	75th Anniversary - Commercial and Institutional Designs by the Horace Trumbauer Architectural Firm (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-28)
		Although architect Horace Trumbauer forged his reputation at the end of the nineteenth century with his grand homes for wealthy financiers and industrialists, he and his staff of designers also planned numerous other types of structures.
		Trumbauer and his long-time chief designer Julian Abele, who completed the firm's work at Duke after Trumbauer's death in 1938, planned the east campus in the Georgian style between 1925 and 1927 and the west campus in the Gothic style between 1926 and 1939.
		Trumbauer built two major buildings, the Georgian style Public Ledger Building (1923), a headquarters for the important daily newspaper, at Sixth and Chestnut Streets and the enormous Ben Franklin Hotel (1925) at Ninth and Chestnut Streets.

	Julian Abele - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Trumbauer sent Abele to Paris to study at the École des Beaux Arts, from which he graduated in 1906.
		Abele's role in the firm of Horace Trumbauer was neither a well-kept secret nor a well-publicized fact.
		Reflecting on his hidden influence, Abele once remarked upon seeing his design of the Free Library in Philadelphia that "the lines are Trumbauer's but the shadows are all mine." Abele died on April 23, 1950, after designing the Allen Administration Building at Duke University, a site he never visited due to segregation.

	New York Architecture Images- Horace Trumbauer
		Born in the Frankford section of Philadelphia in 1868, Horace Trumbauer quit school at age fourteen to enter the architecture profession as an errand boy at G. and W. Hewitt's prominent Philadelphia firm.
		Trumbauer erected Chelten House, a half-timber Elizabethan mansion, in 1896 for George W. Elkins, the son of the family patriarch.
		Trumbauer died in 1938, but his office, under its head designer, Julian Abele, lasted until the 1950's, although the market for grand French-style houses was by that time extremely lean.

	Trumbauer, Horace (1868 - 1938) -- Philadelphia Architects and Buildings
		It is apparent from this list that Trumbauer was not confined to the Philadelphia area, but instead he sought and successfully claimed wealthy clients from all across the country, often beginning with residential work for them, but then expanding into designs for their philanthropic ventures.
		Following Abele's admission to the firm in 1906 and Seeburger's departure in 1909, Trumbauer's designs emphasized French 17th and 18th-century detail and style more often, and it was also during this time that he formed working relationships with both Jacques Greber and Carlhian et Fils, the French interior design firm.
		Perhaps due to professional envy in the Philadelphia community, Trumbauer never received medals of achievement from the Philadelphia Chapter of the AIA, but he was the recipient of an honorary M.A. in Architecture from Harvard University in 1915 and the First Prize awarded at the Third Pan American Congress of Architects in 1927.

		Fiske Kimball, the director of the Philadelphia Museum of Art, which was designed by Trumbauer's firm in collaboration with Zantzinger, Borie and Medary, appreciated Abele as Trumbauer's "right-hand man and designer." Collaborating closely with his employer, the "brilliant and witty" Abele once stated that the "lines are all Mr.
		Trumbauer's, but the shadows are all mine." Although, as Valentine Burkhart Lee, an architect on the Trumbauer staff, reported, Abele's "race was never discussed or thought about in the firm," the talented designer did in fact remain in the shadows outside the firm.
		Trumbauer was heard to say "I hire my brains." In truth Abele was too valuable to have away from the firm.

		Born in 1868 in moderate circumstances in suburban Philadelphia, Horace Trumbauer went to work at 14 for the architects George and William Hewitt.
		In 1890, Trumbauer opened his own office, an ambitious step for a 21-year-old; one of his first projects was a jail in Jenkintown, Pa. He began designing upper-middle-class houses for suburban developers, and in 1893 got a break that defined his later career.
		In 1909, George J. Gould, son of the financier Jay Gould, finished a Trumbauer house on the northeast corner of 67th Street and Fifth Avenue; this has also been replaced, although some of the balcony ironwork was reused as a decorative touch on the apartment building that replaced it.

		Horace Trumbauer ran the business side of his large Philadelphia-based office, leaving building design toothers.
		James B. Duke's rise from a poor North Carolina farm boy to capitalist entrepreneur epitomizes the phenomenon of the self-made man. Duke's fortune was derived from tobacco; he was the founder and president of the American Tobacco Company and several related firms that together virtually monopolized the industry.
		The changes may appear simple, but few architects have possessed Trumbauer's ability to achieve a design that is both fitting for a New York street and superior to the original source of inspiration.

		The poetry of Horace (born 65 BC) is richly varied, its focus moving between public and private concerns, urban and rural settings, Stoic and Epicurean thought.
		David Mankin's introduction and commentary examines all aspects of Horace's relationship with his models and of the technical accomplishment of his verse, and places the Epodes firmly in their literary and historical context while also giving help with linguistic problems.

	Chateau Crillon, 19103, Philadelphia County PA (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-28)
		As with most tall buildings of the period the underlying structural steel frame is suggested by the height, while the walls remaind a continuous surface to be embellished according to the tastes of the client and the architect.
		For the Chateau Crillon, the architect, Horace Trumbauer, used a rough textured yellow brick as the principla material with limestone detail emphasizing the corners, set backs and framing the decorative openings of the building's base.
		The Chateau Crillon is significant as a distinguished design by one of Philadelphia's foremost architects, Horace Trumbauer, and is urbanistically important as one of a group of high rise spines that crowded around Rittenhouse Square in the 1920s making it the principal Philadelphia locus of period Art Deco.

		When he returned to Philadelphia in 1906, Warren “Popsy” Laird, dean of Penn’s architecture program, brought Abele to the attention of Horace Trumbauer, an architect whose firm was known for creating residential palaces for local industrialists and businessmen.
		What is clear is that Trumbauer, who bootstrapped his way up through apprenticeship, voracious reading and fortuitous connections, and Abele, the formally educated, classically trained fl patrician, complemented each other.
		Trumbauer had opened his firm in 1890, when he was just 21.

		Architect and native son Horace Trumbauer’s residential work is profiled in “American Splendor,” and Philadelphia's grand old suburb is examined in “The Main Line.
		One of the best-known examples of Trumbauer’s residential work is The Elms in Newport, Rhode Island, but his work can also be found at some of the toniest addresses on Long Island, the Philadelphia suburbs, and beyond.
		Although often criticized as being derivative and uninventive, author Michael C. Kathrens effectively argues that Trumbauer’s commitment to the purity of the classical revival vernacular, as well as the authenticity of his interpretation of the European great house, are ultimately his greatest strengths.

		In recent years, the question of who did what at the Trumbauer firm has become a matter of sometimes contentious debate between those who say Abele designed nearly every important building the firm produced after 1909 and those who claim that all the credit belongs to Trumbauer himself.
		No records describe the workings of the design process at the Trumbauer office, but in firms of the day there would typically be three principals with complementary skills: a rainmaker to drum up business, a designer and someone who turned concepts into blueprints.
		By the mid-1930s, the once-thriving practice was reduced to a critical trio: Trumbauer, Abele and Frank.
