A ’ REAL PROJECT WILL AID 2000 DRAFTSMEN Survey of 24 'Ou_!standing Georgian Type Mansions in U. S. Announced. A survey of twenty-four outstanding Georgian style mansions in the United States, all built prior to 1830, was an- nounced today by Willlam Lawrence Bottomley of New York, chairman of & special committee of the New York Chapter of the American Institute of Architects and the Architectural League of New York. ‘The project, which is self-liquidating, is designed to contribute to the relief of more than 2,000 unemployed drafts- men, according to Mr. Bottomley. The study, he declared, will incorporate photographs of exteriors and interiors \ on a large scale in addition to exact measured drawings of the exteriors, special rooms, details, first floor plans and garden plans. “These,” he said “are being carefully drawn up by selected draftsmen under the direction of the Architects’ emerg- ency Committee, providing occupation | and remuneration to many of those out of work at this time of distress.” Publication Assured. ‘The survey includes the Gardner Ladd House, Portsmouth, N. H; the Van Rensselaer house, Albany, N. Y.; Hyde Hall, Cooperstown, N. Y.; Mount Pleasant, Fairmont Park, Philadelphia; Whitehall, Maryland; Mount Vernon, George Washington's home in Virginia; Mount Airy, Stratford, Va., and Bray- ton Hall, on the Ashley River, South Carolina. ~ Mr. Bottomley pointed out that pub- lication of the survey by the Archi- tects’ Emergency Committee under the name of Great Georgian House of America” already had been assured through the advance subscription of more than 100 persons interested in the study. | ~“The entire profits,” he added, “will be devoted to the relief of the unem- ployed draftsmen, of whom we have 2,000, drawn from every State in the Union. We feel that this volume should be in every library in the country as an Hlustration of the best of the Georgian period of architecture in this country. Project Self-Liguidating. “The survey will correlate all of the different parts of each subject and give @ very clear picture of life in those times. Not only photographs showing the appearance of exteriors and in- teriors, but also exact details of them, showing how the effects were accom- plished, will be included. In addition there will be landscape setting showing Toads, forecourts, terraces, gardens, parterres and general orientation. “This project will be self-liquidating. ‘The money realized from advance sub- scriptions will actually recompense ar- chitectural draftsmen in the making of the measured drawings.” In addition to Mr. Bottomley the committee includes Richard Henry Dana, jr., of New York, William Emer- son of Boston, R. T. H. Halsey, Julian Peabody, John Mead Howells of New York, Lawrence Grant White of New. York, Fiske Kimball, director of the Pennsylvania Museum of Art, Phila- delphia, and Everett V. Meeks, dean of the School of Fine Arts, Yale Univer- sity, New Haven, Conn. Cornelius J. ‘White of New York is secretary-treas- i urer of the committee.
