		<description><![CDATA[ This past Saturday I had the rare treat of being given a tour of the clock room and astronomical observatory of Columbia High School in Maplewood, New Jersey.
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[
&#8220;On February, 1930, we the class of January 1933, entered the portals of the State Normal School at Jersey City. Bewildered, cautious, lest we commit a grave offense, we wandered aimlessly about the halls. Attention was called to the foyer, the library, and the auditorium. We fairly drank in the beauty of a school so [...]]]></description>

Any exposure for this arcane subject is welcome, and the article certainly gained a nice bit of readership. If you&#8217;ve discovered this site from reading [...]]]></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 the [...]]]></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 of [...]]]></description>

To that end, I&#8217;ve had a small article published in Matters, a community magazine based in Maplewood, New Jersey.

I went directly to the office, a charming little Mansard Victorian building near the main gate. The clerk [...]]]></description>

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.

Referencing New Rochelle&#8217;s French heritage, New Rochelle High School was rendered in a  French Gothic style infused with provincial chateau elements.
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 [...]]]></description>
