		<description><![CDATA[James Betelle&#8217;s death is one of the more curious aspects of his story.  He died in Italy, ending up in an unmarked pauper&#8217;s grave, while in Delaware, a stone with his name on it sits quietly in an old cemetery. How did he come to be buried (as it were), in two places? I&#8217;ve already [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Newark Sunday Call of December 3, 1916, offered this brief obituary for Ernest F. Guilbert, who died two days earlier: Few men in the last generation have left a more enduring mark upon this community than one who came here less than a decade ago, and who now has ceased his earthly labors.

		<description><![CDATA[Office parties—when the staff lets their hair down, the boss awkwardly pretends to be &#8220;one of the gang&#8221;, and at least one person gets embarrassingly drunk—are a staple of the corporate world. These days, such events are limp, pathetic affairs, attended with the same enthusiasm as your average dental cleaning. Last week, during one of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The output of new works from Guilbert &#38; Betelle plummeted in the 1930s, as the Depression caused a suspension of school infrastructure programs. The firm layed off most of the staff, which numbered over 200 just a few years earlier. Reduced to minor, low profile jobs—building service upgrades, interior renovations—James Betelle had little need to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In March, 2008, I took a three-day excursion to James Betelle’s hometown of Wilmington, Delaware. My plan was to visit a few research libraries, see significant locations, and, well, just get a sense of where Betelle came from. What follows is a recreation of the trip presented in the dramatic diary format. Thursday, March 13. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[John Wesley Betelle was born, lived and died in Delaware. Spending most of his life as a clerk for the B&#38;O Railroad in Wilmington, I suspect he traveled very little, if he left the state at all. 1921 was a big year for his son James. Between Guilbert&#8217;s death in 1916 and a stint in [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In my entry regarding the Franklin Murphy house, I ruminated that it was the only known residential structure designed by Guilbert &#38; Betelle. As it turns out, I was wrong. I&#8217;ve recently had the privilege of corresponding with members of the Guilbert family, who have shown a keen interest in my research. Given the circumstances [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I finally visited Ernest Guilbert&#8217;s gravesite. I had made an attempt a while ago, but the office was closed. Evergreen Cemetery in Hillside, NJ, is over 150 acres, so I wasn&#8217;t about to look the hard way. I went directly to the office, a charming little Mansard Victorian building near the main gate. The clerk [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Now this is a fun little thing. By sheer luck I&#8217;ve found caricature illustrations of both James Betelle and Ernest Guilbert. I&#8217;ve had the Betelle drawing for a while, but just recently acquired the Guilbert, so I can now present them as the symmetrical pair they were destined to be.

		<description><![CDATA[If James Betelle was a mystery when this project began, than Ernest F. Guilbert, his partner, was a mystery wrapped in an enigma encased in a block of lucite. There was–and is–very little information regarding this architect who clearly had a strong influence on Betelle. Today the mystery is lessened. I found his obituary in [...]]]></description>
