    Palladin likely s/b Palladian.
  • The Library of Congress said:
    Right you are! The caption in the original Detroit Publishing Company catalog from 1905 says "Palladin," but the Wikipedia entry for this school includes a picture of the bridge described as "The Palladian bridge and lake that it spans were added in 1755," en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prior_Park_College -- Helena
  • Art Siegel said:
    Separate Wikipedia entry for the house, a significant one in the history of architecture, which was named Prior Park, as in the caption on the print above:
    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prior_Park
    Separate Wikipedia entry on the garden, which is the prototypical "English Garden"

    This is one of those rare places that looks pretty much the same now as in the 1890's:

Anna Pendleton Schenck (LOC)

from The Library of Congress

  • pennylrichardsca (now at ipernity) said:
    Anna Pendleton Schenck (d. 1915) was an architect in New York; she and Marcia Mead founded an architecture firm together just a few years before Schenck's passing. The New York Times snarked in its headline that "GIRL ARCHITECTS ORGANIZE A FIRM....Houses They Design Will Have Plenty of Closets." In March 1915, Schenck & Mead won a design competition sponsored by the City Club of Chicago, with their plans for a neighborhood center in the Bronx. Later that year, Miss Schenck died from pneumonia at New York Hospital, age 41. Her obituary says she was born in Brooklyn, daughter of Rev. Noah Hunt Schenck (1825-1885), rector at St. Ann's Protestant Episcopal Church of Brooklyn; that she was one of the first women to earn a degree at Columbia University; and that she studied architecture in Paris, under Aubretin.

    The (now) Old Nassau County Courthouse (built: 1902) on Old Country Road in Mineola. Here it is today with far smaller trees and no more ivy:
  • Arden said:
    TVL 1970: Thanks for identifying the full name of this building. We will add it to the image description.
