	introduction
		Wirt Clinton Rowland was born to Clinton Charles and Melissa Ruth Rowland on December 1, 1878.
		Rowland attended Clinton Public Schools, and was active in his family’s church, the First Congregational Church of Clinton, where his natural musical talents were developed as he sang in the choir, learned to play the organ, and was involved in many concerts and recitals.
		Rowland combined this with polychromed terra cotta and brightly glazed Pewabic Tile, and as a result the exterior of the building is ablaze in texture and color.

	Skyscraper exhibit celebrates Wirt Rowland - UrbanPlanet.org
		Wirt Rowland was a warm-hearted man of humor and intelligence, but he did have his quirks.
		So he designed the bold brick and tile designs on the exterior of the Guardian not to be viewed up close at leisure, as a pedestrian might, but as oversized bold shapes to be glimpsed from a passing vehicle.
		One of the tragedies of Rowland's career is that the Depression cut short almost all construction work for more than a decade.
