Was Kenneth Dalzell Maplewoods Most Prolific Architect? archived

Eisenman's family lived on Conway Court,S.O. He is a world famous architect but he didn't design any homes here.
The exhibit is worth a visit to Durrand-Hedden. It's very well done and well-researched, and gives an interesting perspective on the history of our town, even if you don't find your house on the (rather large) list of houses designed by Mr. Dalzell.
Eisenman was Maplewood's WORST architect. And after watching that video, the most pompous too!
Thanks to Susan and the wonderful researchers at Durand-Hedden for putting together a wonderful exhibit. It was so well done. What fun to learn more about our homes!
Due to my son's perception, I'm inclined to believe that my street is named after KENneth DALzell. KEN DALzell designed approximately 90% of the homes on KENDAL Ave.
Nice exhibit.
Nice exhibit.
Thank you all for your good words. "Kenneth Dalzell: A Maplewood Architect Rediscovered" has been a fascinating research project shedding new light on Maplewood's development as an early 20th century suburb. So far over 180 buildings designed by Dalzell have been identified. The data collected will continue to grow. A web site for Durand-Hedden will be launched soon (finally!) for our organization and we intend to make the list available there.
