		Introduction to Julia Morgan's early Bay Area houses. ^Votes:0 Introduction to Julia Morgan's early Bay Area houses After taking and passing the state certification examination in architecture in 1904, Morgan was ready to start her own practice. By 1905 she had opened her first office. (When it was destroyed in the 1906 earthquake, she relocated in the Merchant's Exchange Building , the only building designed in the West by Chicago architect Daniel H. Burnham.) Although Morgan devoted much of her professional career to designing domestic architecture, many of her early commissions were for middle-class houses to be built on small suburban lots. With the suburban expansion in the East Bay, she had a ready source for commissions. Typically these houses are understated, unobtrusive elements in the landscape. Several influences converge in these early hou Read More Go to Site

		The Stephen Decatur House Muesum - A National Trust Historic Site ^Votes:0 Decatur House is one of the oldest surviving homes in Washington, DC, and one of only three remaining residential buildings in the country designed by Benjamin Henry Latrobe, the father of American architecture.

Waitsfield is almost precisely at the geographical center of the state of Vermont, and tradition has it that the commissioners to locate the state capital "struck their stake" (almost precisely) where the village now stands. But General Wait declared "he wouldn't have his meadow cut up" and so he saved the town from that honor." Rev. Fiske's description of 1882 Waitsfield - "white cottages are to be seen on either side of the valley, and about there are plenty of the evidence of thrift and comfort...
