	Kykuit, the Rockefeller Estate / Historic Hudson Valley
		Beginning in 1926, as general secretary of the French-American Committee for the Restoration of Historic Monuments, Bosworth supervised the restoration of the palaces of Versailles and Fontainebleau and the cathedrals at Rheims and Chartres, projects all funded in large measure by John D. Rockefeller, Jr.
		Bosworth's use throughout the garden of roughly cut stones and boulders is consistent with the traditional rustic aesthetic of a country garden; a city garden would have demanded finely cut stonework.
		Bosworth's goal was both to maintain and enhance the river view and to create an accessible garden with many and varied walks on which visitors and family might enjoy nature transformed.

	The Battle of Bosworth Field 1485
		Four years after Bosworth, the Earl was murdered during a tax revolt, killed by northerners who "'bore a deadly malice against him for the disappointing of King Richard at Bosworth Field'".
		Bosworth Field was the penultimate act of the interminable Wars of the Roses.
		According to William Burton, a local 17th century historian, the battle was christened "Bosworth" after the most notable town in its vicinity, much in the same way the Battle of Agincourt got its name from a nearby castle.

	Battle of Lose-coat Field - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Welles started gathering armed forces at his base in Lincolnshire, ready for a show of arms against the King.
		Due to Welles’ voluntary misinterpretation, rumors were quickly spread that the King was coming to try the formally pardoned rebels from Edgecote, and that he would ‘hang and draw a great number’ of them.
		Sir Robert Welles received a letter from the King telling him to disband his rebel army, or his father (a prisoner in Edward’s camp) would be executed.

	UPNE - Designing MIT: Mark M. Jarzombek
		Based largely on the recommendation of John D. Rockefeller Jr., the commission was awarded to MIT and the École des Beaux-Arts-trained architect William Welles Bosworth, known for his ATandT Building in Manhattan, and Kykuit, the Rockefeller mansion in Tarrytown, New York.
		Though Bosworth’s considerable social and political finesse enabled him to land the commission and balance varied competing interests, he found his classically oriented vision challenged by engineer John Freeman, proponent of Frederick W. Taylor’s new principle of Scientific Management.
		Wrought with artistic clashes, bureaucratic tangles, and contemporary politics, Designing MIT sheds light on the academic culture in the early twentieth century, the role of patronage in the world of architecture, and the history of the Beaux-Arts style in the United States.

		William Wells Bosworth, one of the most well-respected architects of his day, designed 195 Broadway as ATandT's corporate headquarters in 1913.
		Bosworth was so finicky about matching the marble, a special representative was sent to the quarries and tons of marble were rejected.
		Bosworth's inspiration for 195 Broadway's exterior was a Roman structure erected by Septimius Severus which contained seven stories of columns.

		W. Welles Bosworth designed a master plan for the Main Campus of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) nearly a century ago using the goals and principles established by the university corporation: to provide a sense of institutional unity and flexible mixed use befitting a highly interdisciplinary school.
		The master plan, landscape and architecture of the main group of buildings formed interconnected and adaptable structures and spaces that have endured the test of time and continue to encourage interaction across disciplines and form a community of learning envisioned by MIT's founder William Barton Rogers.
		Since the implementation of Bosworth's plan, the MIT campus has expanded extensively to the east and west along the Charles River to encompass 154 acres, 1.2 miles of river frontage and 100 + buildings.

		Welles Bosworth, its architect, designed the lobby as a forest of 43 giant marble columns, notable in their Doric simplicity, one of the great commercial interiors of the city.
		American Architect magazine noted that this emphasis on simplicity extended to the smallest details: ''There are no manufacturers' names to be seen anywhere in the building, not even in the elevators.
		Bosworth worked extensively for the Rockefeller family -- he designed Kykuit, their Westchester estate -- and in 1924 moved to France to supervise the Rockefeller-financed restoration of Versailles.

		Freeman was angered by Maclaurin's choice of Bosworth as chief architect, expecting the result to be an incoherent, inefficient mélange of structures typical of many contemporary campuses.
		In fact, while Bosworth's design added a good deal of the sort of neoclassical ornamentation as was popular at the time, the interior layout remained true to Freeman's manifesto, and has remained a model (lately honored more in the breach than in the observance) for construction on the MIT campus to this day.
		Bosworth's design was drawn so as to admit large amounts of light through exceptionally large windows on the first and second floors, many internal windows -- not only on office doors but above door-level, and skylights over huge stairwells.

	Technology Review: Fusion of Form and Function
		The cohesive blend of artistic and scientific design, however, gives no hint of the political hurdles on the road to choosing an architect, the personal and stylistic clashes that arose between architect and engineer, and the economic setbacks that plagued the process along the way.
		“Bosworth had a good reputation, but he had never designed anything this big.” At the time, Bosworth was best known for his design of the ATandT building in New York.
		Although Bosworth and Freeman had vastly different ideas of what the campus should look like (Freeman favored function over form, whereas Bosworth was more concerned with bringing out the aesthetic elements of the design), it was these opposing opinions that make this story so interesting.

		He first went to New York City, where, at age 20, he was employed by Carrere & Hastings; however, his design and rendering abilities had already brought him some recognition; and he received an invitation from Emmanuel L. Masqueray, on the recommendation of W.

		Architect William Welles Bosworth (see references at Kykuit) was employed in 1907 to design the beaux arts garden with follies, fountains, reflecting pools and the Grecian Garden where Isadora Duncan danced.
		William Welles Bosworth did not have the most agreeable of clients in John Rockefeller, Sr.

		His memorial, which is located directly in front of the Custis-Lee Mansion, was designed by Welles Bosworth and its top features an engraving of L'Enfant's design for the City of Washington.
		It means we'll have to make a subtle if telling attitude adjustment, thinking of L'Enfant not as a Frenchman who did brilliant work in America but as a brilliant American who was born in France.
		L'Enfant's expansive vision for the new republic, so evident in his Washington plan, was expressed as well in a 1784 message he sent to Congress, advocating a corps of engineers in the American military.
