		<description><![CDATA[Ten beautifully restored chandeliers were recently installed in the auditorium at the Washington Irving Intermediate School of Tarrytown, New York.
The school recently underwent a major renovation which included larger classrooms, an expanded library, a new art room, renovated music rooms, a new nurses station and renovations of the existing offices.
A wonderful restoration job from 2009. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I recently acquired  a 20 minute reel of 16mm silent color home movies, shot in Maplewood, New Jersey, in the 1950s-60s. In it are typical scenes of a family&#8217;s life; Church, Christmas, Halloween, hanging out at the pool, etc. Interspersed with this are scenes around Maplewood that any resident will easily recognize. Cars and clothes [...]]]></description>

But like an old home that has been lived in for generations, the auditorium is due for some renovation. The South Orange-Maplewood Education Foundation&#8217;s fundraiser &#8220;A Night on the Towns,&#8221; scheduled for Sunday, May 23, has designated the auditorium as [...]]]></description>

These days, such events are limp, pathetic affairs, attended with the same enthusiasm as your average dental cleaning.

&#8220;The Montrose school yard boasts what I consider to be the most beautiful birch tree in town. It’s also a fine tree for climbing, according to my neighbor, who indicated a branch far from the ground. [...]]]></description>

		<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>

		<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 personally [...]]]></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>

Today is Thanksgiving, and as I sit here reflecting on my good fortune (and not that of the turkey cooking a few feet away), I thought I would pay tribute to another, less celebrated bird: the Owl.
Owls have long stood for intelligence, scholasticism and wisdom, so it’s no surprise they were often used as a [...]]]></description>
