I see comments above from Einar Einarsson Kvaran. I would like to contact you about your Annotated Inventory of Outdoor Sculpture in Washtenaw County. I am writing a book of stories told by military chaplains and I’d like to verify material that is said to come from that document about The Four Chaplains. If you see this, please contact me! Thank you.

I am current student attending Lehigh University, and it is sad as a resident of Newark , that it suffers such a bad stereotype despite it’s potential.

I was an instuctor at the Newark School In the early 60′s and 70′s. It was always a majestic building. The sculpture room was in the sub basement and it had many little nooks that just wanted to be explored. Wonderful memories, beautiful murals and architecture.

Dunno, but I do love those relief panels. Sadly they are all but ignored now.

So I wondr if Keck did the Essex Co Girls’ School too? That work sort of reminds me of another Keck, in Scranton PA that is the insdie of a coal miner’s home – with a pet dog instead of cat, but similar. Thanks for the STONE picture, and if you have other tips about architectural sculpture I am definately up for them.

Einar- The only other sculptural reference I have is for the Chamber of Commerce building, from a copy of Stone Magazine from 1924. The model was also by Keck. The photo in the above article shows the sculpture, over the door.

i ran into your intersting architectural tour of Newark while doing research for a massive work, the architectural sculpture in America. I know that Charles Keck did the Hall of Deeds work, but do you have any information about any of the other Guilbert & Betelle projects you visited, or anything else about the subject for that matter. Life is supposed to be interesting. Einar

wow, excellent work !
I lived in Newark many years, in fact taught at NSFIA, but I never quite saw it in this light. Thank you, I will definitely pass this link to my friends in Newark who are active in historic preservation.
Compliments !
