However, White's influence and design pre­ dominated in those listed below: IS80 Monument to the Founder Llewellyn Park, N. Y. C. I8h Morgan, Gov. Edwin D. Vault Hartford, Conn. I8h Farragut Statue Pedestal Madison Square, N.Y.C. 1883 Winans, Ross R. Residence Baltimore, Md. 1883 Goelet, Robert Residence Newport, R. I. Still, in the opinion of many, one of the most attractive houses in Newport. I88,}3 Cheney, Miss Anne W. Residence S. Manchester, 190 Conn. 1884 Auchincloss, H. B. Residence Orange, N. J. 1884 Tiffany, Charles L. Residence Madison Ave., at 72. St., N. Y. C. Stewart, D. Monument Greenwood Ceme­ tery, N. Y. Church of the Ascension Chancel Fifth Ave. at 10' St., N. Y. C. (with John La Farge, Louis St. Gaudens, and Maitland Armstrong) Villard, Henry Residence 4 S I Madison Ave., N.Y.C. (now Mrs. Whitelaw Reid}-HaU & Dining Room APPENDIX I885 Osborn, Charles J. Residence Mamaroneck, N. Y. 1885 Pennsylvania Railroad Parlor Car 1885 Hopkins, Mrs. Mark Residence Great Barrington, Mass. In its day, the most ambitious country house in America-a monster of a house. Bennett, James Gordon yacht Namountl St. Gaudens' Standing Lincoln Pedestal Chicago, Ill. Pendleton, F. K. Residence Shinnecock, L. I. (Mr. Pendleton, an attorney, with offices at 78 Broad­ way, allowed his partner, Mr. S. 1. Parrish, to "materially modify" White's designs. Clients, as McKim often re­ marked, are difficult, uncertain, and hard to please.) Atterberry, Charles L. Residence Shinnecock, L. I. Later used as a summer home and studio by Wm. M. Chase. Methodist Episcopal Church Baltimore, Md. With a fine Romanesque tower 1887 Choate, Joseph H. Residence Stockbridge, Mass. 1888 Adams, E. D. Residence Rumson Neck, N.J. 1889 Restoration of College Church Hanover, N. H. 1889 Washington Memorial Arch Washington Square, N. Y. C. 1889 Freundschaft Club New York City This was the Drst of dozens of clubs designed by the firm. The second was the Algonquin Club in Boston, designed by McKim. 1889 BatteD Memorial Fountain Norfolk, Conn. 1889 Nathan Hale Monument Pedestal City Hall Park, with Frederick MacMonnies N. Y. C. In a letter to Lawrence Grant White, MacMonnies said: "It was in 1884 that I went to Paris to enter the Beaux­ Arts. Two years later Stanford White, hearing that my money had run out, sent me--unsolicited-my Drst commission, thereby enabling me to continue my studies. By this generous action at a critical time in my life, and by the beauty of the architectural settings 318 APPENDIX which he made for so many of my works, he contributed very largely to whatever success I may have had." 1890 N. Y. Life Ins. Building Omaha, Neb. 1890 N. Y. Life Ins. Building Kansas City 1890 Players' Club Gramercy Park, N.Y.C. According to Herbert D. Croly, founder and first edi­ tor of the New Republic, "to this day (1906) the most charming and comfortable clubhouse in America." 1890 Prospect Park Entrance, etc. Brooklyn, N: Y. with Frederick MacMonnies 1890 Paulist Fathers' Church New York City in association with John La Farge 1890 Whittemore, J. H. Residence Naugatuck, Conn. Emmons, Nathaniel H. Memorial Boston, Mass. Morgan, E. D. Residence Newport with McKim 1891 The Adams Memorial Rock Creek Cemetery, Washington, D. C. White designed the perfect frame for what is certainly the most haunting statue in America-St. Gaudens' ageless figure, shrouded and motionless, yet so alive, so detached and so content in her loneliness. She is, of course, nameless and without inscription. To some she represents Grief; to others Victory. To all she must appear to be a masterpiece. 1891 Judson Memorial Church Washington Square, N. Y. C. Though White was, of course, expert in Romanesque architecture, this was his only major exercise in Roman­ esque later than the Tiffany House designed in 1884; and even here the detail is early Renaissance. But the arcades and the tower (which give the church its im­ portance) are modelled after the early Romanesque churches of Rome. Begun in 1888, the centennial an­ niversary of the birth of the Reverend Adoniram Jud­ son, the Baptist Inissionary to Burma, the church proper, the schoolrooms, children's home and young men's APPENDIX apartment house were completed in 189 I at a cost of $ po, 500 for ground and buildings. Robb, J. Hamden Residence %3 Park Ave., (now Advertising Club) N. Y. C. Century Club New York City "In the rooms of the Century Club," Herbert Croly once said, "White was most happy in maintaining a strong suggestion of the old New York interiors-than which no atmosphere could have been more appropriate for the apartments of a club with the traditions of a century." Madison Square Garden New York City To Wm. A. Laffan, owner of the New York Sun, the tower of Madison Square Garden was "far and away the loveliest structure in New York City." Hotel Imperial B'way at 3 I St., New York City On December 10, 19%1, Royal Cortissoz said: "We are accustomed today to mural decorations in our public buildings, but the idea was new and strange when White commissioned T. W. Dewing and Edwin A. Abbey to paint important decorations for the Old Imperial Hotel, yet I would emphasize not so much the character of the specific designs which he caused to be produced. It is the spirit in which he went about the thing that counted-a spirit of glowing comradeship. He put heart into the men with whom he worked! Merely to have White with him was, for an artist, half the battle." Lorillard, Pierre Residence Tuxedo Park, N.Y. Cover for the Memorial Volume of the Cen­ tennial of Washington's Inauguration -published by D. Appleton & Co. 189% King, David H., Jr. Rows of flats 138 & 139 Sts., N.Y.C. In Black Manhattan James Weldon Johnson says: "The Equitable Life Assurance Company held vacant for quite a while the block of private houses designed by Stanford White which the company had taken over following the hegira of the whites from Harlem." 31.0 APPENDIX 1892 Columbus Centennial New York City 1892 Maryland Society's Battle Monument Prospect Park, Bklyn As was his habit on such occasions, White gave his de­ sign to the Society.

Shepard, Mrs. Eliot F. Residence Scarborough, N.Y. 1894 Nathan Hale Memorial Huntington, 1. I. White not only made the design, but gave the central shaft as his contribution to the memorial fund. 1894 Osborn, Charles J. Mausoleum Woodlawn, N. Y. 1894 Miller, Dr. George N. Residence 811 Madison Ave., N.Y.C. 1894 Metropolitan Club New York City One of the earliest, and still one of the most successful, examples of pure Renaissance architecture in America. 1894 New York University Hall of Languages-New York City 1894 Broadway & 7th Ave. R.R.

MacMonnies recently completed a fine bust of Whistler for the Hall of Fame in New York City. 1896 Goelet, Robert Cups for Yachting Prizes-Exe- cuted by Tiffany 1896 Twombly, H.
