Letter from the General Chair
The 66th Annual Conference of the Society of Architectural
Historians will convene in April 2013 on the eastern shore of Lake
Erie in Buffalo, New York, a city that owes its initial prosperity to the
completion of the western extension of the Erie Canal in 1825. By
1900, Buffalo was the eighth-largest city in the United States and its
economic prosperity contributed to the creation of a rich and varied
architectural landscape. It is home to iconic buildings such as Frank
Lloyd Wrights Darwin Martin House and Adler & Sullivans Guaranty
Building, as well as the remarkable assemblage of grain elevators
celebrated by Reyner Banham in his book A Concrete Atlantis. Even
still, new icons are emerging, such as the 2009 Eleanor and Wilson
Greatbatch Pavilion, designed by Toshiko Mori, which is the Visitor
Center at the Darwin Martin House.
Masterpieces such as these, as well as others by Henry
Hobson Richardson and Eliel and Eero Saarinen, will be included in
the outstanding collection of tours organized by the local conference
planning committee for our edication and pleasure. These
architectural gems are set within the framework of Joseph Ellicotts
1804 radial street plan, which beginning in 1868 was overlaid with a
grand system of parks and parkways by Frederick Law Olmsted and
Calvert Vaux. Nearby are the wonders of Niagara Falls and the Arts
and Crafts community of Roycroft in East Aurora, New York.
The conference will kick off on Wednesday with the
SAH Buffalo Seminar (formerly the Historic Preservation Seminar),
which will celebrate the myriad institutions and organizations that
are working not only to save Buffalos rich architectural and cultural
landscape heritage but also to revitalize and green its neighborhoods.
Thursday morning witnesses the commencement of thirty-four paper
sessions and a graduate student lightning talk, which over the next
two and a half days focus on the architecture of Buffalo, as well as
that of the Middle Ages in Europe, Greek and Roman antiquity, and
the impact of the Modern movement on every continent on which our
membership now resides. Speakers will also share with usamong
other areas of inquirytheir work in the history of urban planning,
landscape and furniture design, industrialization, colonialism,
professionalization, and science. This year we are gratied to be able
to award more than eighteen travel fellowships to Annual Conference
speakers, who will be joining us from sixteen countries.
Thursday evening our awards ceremony and plenary
talk will take place in Buffalos magnicent Art Deco City Hall. Paul
Goldberger, Pulitzer Prizewinning author and contributing editor
at Vanity Fair magazine, will offer the plenary address on The Public
Responsibility of Architectural History in the Common Council
Chambers on the thirteenth oor. On Friday evening, we will be
offering a new event in the form of a PechaKucha, a novel format
in which speakers from Buffalo and SAH will present 20 images of
their work for just 20 seconds each. This will be held at Asbury Hall, a
former church that has been rehabilitated as a premier performance
space by Ani DiFranco. And Saturday we will end the conference
with a public presentation by a team of Ph.D. students from the Buell
Center, who will discuss the research they are undertaking on the life
and legacy of Frank Lloyd Wright in preparation for the joint acquisition
of his archives by Columbias Avery Library and MoMA.

I also have the privilege, as rst vice president, to
offer our profound thanks on behalf of the Society to the local
conference chairs, Despina Stratigakos and Tom Yots, and their
tireless committee. Their outstanding efforts to organize a rich
menu of tours, select meeting sites, and raise money to underwrite
our endeavors are to be congratulated. I also want to thank our
Executive Director, Pauline Saliga, and her outstanding staff,
Anne Bird, Bob Drum, Beth Eifrig, Kara Elliott-Ortega, Alexandra
Markiewicz, Jane Reilly, and last (alphabetically), but not least,
Kathy Sturm, as well as my colleagues on the Executive Committee
and Society Board of Directors.
It has been another very successful year for SAH. I
hope you have already visited our new website, which serves
as a valuable resource for information on architecture, design,
landscapes, and urbanism. SAHARA, the digital image archive
developed over the past four years by the Society of Architectural
Historians in collaboration with ARTstor, continues to grow. We
are pleased to be able to offer SAH Archipedia, our relatively new
publication that provides researchers with information on more
than eleven thousand buildings and sites drawn from the Buildings
of the United States series. Under the guidance of its Editor in Chief,
Karen Kingsley, the eighteenth volume in this series, Buildings
of Texas: Central, South, and Gulf Coast, will be on for sale in the
Annual Conferences book exhibition area, in order to entice you to
attend our 2014 Annual Conference in Austin, Texas.
While our expanding Internet connectivity is providing
SAH with a worldwide presence, it cannot replace the pleasure
of sharing architectural exploration, stories, and drinks with old
friends and new colleagues. We look forward to seeing all of you in
Buffalo in April!

Franklin Street
Welcome to Buffalo
Driven by a passion for experimentation and backed by
the wealth of new industries, Buffalos residents at the turn of the
twentieth century embraced the new in architectural and urban form.
From electried streets to green parkways, open house plans to grain
elevator technologies, Buffalos buildings and landscapes pushed
boundaries. Today, that same radical spirit nourishes the grassroots
organizations that, together with local government and business, are
redening the possibilities of the post-industrial city.
In 1804, on land purchased for the Holland Land Company,
Joseph Ellicott laid out a radial street plan for the village of New
Amsterdam. Ellicott, as agent for the Dutch rm, thus applied in this
Western New York settlement the lessons he had learned earlier in
his career while helping to survey Pierre LEnfants plan for the new
capital in Washington. The layout survived the villages burning in
the War of 1812, but rebuilding did not begin in earnest until the
western extension of the Erie Canal in 1825 made the city, renamed
Buffalo, a center for new transportation routes. The canal brought
prosperity and growth and Buffalo was soon the largest grain-
handling port in the world as well as the shipping gateway to the
west. The harnessing of electrical power at Niagara Falls in the 1870s
attracted new industries and fueled technological discoveries, such
as Willis Carriers Apparatus for Treating Air, known today as air-
conditioning. By the end of the nineteenth century, Buffalo was among
the wealthiest cities in the nation. Its successful bid to host the Pan
American Exposition in 1901 (to which we owe the Albright-Knox Art
Gallery, with its bejeweled collection of modern art) declared Buffalos
pride and condence to the world. So, too, did the citys investment in
architecture, from millionaires mansions on Delaware Avenue to the
soaring Art Deco City Hall.
In 1959, the opening of the St. Lawrence Seaway diverted
shipping from the Erie Canal, sapping the citys industrial lifeline. The
long and slow economic decline that followed, with its attendant
mass emigration of population, had one positive outcome: by way of
neglect and a lack of new construction, it helped to preserve the citys
4

5
older architectural stock. Today, as the city rebounds economically,
we are faced with the challenge of more actively conserving this
legacy. The SAH Buffalo Seminar (formerly the Historic Preservation
Seminar) will give voice to the many organizations that are working
not only to save buildings but also to revitalize neighborhoods and
create a sense of place. In Buffalo, historic preservation stands at
the center of a much larger project to foster economic and social
growth.
The broad and diverse range of tours offered will
highlight the citys unique architectural heritage. In-depth tours
will uncover little-known aspects of Buffalos Modernist icons,
including the Darwin Martin House, Guaranty Building, Buffalo
Psychiatric Center, grain silos, and Kleinhans Music Hall, among
others. Additionally, you will have the chance to encounter histories
found in few architectural textbooks. Focusing on the historically
African American East Side, we will visit the buildings of the citys
abolitionist past. Our lunchtime tour of the newly restored Lafayette
Hotel will pay homage to Buffalos Louise Bethune, who in 1888
became the rst woman architect to join the American Institute of
Architects.
Venturing beyond the citys limits, we will explore
the William Morrisinspired Roycroft community in East Aurora,
architectural terra cotta manufacturing in Orchard Park, and Frank
Lloyd Wrights designs on the shores of Lake Erie. We will also
travel to a source of Buffalos early greatness in our tour of the
history of electricity at Niagara Falls. While the Falls are better
known these days as a tourist destination or venue for daredevil
stunts, the area continues to host heavy industry and to grapple
with its consequences, as the demolished Love Canal neighborhood
reminds us through its phantom presence.
Today, Buffalo shares with other rust belt cities the
challenge of coping with the enormous economic and social shifts
that accompanied the loss of large-scale manufacturing. Yet while
many other post-industrial cities see the solution in shrinking,
Buffalo sees it in rethinking. One of our tours considers how the
abundance of inexpensive housing has fostered experiments
with new ways of living, from eco to art houses. Another tour will
showcase how urban farming gives inner-city residents access to
healthy, fresh food. And as these neighborhoods grow greener, we
also nd ourselves rethinking the relationship of the natural to the
urban.
At rst glance, it may seem that Buffalo today is not
the Buffalo of Louise Bethune, Frank Lloyd Wright, Louis Sullivan,
Frederic Law Olmsted, or Eero Saarinen. But look again: even
as it changes, the city holds true to the mind-set that fostered
their innovations. Buffalo invites you to explore the citys rich
architectural and urban heritage, while also joining in the
discussions of how we draw on a larger legacy of experimentation
in reimagining our future.

The Sustainable Post-Industrial City:
Using Our Architectural Legacy for New Growth
and New Vitality
Buffalo began as a city of innovation, a place of
experimentation and risk-taking, and today that legacy points us in
new directions of growth. The SAH Buffalo Seminar considers historic
preservation as a broad strategy that unites many players in urban
revitalization, from community activists to nonprot organizations,
private developers, architects and planners, City Hall, and the State
Historic Preservation Ofce. Moving beyond historic preservation
as a purely academic or market-driven endeavor, participants in the
seminar will consider preservation through the lenses of long-term
urban, cultural, and economic sustainability.

Shaping Buffalos Architectural History
Jack Quinan, Professor Emeritus, University at Buffalo
Jack Quinan will focus upon the architectural historians
who have, since the 1910s, dened the citys architecture through
a variety of approaches that include the connoisseurship of Henry
Russell Hitchcock, Reyner Banhams fascination with industrial
Buffalo, conventional monographic studies of Richardson, Vaux,
Olmsted, and Wright by Francis R. Kowsky and Jack Quinan,

respectively, and the vernacular and activist currents led by
Elizabeth Cromley, Lynda Schneekloth, historian Mark Goldman,
and others. Collectively these historians have played a vital role in
making Buffalo an important site for architectural tourism, worthy,
at last, of an annual conference of the SAH.
Jack Quinan, Distinguished Service Professor Emeritus,
University at Buffalo, studied architectural history under Hugh
Morrison at Dartmouth College and William Jordy at Brown
University. Since coming to Buffalo in 1975, he has written three
books and numerous articles on Frank Lloyd Wright, initiated the
Frank Lloyd Wright Building Conservancy, and served as curator
and member of the board of directors of the Darwin Martin House
Restoration Corporation during its long campaign to restore the
Darwin Martin House Complex.

Writing Architectural Histories: Vernacular
and Avant-Garde
The avant-garde as a category in architectural
historiography has been constructed around notions of newness and
the complete break with norms. It has also inuenced the mostly
Western notion of the author. It therefore stands in obvious opposition
to the localized, omnipresent, and non-authoritativein other words,
the vernacularwhich evolves over time. Architectural historians
in the twentieth century, as well, have used the two concepts to
differently narrate the past, drawing on distinct sources and methods
according to their type of study: avant-garde or vernacular history.
But are the two really so antagonistic? Wasnt, for
example, the modern architectural avant-garde in particular, despite
the claim of breaking with all historical tradition, fascinated with the
quotidian and sought precedents in the architecture of the everyday,
both rural and urban? And now that modern architecture has fully
proliferated, mustnt this same avant-garde be seen in a wholly new
light? Is it possible that the boundaries have fully blurred or that they
are no longer useful?
In this graduate student roundtable, we will discuss
archival sources, precedents, agents, and perspectives in writing
avant-garde and vernacular architectural history. We will try to distill
modalities of working, ranging from the use of images and plan
materials to how historians choose to narrate their stories. We will
also question if architectural historians may follow larger trends in
the humanities in which scholars move uidly between these two
aspects of writing history and ultimately which new categories such
scholarship might yield today.

The Public Responsibility of Architectural History
Paul Goldberger, Joseph Urban Chair in Design and

Paul Goldberger will explore the public role of architectural

that is, urging advocacy, or perhaps expressing concern that advocacy
could compromise an academics position. We invite you to come and
listen to what Mr. Goldberger has found.
Paul Goldberger, whom the Hufngton Post has called the
leading gure in architecture criticism, is now a Contributing Editor
at Vanity Fair. From 1997 through 2011 he served as the Architecture

Cost: $10; a cash bar will be available.
PechaKucha Night was devised by Klein Dytham
architecture (Tokyo) in February 2003 as an event for young designers
to meet, network, and show their work in public. It has turned into
a massive celebration, with events happening in hundreds of cities
around the world, inspiring creatives worldwide. Drawing its name
from the Japanese term for the sound of chitchat, it rests on a
presentation format that is based on a simple idea: 20 images x 20
seconds. Its a format that makes presentations concise, and keeps
things moving at a rapid pace. Join us as four architects from the
Buffalo design community and four SAH conference attendees present
new work at this fast-paced event.

L.A. Constructs the
Future, 19401990
Edited by Wim de Wit and
Christopher James Alexander
From 1940 to 1990, Los Angeles
rapidly evolved into one of the
most populous and influential
industrial, economic, and creative
capitals in the world. During this
era, the region was transformed
into a laboratory for cutting-edge
architecture. This volume exam-
ines these experiments and their
impact on modern design, reframes
the perceptions of Los Angeless
dynamic built environment, and
amplifies the exploration of the
citys vibrant architectural legacy.
The related exhibition will be held
at the J. Paul Getty Museum from
April 9 to July 21, 2013.

volume accompanies an exhibition
titled In Focus: Ed Ruscha, on view

the Getty Center from April 9 to
September 29, 2013.

When All of Rome Was Under Construction
The Building Process in Baroque Rome
Dorothy Metzger Habel
In When All of Rome Was Under Construction, Dorothy Metzger Habel
considers the politics and processes involved in building the city of Rome
during the baroque period. Whereas she, like many historians of the peri-
od, had previously focused on the grand schemes of patronage, Habel
now reconstructs the role of the public voice in the creation of the city.
Habel presents the case that Romes built environment was not simply
the result of the vision of the patron and the architect, and that buildings
and spaces were not simply imposed upon the citys populace.

TR18 Adler & Sullivans Guaranty Building
The Guaranty Building was Adler & Sullivans last
collaboration; Adler withdrew from the rm as the building
was under construction. Opened in 1896, it is recognized as
one of Sullivans best works and an outstanding example of his
innovations. While similar to his 1890 Wainwright Building, which
combines masonry with terra cotta for ornament, the Guaranty
Building makes ornament the focus through the use of terra cotta
to cover two full exterior surfaces. In 2006, Hodgson Russ began
an extensive two-year renovation project that included a complete
renovation of the interior; painstaking repair and restoration of art
glass and other external features; and a restoration of the lobby
that simulates the original light court. In 2008, the rm began
renovations to the buildings distinctive terra cotta faade. The
rms renovations complement rather than compete with Sullivans
design, resulting in a building that looks forward to a bright
business future in Buffalo while respecting the proud history of both
the building and the city it calls home. This tour will walk from the
Convention Center (BNCC) to the Guaranty Building for a guided tour
of the exterior, lobby, and second oor.

role. We bring together people in the general public, scholars,
independent scholars, and people who are themselves architects
to talk about the history of architecture in order to think in new
ways about decisions that will be made in the present day about
architecture around the world.
Gwendolyn Wright, Professor of Architecture, Columbia
University; 2012 SAH Fellow; Host, History Detectives
on PBS
The Journal of the Society of Architectural Historians
is the publication of record for the discipline of the history of
architecture, urbanism, and the built environment. Its in the SAH
that the conversations take place and the connections take place.
Theres a kind of shared interest and shared purpose that make it
really magical.
Barry Bergdoll, Philip Johnson Chief Curator of
Architecture and Design, Museum of Modern Art,
NY; former President of the Society of Architectural
Historians; Professor of Architectural History,
Department of Art History and Archaeology, Columbia
University
And so having multimedia content, along with those
scholarly articles, is just another way of ramping up the level of
the content thats there. I feel condent that SAH is going to keep
innovating and keep on the cutting edge.
Dianne Harris, Director, Illinois Program for Research in
the Humanities; Professor, Department of Landscape
Architecture, Architecture, Art History, and History,
University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign; former
President of the Society of Architectural Historians
Together with SAHARA and the digitization of the
Buildings of the United States, and the expansion of that into SAH
Archipedia, SAH is leading the world in developing integrated
systems of scholarly communication.
David Brownlee, Frances Shapiro-Weitzenhoffer
Professor, Chair of the Graduate Group in the History of
Art, University of Pennsylvania; former Editor in Chief,
JSAH
I think by developing new models of content contribution
within SAH Archipedia we can, in fact, capture the excellent
scholarship that a younger generation is doingusing the building
histories as a way of contributing new scholarship.
Gabrielle M. Esperdy, Associate Professor of
Architecture, New Jersey Institute of Technology; Editor,
SAH Archipedia
