science in the University, ...to enrich the walls of Harvard with a complete musical library, ...and to prepare the way for regular musical instruction in the College". The new society was initially known as "The General Association of Past and Present Members of the Pierian Sodality". 1840 The society known as "The General Association of Past and Present Members of the Pierian Sodality" changed its name to "The Harvard Musical Association". 1851 The need for a large and centrally-located concert hall for Boston was discussed at the annual meeting of The Harvard Musical Association on Friday, January 31. A Music Hall Committee, comprised of members Robert E. Apthorp, George Derby, John Sullivan Dwight, Charles Callahan Perkins and Dr. Jabez Baxter Upham, was appointed to address the matter. The Music Hall Committee of The Harvard Musical Association selected a site for the proposed hall in the center of the block bounded by Tremont Street, Washington Street, Winter Street and Bromfield Street in February. The Music Hall Committee of The Harvard Musical Association engaged architect George Snell to draw up plans for the proposed hall in April.

  • Sissle & Blake's Shuffle Along
    Sissle & Blake’s Shuffle Along New World NW 260 Shuffle Along was a miracle. In the spring of 1921 hardly anyone believed that a musical written, performed, produced, and directed by American blacks could be presented on Broadway. But on May 23 Shuffle Along opened at New York's 63rd Street Theatre, which was then part of Broadway, and promptly made theatrical history. The show restored authentic black artistry to the mainstream of the American theater. A daring synthesis of ragtime and operetta, it had an enormous impact on the development of the Broadway musical during its most vibrant years. It featured jazz dancing, was the first black musical to play white theaters across the United States, and was a vital part of the black cultural renaissance of the 1920s. The triumph of Shuffle Along and its creators, Noble Sissle, Eubie Blake, Flournoy Miller, and Aubrey Lyles, was a beacon of hope to every black artist in America. Blacks were never again systematically barred from the Broadway stage, as they had been in the decade before the play's opening. On the other side of the ledger, once Shuffle Along opened, white entrepreneurs used their power of the purse to mulct black artists. Today our musical theater is nearly moribund, but fifty-five years ago, when Shuffle Along opened, Broadway was a vibrant place, ablaze with the fires of ambition and aspiration. The shows of the period, marvels full of tunes and talents, pulsed with the excitement of those raw and energetic years. There were really zany comedians, beautiful showgirls, lavish costumes, and many wonderful singers and dancers.
