Election to the Hall of Fume of Charles Bulfinch, “the first Araerican. architect,” is urged by the board of directors of the American Institute of Architects. The board has sent to each elector of the Hall of Fame an exhaus- tive summary of the achievements of Bulfinch, who is described as a states- man as well as an architect. “Few architects of today can boast of & list of such notable buildings as those designed by Bulfinch,” says the board in its plea. “Bulfinch’s record as a selectman during the formative period of Boston is of such an outstanding that this record alone should make him eligible as a states- man for a place in the Hall of Fame.” Bulfinch was born at Bowdoin Square, Boston, August 8, 1763, the son of Dr. ‘Thomas Bulfinch and Susan Apthorp ‘| Bulfinch, He died April 15, 1844, Graduate of Harvard. Bulfinch studied at the Latin School and entered Harvard College in 1778, raduating in 1781. Entering the count- ing room of Joseph Barrell, Esq., he be- came interested in architegture by at- tending to improvements of Mr. Bar- s | T€ll's estate and of alterations to his; father's and friends’ houses. ;2 About the time he became of age his parents received a legacy of £200 from an uncle, George Apthorp. This was given to Charles Bulfinch for a visit to Europe. Leaving Boston in June, 1785, he went to London and then to Paris, Bordeaux, Marseille, Antibes, Genoa, Pisa, Rome, Florence, Narma, Milan and Lyon. Most of the time was spent in study~ AN INSPECTION OF .THIS HOME Will Convince Y'ou That 1t Is the Best . Value in the City for the Price y Sample Home 5923 dth ST. N.W.
