		<description><![CDATA[Guilbert &#38; Betelle designed a number of banks for Newark in the early 1920s. They are frustratingly difficult to track down, because few reveal their addresses, or are probably drastically altered in appearance.
Well this one, the United States Savings Bank on Broad Street, still exists. I&#8217;ve unknowingly walked past it dozens of times, because it [...]]]></description>

“In Southern California, Arizona or New Mexico, where climactic conditions are suitable and the history of the place suggests it, a school of the Mission or Spanish style would be quite appropriate. This style of architecture with its white stucco walls, low pitched tile roofs and southern atmosphere, has been made familiar to the traveling [...]]]></description>

Newark wears its history in plain sight. An astoundingly diverse collection of buildings, evocative street names and a rich narrative dating back over 300 years lay the city bare to those who even casually glance. James Betelle spent his 20 most productive years there, so it naturally comprises a good chunk of my research.
I’ve spent [...]]]></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.

The firm designed the high school and a number of grade schools, much as they did in South Orange and Maplewood, so I [...]]]></description>

As an alumnus of CHS, the massive clock tower has always been a source of some mystery. Lucky students have the chance to climb it, either for [...]]]></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[My first exposure to New Rochelle High School was a series of photographs in a 1932 article on school architecture written by James Betelle. While I had been pretty familiar with the traditional English Gothic and Neo-Classical designs of his schools, this one stood out as unique; it had a style unlike any other. Towers, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Last week I headed down to Newark to learn more about James Betelle&#8217;s tragically short-lived partner, Ernest F. Guilbert. I scored quickly by finding Guilbert&#8217;s obituary at the library, which painted a pretty good portrait of his life and career. With that done, I was off to chase down a number of schools I hadn&#8217;t [...]]]></description>

I had already seen a few pages from a 1930 version, acquired from the American Institute of Architect&#8217;s archives. Written when Betelle was [...]]]></description>
