Additional processing was done by Annemarie van Roessel, Archivist, Department of Drawings & Archives, Avery Architectural and Fine Arts Library, in December 2006. Finding Aid Inventory written by Virginia Kurshan; revised, expanded, and Preparation: prepared for electronic publication by Annemarie van Roessel in 2006. Finding Aid Date: 1980-09, revised 2007-01-03 Historical Note: Between 1904 and 1915, The Craftsman Architects produced architectural and related designs as a department of Gustav Stickley’s Craftsman enterprise. Originally based in Syracuse, New York, the office moved to New York City in 1906, occupying several different locations in Manhattan before bankruptcy disbanded Stickley’s business empire in 1915. With only a few exceptions, beginning in 1904, each monthly issue of The Craftsman magazine included plans, perspective renderings, and descriptions of one to four individual residences. As reflections of Stickley’s design and lifestyle philosophies and as settings for Stickley’s popular line of Arts and Crafts-influenced furniture and decorative arts, these Craftsman residences served “to substitute the luxury of taste for the luxury of costliness; to teach that beauty does not imply elaboration or ornament, to employ only those forms and materials which make for simplicity, individuality and dignity of effect.” Many of these designs were also collected in stand-alone volumes, including Craftsman Homes (1909), More Craftsman Homes (1912), 24 Craftsman Houses (1912), and Craftsman Houses: A Book for Home- makers (1913). Concurrently, these published residences were prepared as architectural working drawings for interested readers, and were offered through a membership in The Craftsman Homebuilders' Club, which was free to subscribers of The Craftsman. In some cases, the published designs vary slightly from the corresponding working drawings represented in this collection, explained in part by the practicalities of creating architectural documents that could be used for actual construction. Additionally, The Craftsman Architects customized published houses and created newly commissioned designs for private clients across the United States. A related division of Stickley’s enterprise, the Craftsman Home Building Company, appears to have supervised the construction of many of these residences in the New York and New Jersey region. Scope and Content: This collection contains original and reprographic design and working drawings for houses and related structures designed by The Craftsman Architects, Inc., under the direction of Gustav Stickley. The collection includes 150 unique sets of drawings—including 127 of the 221 designs published nearly monthly in The Craftsman magazine. The published drawings were created between circa January 1904 and March 1915, while most of the privately commissioned drawings are undated. Included among the 150 sets are designs for residences of all sizes, schoolhouses, hardware, and installations of the Craftsman Fireplace-Furnace system. Most of the drawings are original, done in ink and colored ink on linen or graphite on trace, with a few blueprint reprographic copies completing some sets. A significant number of the sheets bear Gustav Stickley’s signature, as noted in the item inventory. Dept. of Drawings & Archives, Avery Architectural and Fine Arts Library page 2 Columbia University Arrangement and Organization: This collection is divided into four series, according to drawing subject, as follows: Series I: Published Houses. Drawings are arranged by the project number under which the designs were published in The Craftsman magazine. In some instances, the actual drawings may bear a different number, in which case both the former and latter numbers are noted in this finding aid. In addition, citations to original publication information as well as to the corresponding entries in Ray Stubblebine’s Stickley’s Craftsman Homes: plans, drawings, buildings are noted. Series II: Houses for Private Clients. Drawings are arranged alphabetically by client name, with citations to corresponding entries in Stickley’s Craftsman Homes: plans, drawings, buildings. Series III: Craftsman Fireplace-Furnace. Drawings are arranged alphabetically by client name. Series IV: Craftsman Hardware. Drawings are not arranged. Condition Note: Many of these drawings sustained significant damage from poor storage conditions prior to their arrival at Avery Library. However, in no case is a drawing illegible or unusable.

  • Design Guidelines for Morristown's Historic Properties
    PURPOSE The architecture of Morristown has evolved over nearly three centuries, since settlers first came to this area around the bend of the Whippany River in 1715. These buildings illustrate the development of Morristown from a small hamlet to a town. The wealth of history revealed in Morristown's architecture should be preserved. Familiar buildings, within the traditional commercial district and residential neighborhoods, create a continuity of place for the inhabitants of that town as well as frequent visitors. Morristown's community identity is expressed in its buildings. Preservation of a community's architectural heritage, therefore, is a preservation of its identity. In addition, preservation provides tangible benefits. Rejuvenating downtown areas brings economic viability back to the towns. ·When the commercial centers are made attractive and easy to navigate without vacant buildings or lots, they become more inviting to community members for shopping, eating, and other activities. Preserving the character of residential neighborhoods enhances the overall appeal of a community and makes it more attractive to people investing in real estate. Rehabilitation of existing buildings can often be less expensive than new construction, while creating more jobs in the community. Rehabilitation instead of demolition also has the environmental benefit of the reduction of waste in landfills. The objectives of this handbook are: contribution to the preservation of New Jersey's residential and commercial • To identify and define the historic resources; the purpose of these historic environment that exists model guidelines is to extend that today in Morristown. success to Morristown's most vulnerable • To identify the scope for historic Conservation and Sustainable Development in Morristown.

From its founding as a residential park, Mountain Lakes has integrated family living with man-made lakes, natural streams and springs, woodlands and wetlands. Dedicated parkland and undeveloped borough-owned lots contribute to spaciousness in both the proposed Mountain Lakes Historic District and the larger Borough. Throughout Mountain Lakes, forty percent of land is Borough-owned open space.1 At critical junctures in its history the Borough purchased additional undeveloped land to protect Mountain Lakes and the proposed district from intrusive development and to preserve its original design and character as a residential park. Mountain Lakes' ability to regulate its growth and maintain continuity in both landscape design and architecture has been characterized as unique in assessments of recent American city plauning.2 Its original housing stock-­ much of which remains today--was strongly influenced by the Arts and Crafts Movement in the United States. By their location on natural rather than graded terrain, and, the use oflocal building materials, the Craftsman-influenced homes closely connect to nature and critically
