CP and the U of D. Parducci produced a large cartouche over the main entrance of a library as well as a few other decorations on the building. A dove can be seen in this picture, and there are more of that sort of thing. More interesting and problematic are the earlier ones, I think 1925 buildings done by maybe Malcomson and Higgenbotham in sort of a Spanish style.
Parducci worked on "Educational Buildings" that year, but (original research - if it drives you crazy DO NOT READ ON) were those the ones? I'm always looking for a second opinion. Carptrash 22:40, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
- I don't know much at all about architectural styles, but I always was struck by, like you say, the Spanish looking roofs on alot of UDM buildings. I added these pics to the article for the school since it had no pictures and could use the two above. It's possible I might get around to getting a few pics of the clock tower there, but for now, these are an improvement. --Mikerussell 04:12, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] That is a very interesting box
at the bottom of the article, but not all the folks mentioned, locals and visitors, were architectural sculptors. MCP Stratton for sure was not, Herbert Adams too, and even DC French - tho he did do architectural sculpture, did not, I think, do any in Detroit. However I'd rather leave it as is rather than annoy someone by making heavy handed edits. Any thoughts? Carptrash (talk) 18:37, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
