Swann MAN AGING EDITOR OF THE BROOKLYN EAGLE The Brooklyn Chapter under the leadership of its president, E. James Gambaro, has embarked on a program to promote a better under­ standing between its members and the community. The Chapter be­ lieves the architect has it within his means to enlarge his stature and bring credit to the profession by participating in civic development. It believes that the public at all .financial levels can benefit from the architect's services. It believes, that all architects must be awakened to the reality that the profession as a whole is judged by the work of individuals, and that each must devote his talents in the highest tradition of the pro­ fession, to the end that the work of each will reflect in credit to him­ self, his client, the community and the entire profession. As a step in this direction for better public relations the Brooklyn Chapter devoted its February meeting to the address here printed. rro BEGIN WITH, let US assume an architect about my constructien that architects, newspapermen problems. and cops are the most widely mis­ This must be old stuff to you understood of people.

  • This History Is in Two Parts, the First Gives a Brief Background of St
    A History of St. Mary's Church : This history is in two parts, the first gives a brief background of St. Mary’s Catholic Church before it became a Catholic Church. The second part is a brief history of the Catholic Church on Whidbey Island and includes the purchase of St. Mary’s Church in 1934 and its subsequent history. CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH HISTORY Early in January, 1866, Mrs. Daniel Pearson, accompanied by her teenaged son and daughter, prepared to board the steamship CONTINENTAL in New York Harbor to make the trip around the tip of South America to the Washington Territory. They would be part of the Second Mercer Expedition. The First Mercer Expedition had sailed in 1864. Georgia and Josephine Pearson were members of that first group – they were called the “Mercer Girls”, and they came to teach school. Both sisters had jobs on Whidbey Island. They were chaperoned by their father, who had secured a job as the Lighthouse Keeper on Whidbey Island. He then sent for his wife and two teenagers. Mrs. Pearson and the children sailed on January 17, and they arrived in San Francisco on April 24, 1866. In a few days, they were sailing north on a smaller ship, landing on May 31, at Port Townsend, the port of entry for the Washington Territory at that time. On June 1, they sailed by ferry to Whidbey Island, coming ashore at Ebey’s Landing. As they climbed the bluff to their new home in the lighthouse, Flora Augusta Pearson, age 15, felt she was “one step from heaven.” And so, the Pearson family and other pioneer families settled Central Whidbey Island on “land donations.” Flora Pearson worked with her father as Assistant Lighthouse Keeper for eleven years.

  • Prison Museum Brochure
    Prison Museum Brochure WELCOME The Burlington County Prison Museum is a national historic landmark located in the heart of historic Mount Holly, New Jersey. Designed by Robert Mills, one of America's first native-born and trained architects, the Burlington County Prison was completed in 1811. As one of Mills' first independent architectural designs, the interior vaulted ceilings of poured concrete and brick and stone construction made the building virtually fireproof. Not only is the structure well suited to its purpose and virtually maintenance free, it also incorporates the philosophies of penal reform that were advocated during the period. In short, this structure was a fine example of innovative interior planning, fireproofing, heating and ventilation systems and the growing notion of social responsibility to rehabilitate criminals. In fact, it was so well constructed that it remained in constant use until 1965. We hope you enjoy your visit. As you tour this museum we remind you that this building was a prison for 154 years…at the time of its closing it was the oldest continually used prison in the United States. No mean feat for any building! THE ARCHITECT Robert Mills (1781-1855) was born in Charleston, South Carolina to a well-established Scottish family that settled there in 1770. One of six children, Mills was singled out early to follow a professional career and completed his classical course of study at Charleston College in 1800. His interest in architecture was probably developed and influenced by his architect uncle, Thomas Mills of Dundee, Scotland and his contact with the noted English architect James Hoban, who lived in Charleston during Mills' college years.
