  • Horace Trumbauer: a Life in Architecture
    THE PennsylvanialMagazine OF HISTORY AND BIOGRAPHY Horace Trumbauer: A Life in Architecture IXT ITHIN MONTHS after g legal age, Horace Trumbauer pened his architectural office in Philadelphia. Before he died V in his native city nearly ha a century later, he had brought forth well over a thousand works. Remembered best for his mansions, he in fact devised buildings and alterations of virtually every size and purpose. Most stand in Philadelphia or its suburbs, although structures north to Maine and south to Florida, west to Colorado and east to England make him far from a local architect. While he had many gifted employees, their purpose was to carry out his intentions. Today he ranks as Phiadelphia's representative among the top tier of American architects of the Gilded Age. His life was dosely interwoven with the opulent era of architecture through which he lived. Born soon after the Civil War, the boy grew up in a nation freshly emerged as a world power, whose architects cast aside regional customs in favor of historic styles firmly within the European mainstream. Europe's own use of such styles had grown overly mannered so that the United States now led in architecture no less than in industry. First fruits of this period were still arising when Horace quit school at age fourteen to apprentice at an architectural firm. Going on his own in 1890, the twenty-one-year-old won instant approval from prosperous clients. Chief THE PENNSYLVANIA MAGAZINE OF HISTORY AND BIOGRAPHY Vol. CXXV,No. 4 (October 2001) FREDERICK PLAIT October celebrities of the era were its tycoons, and almost at once he began erecting immense residences for them.

    Manhattan Offi ce Market 3 RD QUARTER 2019 REPORT A NEWS RECAP AND MARKET SNAPSHOT Pictured: 380 Second Avenue Looking Ahead New Letter-Grade Energy Ratings Requirement for NYC Buildings The bill proposed in 2017 as part of a “package of quality-of-life” measure was reportedly enacted by Mayor de Blasio on January 8, 2018. Local Law 33 is the latest initiative to reduce greenhouse emissions and increase the energy effi ciency of large and mid-sized New York City buildings. Beginning January 2020, city-owned buildings larger than 10,000 square feet and all other commercial and residential buildings over 25,000 square feet will be required to display energy effi ciency grades near a public entrance, reportedly expanding upon Local 84 of 2009, which requires the submission of annual energy and water consumption benchmark data. Ranging from “A” to “F,” the letter grades will be based on the United States Department of Energy’s Energy Star score. Rating Required Score Rating Required Score “A” 85 or higher “C” 55 or higher “B” 70 or higher “D” Less than 55 “F” if information not submitted by owner to the city “N” if not feasible to obtain a score, however the city plans to audit the information submitted for the ranking Response to the new law has been mixed, with some suggesting last year that the “system may need to provide exemptions for those buildings with historical designations that may be prohibited from completing certain upgrades.” Proponents of the bill believe it will help push the city’s building owners to reduce energy usage and carbon emissions as intended.
