Robert K. Fuller (March 13, 1886 – April 17, 1966) was an American architect. Fuller practiced architecture in Denver, Colorado, from 1914 until his death in 1966.

Early life and professional career

Robert Kenneth Fuller was born March 13, 1886, in Fort Collins, Colorado, to Montezuma Fuller, an architect and builder, and Anna Elizabeth Fuller, née Graham. He was educated at the Colorado State College of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts and Cornell University, graduating from the latter with a BArch in 1908. In 1910 he joined the Denver architectural firm of Roeschlaub & Son as a draftsman; he was promoted to chief draftsman in 1912, the same year senior partner Robert S. Roeschlaub retired. In 1914 he and Roeschlaub's son, Frank S. Roeschlaub, formed a partnership under the name Roeschlaub & Fuller. Roeschlaub retired in 1916 and in 1917 Fuller began practicing under his own name.[1]: 867 

Fuller's practice focused on the design of public buildings, including schools and courthouses.[1]: 867  In 1949, at about the age of 63, Fuller formed a partnership with his two sons under the name Fuller, Fuller & Fuller.[2]: 186  In 1950 the firm completed a master plan for the Colorado School of Mines and dominated construction there for over a decade.[3]: 154 

Fuller was a well-known figure in the Colorado architectural community. He was a long-time member of the American Institute of Architects (AIA) and served as president of its Colorado chapter from 1922 to 1926 and as regional director from its Western Mountain District from 1938 to 1941. While serving as regional director he was elected a Fellow of the AIA.[1]: 867  In 1943 he initiated the Colorado chapter's scholarship fund, for which he served as trustee until his death.[4] He also served on the Colorado State Planning Commission in 1934–35 and was a long-time member of the Colorado State Board of Architects.[1]: 867 

Personal life and death

Fuller was married in 1909 to Nelle Grace Roller; they had two children, both sons: Kenneth R. Fuller and Quentin R. Fuller.[1]: 867 

Fuller died April 17, 1966, in Denver at the age of 80.[4]

Architectural works

HN Black

Black worked for architect Gridley J. F. Bryant from 1874 to 1876 before relocating to Philadelphia. In July 1877, after the Great Fire of Saint John destroyed much of that New Brunswick city, Bryant recalled Black and the two established an office there. Bryant returned to Boston in January 1878 but Black stayed to open his own office.[7]: 160–161 

After the death of Saint John architect D. E. Dunham in October 1883, Black was appointed superintendent of the under-construction Post Office (1884) in Woodstock, designed by Chief Dominion Architect Thomas Fuller.[8]: 26 

In February 1887 Black opened an office for the season in Eastport, Maine, which had suffered its own devastating fire the preceding October. Black designed at least nineteen of the twenty-six buildings built as part of the rebuilding.

He apparently returned to Woodstock but in August 1889 he relocated to the boomtown of Fairhaven, Washington, now part of Bellingham, and formed the partnership of Longstaff & Black, architects, with Frank Longstaff, a recent arrival from Missoula, Montana. Longstaff had come to Fairhaven at the request of real estate investor Roland G. Gamwell to design the new Fairhaven Hotel (1890, demolished); Longstaff in turn invited Black, apparently a former colleague, to join in the work. They also designed Gamwell's house, the Gamwell House (1892, NRHP-listed), though it was not completed until some time after the Longstaff–Black partnership had been dissolved in June 1891.[9][10]

The firm was established in 1898 under the name Richards & McCarty by Clarence Earl Richards (February 22, 1865 – February 21, 1921) and Joel Edward McCarty (December 9, 1856 – July 22, 1952), employees of the leading local architectural firm, Yost & Packard. McCarty, the elder of the partners, was born in Macomb, Illinois. He was raised in Iowa and attended public schools before entering the Iowa State Normal School; after graduating in 1880 he taught for two years. In 1883 he moved to Columbus and joined the office of architect Joseph W. Yost, his mother's brother.[11]: 899–900  Richards was born in Jackson, Michigan. In 1871 Richards's father moved the family to a homestead in Butler County, Kansas; after ten years they moved into the county seat of El Dorado, where Richards completed his public school education. He then went on to the Kansas State Normal School to train as a teacher, which profession he followed until 1886. Richards had always wanted to be an architect or engineer and to that end he obtained a position as an assistant engineer with the Missouri Pacific Railroad. In that role he worked as a superintendent of buildings and bridges for the railroad's southwestern division. In 1889 he moved to Cincinnati, where he joined the office of established architect Edwin Anderson. After two years with Anderson he moved to Newark, Ohio, where he formed a partnership with his brother, an engineer, under the name Richards Brothers. In 1893 this was dissolved and Richards moved to Columbus, where he joined McCarty in the recently-reorganized firm of Yost & Packard.[12]: 316–317 

Only a year later they were joined by George Henry Bulford (January 19, 1870 – April 23, 1942) and the firm was reorganized under its familiar name. Bulford was born in Worcester, England, and came to Columbus in 1886 with his widowed mother and siblings. There, he joined McCarty in Yost's office and stayed until joining his former colleagues in partnership.[11]: 892–893  By 1920 the firm had emerged as the leading architects in Columbus and its partnership was recognized as being the longest-lasting in the profession in Ohio. By this time they had also completed notable works in Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Missouri, Tennessee and Texas.[12]: 316–317  In 1921 Richards died, though his partners continued under the same name.[11]: 899–900 

Bulford became active in the Columbus Chamber of Commerce during the presidency of his former employer, Frank L. Packard, in 1919–20. Packard appointed Bulford chair of the chamber's Civic Center committee, which was responsible for developing proposals for what became the Columbus Civic Center. After Bulford's committee made its report the influential Packard took over leadership of the project. Major planning did not begin until after Packard's death; to execute the project local architects, including McCarty and Bulford, formed the Allied Architects Association of Columbus in 1924. Bulford was president of the association for its entire existence and his firm was responsible for the last of the civic center buildings to be built, the Joseph P. Kinneary United States Courthouse (1934, NRHP-listed). The association was voluntarily dissolved in 1936.[13][14]

In December 1940 McCarty, aged 84, and Bulford, aged 70, were noted as two of Ohio's oldest and most respected architects.[13] Bulford died in the spring of 1942, shortly after the United States entered World War II.[14] After Bulford's death McCarty apparently ceded control to two employees of the firm, Wilfred A. Paine and George D. Crumley, who formed a successor partnership under the name Paine & Crumley. With Crumley away on defense work during World War II, Paine's sudden death in October 1943 concluded the firm's 45 years of continuous operation.[15] In 1945, shortly before the end of the war, the firm resumed as Tibbals, Crumley & Musson under the leadership of Todd Tibbals, Crumley and Noverre Musson.[16]

James A. Randall was born December 21, 1861, in Syracuse to James Randall, a contractor and builder, and Maria Randall, née Leddy. He was educated in the Syracuse public schools and in 1880 became an apprentice of local architect James H. Kirby. He then worked for West Shore Railroad architect John D. Fouquet, designing various buildings for the railroad on the route from Weehawken, New Jersey, to Buffalo. After its completion Randall returned to Syracuse and formed the partnership of Kirby & Randall with his old employer; their works included the Seattle residence of George Kinnear (1888, demolished). In 1888 Kirby formed a new partnership with Asa L. Merrick under the name of Merrick & Kirby; Randall's activities for the next three years are unknown. In 1891 Kirby chose to move downstate to New York City, leaving Merrick to form the partnership of Merrick & Randall with his former partner.

Hearthside

Smith was born in Smithfield in 1784 to Benjamin Smith and Mary Smith, née Tillinghast. He was named for Stephen Hopkins, his step-grandfather, who had served four terms as colonial governor and was a Founding Father. He was descended from John Smith, an original settler of Providence. When Smith was young his family moved to Providence, where he was educated.


After leaving school he entered the counting room of John Corlis (sometimes spelled Corliss), a successful merchant. After several years he began business as a merchant on his own account but soon

where he established the Smith Manufacturing Company,

In 1822 he began to be involved in the Blackstone Canal project and was appointed one of its commissioners. During construction one of the main investors, Edward Carrington, became interested in the water power possibilities of the Woonsocket Falls. In 1825 and 1826, with Smith acting as his agent, he bought land in the area for the construction of the Hamlet Mills. Smith, who the author of the History of Woonsocket warmly described as having "habits of thought and study [which] peculiarly unfitted him to be a successful manufacturer," continued as agent of the Hamlet Mills until 1842.[64]

History

Soon after the Providence Theatre closed in 1832, the need of a permanent theatre was felt. In 1838, several Providence businessmen formed a stock company and purchased a lot on Dorrance Street for a new theatre. Architect James C. Bucklin was chosen to design the new building. As soon as the project was announced, it was met with opposition. The City Council was petitioned to refuse to issue any liscenses for theatrical performances. This was supported by the congregation of the Second Baptist Church, across the street at the corner of Pine and Dorrance Streets, which found that a theatre nearby would "impair their rights as a Christian society."[86] Francis Wayland, president of Brown University, was also strongly opposed to the project.[87] However, the City Council rejected these, reserving the right to issue liscenses on a case by case basis. In October, when the building was nearly finished, it was leased to James Gaspard Maeder, who obtained a liscense to operate.[86]

The theatre was opened October 29, 1838, with performances of The Soldier's Daughter (Andrew Cherry, 1804) and A Pleasant Neighbour (Elizabeth Planché, 1836), with a preamble by Sarah Helen Whitman recited by actress Clara Fisher Maeder, wife of manager Maeder. The first season produced a small profit, but the second did not, and Maeder did not renew his lease after 1839. For the rest of its active life, the theatre's managers were not able to make it profitable, and when the 1844 season closed its future was doubt.[86] In fall of that year the building was occupied by George Haswell for the exhibition of the planetarium built by Dionysius Lardner and presentation of Lardner's lectures on astronomy. The morning of October 25, 1844, a fire of unknown origin destroyed the theatre, including Lardner's planetarium and all of the theatre equipment.[88] Only the stone walls were left standing. Due to difficulties with finances and neighbors, the stock company chose not to rebuilt and reopen the theatre. Though the theatre's life was short, a number of notable actors, actresses, dancers and singers performed on its stage. In addition to Clara Fisher, these included Junius Brutus Booth, Charlotte Cushman, Fanny Elssler, Edwin Forrest, Thomas S. Hamblin, Charles and Ellen Kean, Mary Shaw and John and Charlotte Vandenhoff, among others.[86]

Lardner in 1842[86]

Under the ownership of Tillinghast Almy, it was rebuilt for manufacturing uses, though from the exterior it appeared much as before, with pilasters, entablature and pediment still in place.[89] Openings were probably cut in the upper levels at this time.[85] In 1864, the building was purchased by A. & W. Sprague, the state's most successful textile manufacturers, who probably used the building as a warehouse. In 1873 the Spragues became insolvent, with their assets held up in litigation for many years. Construction of the neighboring building in 1883 necessitated the removal and reconstruction of the west wall, causing the westernmost pilaster to be mostly removed.[90] The warehouse was bought in 1890 by B. B. & R. Knight, textile manufacturers who bought many other Sprague properties.[85] The building was probably rebuilt during their ownership.[b] The entablature, pediment and roof were removed, and three additional stories were added, bringing the building to its current appearance. The Knights also connected to the building a small brick building on Orange Street. Like the Spragues, the Knights used the building as a warehouse. In 1903, it was leased by the Ballou, Johnson & Nichols Company, wholesale retailers. They bought the building outright in 1922. In 1977, after the company moved to Cranston, the building was sold to the Dorrance Associates.[85] The new owners renovated the building for offices, which it remains.

Architecture

As originally designed by Bucklin, Shakespeare Hall was a simple Greek Revival building. The lower level, which contained the entrance, was Granite. The remainder of the structure was built with a cheaper stone, which was covered with plaster scored to resemble Granite. Above the lower level, the facade was adorned with five Doric pilasters, which were topped with a simple entablature and pediment. The only other external ornament was a medallion bust of William Shakespeare,[86] which was removed at an unknown date. The architecture of the three upper levels is utilitarian, typical of period industrial architecture.[85]

The original interior was elaborately decorated. The auditorium, which could seat about 1,300, featured a dome, semi-circular gallery and two tiers of boxes. The decorative scheme was based on the signs of the zodiac, and was painted by a young George Heister, who would later be well known as a scenic artist in New York. The fronts of the boxes were also elaborately painted. All of this was destroyed by the fire. The interior of the rebuilt building was completely unornamented. At the time the building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places, it was bare except for supporting columns and a single brick bearing wall.[85] It is now conventional office space, though structural beams are still visible.

SD HATCH

Life and career

Stephen Dacatur Hatch was born February 16, 1839 in Swanton, Vermont.

As a teenager he came to New York, and in 1860 joined the office of John B. Snook, a noted architect of commercial buildings, as a draftsman. In 1864, he established his own office as an architect. After a few slow years in the immidiate aftermath of the Civil War, by the 1870s he had developed a succesful practice as a commercial architect, much like his former employer. He worked continuously as a private practitioner until his death.

The project was completed by Hatch's successors, McCabe & Wilkie in association with McKim, Mead & White.

Personal life

Hatch was married in 1889 to Eva Hilton Thrift of San Francisco.[1] They had one child, a daughter.

Elias Carter

Life and career

Elias Carter was born May 30, 1781 in Auburn, Massachusetts to Timothy Carter, a carpenter and builder, and Sarah (Walker) Carter. His father died in 1784 when he fell from a church he was building in Leicester. Sarah Carter moved the family to Greenwich before remarrying in 1790 to Nathaniel Haskell, a farmer, of Hardwick. Carter's education is not known, though his interest in architecture may have come from his father's papers, which included a copy of Batty Langley's The City and Country Builder's and Workman's Treasury of Designs of 1756. His education is otherwise unknown. In 1805 he built his first known church, at Brimfield. Two years later he married and settled in Brimfield, where they lived for eight years. In 1815 he was one of the incorporators of the Brimfield Cotton and Woolen Manufacturing Company at East Brimfield, and built its mill. This company quickly failed, and many of its investors, including Carter, were bankrupt. He then moved to Thompson, Connecticut, where he built the Thompson Congregational Church from a design by Ithiel Town. In 1818 he went to Putnam, to built another church, and returned to Massachusetts in 1819 when he was hired to build a church at Mendon. In 1820 he returned to Brimfield.


His father Timothy and uncle Benjamin were both builders and were in partnership as Carter & Carter. This ended in 1784, when Timothy Carter died following a fall from a church they were building in Leicester. Sarah Carter and her children first moved to Greenwich, the home of her father-in-law. About 1790 she remarried to Nathaniel Haskell of Hardwick, where they then moved and Elias Carter was raised. His education is not known, though he may have been drawn to architecture and building through Batty Langley's The City and Country Builder's and Workman's Treasury of Designs of 1756, a copy of which had been owned by his father. He may also have had some training in Georgia. About 1807 he settled in Brimfield, where he remained for eight years. In 1815 he was one of the incorporators of the Brimfield Cotton and Woolen Manufacturing Company at East Brimfield, and built its mill. This company quickly failed, and many of its investors, including Carter, were bankrupt. Later the same year he moved to Thompson, Connecticut, where he built the Thompson Congregational Church to a design by Ithiel Town of New Haven, a Thompson native. In 1818 he went to Putnam to build another church, and in 1819 returned to Massachusetts to build a church at Mendon. After the Mendon church was completed he may have returned to Brimfield. In 1828 he moved to Worcester, where he built much of his best-known work.[1][2]

Merwin Austin (1813-1890) was an American architect practicing in Rochester, New York, from 1844 to circa 1868.

Life and career

Merwin Austin was born in 1813 in Hamden, Connecticut to Daniel Austin and Adah (Dorman) Austin. He was a younger brother of Henry Austin.[1] His early education is unknown, but in 1837 when Henry Austin opened an architect's office in Hartford, he was joined by Merwin.[2] He followed him to New Haven in 1841, but in 1844 moved to Rochester to open his own office. He was among the first professional architects to settle in Rochester, preceded only by Daniel and Isaac Loomis.[1][3] In 1849 he took on as an apprentice Andrew Jackson Warner, his nephew. In 1855 they formed a partnership, Austin & Warner, which lasted until 1858. Austin continued to practice in Rochester for the next ten years, returning to New Haven circa 1868. In New Haven he again worked for his brother, from at least 1869 to 1872 and again in 1884.[4]

Personal life

Austin was married in 1851 to Almira Hayward.[5] They had one daughter, who died in childhood, and she died in 1857. Austin died April 22, 1890 in New Haven.[2]

Legacy

Austin adopted his brother's idiosyncratic Italianate style and developed it in Rochester, which can be seen in the Brewster and Osborne houses.[1]

Austin was the first architectural employer of two notable architects, Andrew Jackson Warner and John Rochester Thomas.[6] Two buildings designed by Austin have been listed on the United States National Register of Historic Places, and others contribute to listed historic districts.

GRECO

Charles R. Greco was born October 15, 1873 in Cambridge, Massachusetts to Letterio C. Greco and Catherine (Reggio) Greco,[1] natives of Messina and Genoa, respectively.[2] Greco was educated in the public schools, with supplementary courses in architecture at the Lawrence Scientific School of Harvard University. After leaving school he began working as a draftsman in Boston. In 1893, at the age of 19, he and a young architect, Ernest L. Condon, submitted plans for the new fire station at Lafayette Square in Cambridge. Despite their age and lack of experience, their design was accepted.[3] They completed the fire station and some other small work but dissolved their partnership in 1894.[4] Also in 1893 Greco had taken a job with the Wait & Cutter, a politically-connected firm of architects. When that firm was dissolved in 1897, he stayed on with successor Olin W. Cutter until 1899. That year he joined Peabody & Stearns, one of the Boston's leading architectural firms.[1] During his employment by Cutter and Peabody & Stearns, Greco continued to take independent work, mostly in Cambridge, including the Taylor Square Firehouse in 1904[5] and the Blessed Sacrament R. C. Church, announced just before he opened his own office in 1907.[6] After eight years with Peabody & Stearns, in March of 1907 he formally established his own practice, with offices at 8 Beacon Street in Boston.[7] During the 1920s he relocated his offices to 11 Beacon Street, where they remained until his retirement.

In 1915 Greco was appointed to the State Art Commission by Governor David I. Walsh for a five year term.[8] In 1920, he was appointed a second time by Governor Calvin Coolidge, and in 1924 he was chosen chair.[9] Designed markers for the Massachusetts Tercentenary Commission, 1930.

In 1917 Greco established a branch office in the Guardian Building in Cleveland, Ohio in association with Edward G. Reed, a Harvard-educated architect who had joined Greco's office in 1910.[10] Greco and Reed were associated in Cleveland for about twenty years, after which Reed opened his own office in Cleveland. George B. Mayer was also a member of the Cleveland office.[11]

During the administration of Mayor John W. Lyons of Cambridge, Greco was chosen architect for several municipal projects, most significantly the new Cambridge High and Latin School, completed in 1940. In November Robert F. Bradford, the District Attorney of Middlesex County announced charges of bribery against Lyons and Paul Mannos, a Brookline contractor who was associated on many Cambridge building projects. They were accused of soliciting and accepting bribes from architects and engineers, who would need to pay to win a job.[12] Greco admitted to paying $21,000 in bribes to Lyons and Mannos, about one third of the fees he received for his architectural work for the Lyons administration.[13] Lyons and Mannos were both found guilty and sentenced to prison, and although Greco did not face legal consequences, he was obliged to resign the chair of the State Art Commission.[14] In 1942 he and the other four architects were expelled from the American Institute of Architects,[a] which he had joined in 1915, on ethics grounds. He was ultimately readmitted in 1956. In 1960, due to his declining health, Greco retired from practice.[15]

OccupationArchitect

Adeline C. Kelley (1889-1972) was an American architect practicing in Bridgeport, Connecticut. She was one of the first woman architects to practice in Connecticut.

Life and career

Adeline C. Kelley was born February 19, 1889[1] in Southport, Connecticut to Thomas F. Kelley, a contractor and architect, and Mary Josephine (Otis) Kelley. She was educated in the schools of Southport and Bridgeport, to which the family moved in 1905. After moving to Bridgeport, Thomas F. Kelley practiced soley as an architect, and Adeline Kelley trained in his office. He died November 6, 1913, after which his daughter suceeded to the practice under the name A. C. Kelley.[2] From 1914 to 1916 she was assisted by J. Gerald Phelan, who would later become a noted architect in his own right.[3]

Except for a leave of absence during World War I, Kelley practiced architecture in Bridgeport until 1920. Her practice primarily consisted of houses and apartments in and around Bridgeport. Her largest work was the American Theatre, built in 1915 for theatre operator Martin W. Leighton. This was the first theatre building in the United States designed by a woman architect. Though in an altered state, this building still stands at 1126 East Main Street in Bridgeport.[4]

Personal life

Kelley was married in 1917 to George Stuart Brady, an engineer. Brady was then stationed at Rock Island in the ordnance department, and the couple briefly lived there during the war.[5] Following the war they returned to Bridgeport, where Adeline briefly resumed practice under the name Adeline K. Brady. In 1920 George S. Brady was appointed trade commissioner, and they traveled extensively in South American in the course of his work, with headquarters in Buenos Aires. In 1929 he published the first edition of the Materials Handbook, a reference book of industrial and building materials, which had a total of fifteen editions. Adeline was his assistant in the preparation of the first ten.[6] In 1933 they moved to Washington, DC where he became deputy administrator of the National Recovery Administration, and held several other government jobs in the ensuing decades.[7]

Adeline and George Brady had three children. Adeline Brady died April 24, 1972 in Washington,[1] followed by her husband August 11, 1977.[7]
