Robert Seyfart (/ˈsaɪfarθ/ SY-farth ) asoslangan amerikalik me'mor edi Chikago, Illinoys. U o'zining professional karerasining shakllanish yillarini taniqli Prairie School arxitektori Jorj Vashington Maherda ishlashga sarfladi. Nufuzli Chikago arxitektura klubi a'zosi Seyfart bu mahsulot edi Chikago arxitektura maktabi.

Uslubning ta'siri

1916 yil iyun oyida nashr etilgan Robert Seyfart tomonidan u loyihalashtirgan uyning old qismida (ehtimol Burnique uyi, 421 [1509 yilda] Oakwood Av., Highland Park, IL [buzib tashlangan]). Hunarmand jurnal. Tasvirga hamroh bo'lgan maqolada dizayn haqida shunday deyilgan: verandada "... o'ylab topilganidek mukammal me'moriy foydalanish ko'rinadi. Bu haqda eng samimiy mehmondo'st norasmiylik mavjud ... Qanday yoqimli. dizayni va nisbati sodda! "^[1] Bu mutanosiblik bilan muomala qilish va bezaklarni yaxshi ko'rib chiqish Seyfart ishining ajralib turadigan sifati va u tomonidan e'lon qilingan Hunarmand va zamonaviy me'morchilikni ilgari surgan boshqalar: "Hech qanday moddiy boylik yoki qo'l ishidan ayyorona foydalanish yomon mutanosiblikni qaytarib berolmaydi; yaxshi nisbat tafsilotlardan ustun turadi va eng kamtarin materialni ulug'laydi".^[2]

Garchi uning dastlabki mustaqil loyihalari Maherning uslubiy ta'sirini to'g'ridan-to'g'ri aks ettirgan bo'lsa-da, uning uslubi rivojlanib borganligi sababli Seyfart ijodi ustunroq bo'lgan distillash sifatida ajralib turdi. revivalist me'morchilik, bu harakatni tipiklashtirgan tafsilotlarga tez-tez sadoqat bilan emas, balki kuchli geometriya, mutanosiblik darajasi va tarixiy ma'lumotlardan tanlab, kamsituvchi foydalanish bilan tavsiflanadi. Ushbu ma'lumotnomalardan har qanday foydalanishni keyingi yillarda "zamonaviy" me'morchilik sifatida ko'rilgan ko'plab tarafdorlar qoralagan bo'lsalar-da, "neoklassik impuls ... Amerika me'morchiligini tarixiy revivalizmning vahshiy haddan oshishidan tozalash uchun harakat edi. o'n to'qqizinchi asr] asosiy me'morchilik tamoyillariga qaytish bilan. Ushbu me'morchilik ifoda etishga intilgan ideallar, ixtirochi Chikagodagi me'morlar o'zlarining ishlarida - tartib, uyg'unlik va tinchlikni o'zida mujassam etishga intilishgan ... ".^[3] Natijada, zamonaviy me'morchilik kontseptsiyasi statik hodisadan boshqa narsa emas edi. "Me'morlar va tanqidchilar zamonaviy me'morchilik ta'rifi va bino dizaynining kelajakdagi yo'nalishi to'g'risida qizg'in bahs-munozaralar olib borishdi. Ushbu ma'ruza Beaux-Arts klassitsizmidan tortib to soddalashtirishgacha bo'lgan turli xil me'moriy mafkuralar va shakllarning rivojlanishini aks ettirdi."^[4] Jozef Xadnut, birinchi dekan Garvard universiteti Dizayn maktabi va zamonaviy me'morchilikning taniqli tarafdori, shisha, beton va po'latning odatdagi zamonaviy so'z boyligidan foydalangan holda o'z dizaynini ifoda etgan uylarning hissiy cheklanishlarini tan oldi: "Ular ko'pincha qiziqarli estetik fazilatlarga ega, ular bizni o'zlarining yangiliklari va dramalari bilan hibsga olishadi. , lekin ko'pincha ular bizga aytadigan gaplari juda oz ".^[5]Zamonaviy arxitekturada tarixiy ma'lumotnomalardan foydalanish masalasi kam bo'lmagan Uilyam Adams Delano (1874-1960), u "Amerikalik didni shakllantirgan va rivojlantirgan, bilimdon mavhumlik va tejamkor kompozitsiya bilan xamirturush uslubini yaratadigan yangi avlod me'morlari" qatoriga kirgan.^[6] Delano, agar loyiha "erkinlik bilan muomala qilinsa va ... hozirgi mijozlarimizning talablariga javob bersa, bu haqiqatan ham o'z vaqtimizni ifodalaydi" deb ta'kidladi.^[7] Seyfart o'z karerasini ushbu xilma-xil yo'ldan yurishni tanladi va shu bilan me'morchilik merosini yaratdi "mustaqil ruh bilan yaxshi naslchilik haqida gapiradi".^[8]

O'ngdagi uchta bino Seyfartlar oilasiga tegishli bo'lib, Illinoys shtatidagi Moviy Aylenddagi Grove-St va G'arbiy avenyu janubi-g'arbiy qismida joylashgan. Fotosurat markazidagi oq bino Uilyam Seyfart 1848 yilda Moviy orolga kelganidan keyin ishlagan taverna edi.^[9] Dastlab u burchakda turar edi, ammo 1880 yilda Edvard Seyfartning apparat do'koniga bino qo'yish uchun bu erda joylashgan bino qurilganida qayta qurilgan va ko'chirilgan.^[10] 1896 yildagi Buyuk Moviy Orol yong'inida uchta bino ham vayron qilingan edi, ular Bairischer Hof orqasidagi shiyponda boshlangan, ularning darhol chap tomonidagi bino. Bairischer Hof olovdan omon qoldi.

Robert Seyfart taniqli mahalliy oilaning a'zosi bo'lib o'sgan. Uning bobosi Uilyam Seyfart 1848 yilda AQShga hozirgi shtatdagi Shloss Tonndorfdan kelgan. Turingiya, Germaniya, Chikagodagi tavernani ochish niyatida (endi mehmonxona deb hisoblanadigan narsa). Shahar tashqarisida joylashishni maslahat berib, u rafiqasi Luiza bilan bir necha yil oldin o'sha paytda tanilgan immigratsiya oqimini boshlagan Moviy orolda joylashgan. Germaniya Konfederatsiyasi.

Uilyam Grove ko'chasi va G'arbiy prospektning janubi-g'arbiy qismida joylashgan bino sotib oldi va o'z biznesini ochdi. Joylashuv yaxshi edi - u o'sha paytda Vabash yo'li deb nomlangan, Chikagodan bir kunlik sayohat, bu tavernaga ko'p yillar davomida istiqbolli mijozlarning barqaror etkazib berilishini kafolatlagan. Taxminan bir vaqtning o'zida u aholi punktidan janubi-g'arbiy milda (qaerda) tosh karerasini sotib oldi Robbins, Illinoys hozirda) va uni mehmonxona bilan bir vaqtda boshqargan, garchi u qadar muvaffaqiyatga erishmagan bo'lsa ham. U Blue Island 1856 yilda o'zining birinchi g'isht maktabini qurganida, u maktab kengashining a'zosi edi,^[11] va keyinchalik shaharchada kotib va ​​keyinchalik baholovchi bo'lib ishlagan Arziydi 1854 yildan to 1860 yilda vafot etguniga qadar.^[12] Uilyam va Luizaning me'morning otasi bo'lgan Edvardni ham o'z ichiga olgan beshta o'g'li bor edi.
Edvard Seyfart ko'p darajadagi jamoat ishlarida faol qatnashgan. U nafaqat mahalliy apparat do'koniga egalik qilgan va uni boshqargan, balki 1874 yilda u Moviy orolning charter a'zosi bo'lgan Qadimgi bepul va qabul qilingan masonlar va 1890 yilda Calumet State Bank asoschilaridan biri bo'lgan. U 1880-1886 yillarda qishloq xazinachisi va 1886-1889 yillarda va 1893-1895 yillarda yana qishloqning ishonchli vakili bo'lib ishlagan. Ko'p yillar davomida oilaning boshqa a'zolari ham jamoatchilikda faol edilar - ular bank, ta'lim kengashi va "Moviy Orol" ning asos solinishi uchun katta mas'ul bo'lgan "Hozirgi mavzular klubi" (keyinchalik Moviy Orol Ayollar Klubi) bilan shug'ullanishgan. Orol jamoat kutubxonasi. Charlz A. Seyfart Moviy orolning asoschilaridan biri edi Elks 1916 yilda. (Me'mor, ehtimol u katolik manfaatlariga ega bo'lgan - u 20-asrning dastlabki yillarida Moviy Orol Shimoliy-Sharqiy Illinoys Fancierlar Assotsiatsiyasining shtab-kvartirasi bo'lgan davrda u parrandachilar uyushmasining faol a'zosi bo'lgan.^[13]).
Uning bobosi va buvisi 1848 yilda kelgan paytdan boshlab Robert Seyfart 1910 yilda Moviy orolni tark etib, Tog'lar bog'iga jo'naguniga qadar, qishloq qariyb 200 kishilik kashshof qishloq bo'lib, 11 mingga yaqin aholisi bo'lgan obod sanoat sanoatiga aylandi. noshir va tarixchi Alfred T.

Ta'lim va martaba

Chikago qo'lda o'qitish maktabi

Chikagodagi Manual Training School binosi, 349-353 (hozirda 1154) S. Michigan Avenue (Solon Spenser Beman, me'mor - 1884 yil^[17]). CMTS Chikago universiteti tomonidan sotib olinganidan keyin unga ko'chib o'tdi Hyde Park kampus 1903 yilda Dearborn tibbiyot kolleji tomonidan ishg'ol qilingan^[18] va Illinoys universiteti farmatsiya kolleji.^[19] U endi turmaydi.

Dunyo Kolumbiya ko'rgazmasi 61-chi st-da Illinoys markaziy yo'lidan sharqqa qarab ko'rinib turibdi.^[20] Treklar 1893 yilda ko'rgazma ochilgan paytgacha ko'tarilgan bo'lar edi.^[21]

Seyfart o'zining me'moriy ta'limini Tijorat Klubi tomonidan tashkil etilgan Chikago qo'lda o'qitish maktabida boshladi (1907 yildan keyin Chikago savdo klubi) ^[22] Chikago mintaqasida malakali ishchilarni o'qitish sifati haqida qayg'urishdan. Maktab 1884 yil 4-yanvarda to'rtta o'qituvchi va etmish to'rtta o'quvchi bilan eshiklarini ochdi va "qo'lda o'qitish maktabini yaratishga va'da bergan va uni qurish, jihozlash va qo'llab-quvvatlashga kafolat bergan klubning oltmish a'zosi ko'magi bilan. yuz ming dollar miqdorida. "^[23] 1877 yilda tashkil etilgan klub tarkibiga shaharning eng nufuzli rahbarlari guruhi kirgan Marshall Field, Jorj Pulman, Edson Keyt, Sirus Makkormik va Jorj Armor. Klub vorisi The Chikagoning tijorat klubi keyinchalik homiylik qiladi Daniel Burnxem va Edvard X. Bennet "s Chikago rejasi (1909), bu hozirgi kunda yaratilgan eng muhim davlat rejalashtirish hujjatlaridan biri sifatida tan olingan. Chikago qo'lda o'qitish maktabi xususiy o'rta maktab bo'lib, o'z o'quvchilarini o'qishga kirganlaridan boshlab uch yil o'tgach tugatishga mo'ljallangan edi. Hammasi erkaklar bo'lgan talabalar jamoasi odatdagi o'rta maktab o'quv dasturlarini o'rganish uchun sinflarda o'tkazgan vaqtidan tashqari, har kuni bir soatni chaqirish xonasida va kuniga ikki soat do'konda o'tkazishi kerak edi. 1891 yilda o'qish har yili "to'lashga qodir bo'lganlar uchun" o'rtacha 100,00 AQSh dollarini tashkil etdi.^[24][25] 1903 yilda muassasa Chikago universiteti laboratoriya maktablari tarkibiga kirdi,^[26] CMTS (keyinchalik Belfild) zalidan tashqarida ishlash.^[27]
Garchi uni butunlay boshqacha yo'nalishga olib borishi kerak bo'lsa-da, sanoat san'atiga e'tibor qaratgan Chikago qo'lda o'qitish maktabi apparat sotuvchisining to'ng'ich o'g'lining o'rta ma'lumoti uchun mantiqiy tanlov edi, ayniqsa primogenitizm ko'rib chiqilgan davrda. muhim. Seyfart chizmachilik bo'yicha darslaridan tashqari matematika, ingliz, frantsuz, lotin, tarix, fizika, kimyo, quyish va ishlov berish, dastgohlarda ishlov berish, yog'ochdan ishlov berish, siyosiy iqtisod va fuqarolik hukumati bilan shug'ullangan.^[28] U darslarga qatnashdi va 1895 yilda Dankmar Adlerning o'g'li va jiyani bilan o'g'li bilan tugatdi Genri Demarest Lloyd^[29] va bilan Genri Xorner 1933 yildan o'limigacha Illinoys gubernatori bo'lgan (1878-1940).^[30]
17 mil uzoqlikda bo'lishiga qaramay, Seyfart maktabning qulay joylashish imkoniyatidan bahramand bo'ldi. Safarining boshlanishini ko'rsatadigan temir yo'l ombori Grove ko'chasi va G'arbiy prospektdagi uyidan ikki blok yurish edi.^[31] Safarning oxiri to'g'ridan-to'g'ri ko'chaning narigi tomonida joylashgan Illinoys shtatining o'n ikkinchi ko'chasi stantsiyasida maktabdan. Safar uni to'g'ridan-to'g'ri ustidan olib ketgan bo'lar edi Midway Plaisance U dunyoning Kolumbiya ko'rgazmasida, u buyuklarning g'arbida aniq ko'rinishga ega bo'lar edi Ferris g'ildiragi va sharqda Beaux Arts Yarmarka asosiy qismining ulug'vorligi. 1890-yillarning boshlarida Amerikadan kichik shaharchadan kelgan bolakayga bu taassurot qoldirmaydi va unga ulkan ilhom bag'ishlamagan bo'lar edi, deb tasavvur qilish qiyin, chunki bu keyingi qirq yil ichida me'morchilik dunyosida keng tarqalgan. Uning kitobida Shoir hayoti - o'zgaruvchan dunyoda etmish yil, yozuvchi, jurnal asoschisi She'riyat^[32] va ijtimoiy tanqidchi Harriet Monro Yarmarka yopilganidan qirq besh yil o'tgach, qisqacha ta'kidladiki, "... go'zallikning barcha ulkan yutuqlari singari, u ham keyingi" asr "ga qadar davom etgan beqiyos ilhomlantiruvchi kuchga aylandi".^[33]

Chikago arxitektura klubi

Katalogidan sahifa 12 Chikago arxitektura klubining o'n oltinchi yillik ko'rgazmasi (1903), Seyfartning "Kutubxona" uchun yozuvini ko'rsatdi. Keyinchalik Seyfart Illinoys me'morlari jamiyatining a'zosiga aylanadi, u 1918 va 1928 yillarda^[34] ko'rgazmani Chikagodagi Arxitektura klubi va Illinoysdagi bo'lim bilan birgalikda homiylik qiladi Amerika me'morlari instituti, Chikagodagi San'at instituti bilan hamkorlikda.^[35]

20-asrning dastlabki yillarida me'mor ta'limi hozirgi zamondan ancha farq qilar edi va kelajakka intiluvchan me'mor unga erishish uchun ko'plab yo'llarni tanlashi mumkin edi. Masalan, 1905 yil aprelda Seyfart Chikago arxitektura klubi a'zosi sifatida o'zining birinchi yig'ilishida qatnashdi,^[36] 1885 yilda Chikagodagi taniqli rassom Jeyms X. Karpenter tomonidan Chikagodagi me'moriy eskizlar klubi sifatida jurnalning ko'magi bilan tashkil etilgan. Ichki me'mor, uning birinchi soni 1883 yil fevral oyida nashr etilgan.^[37] Klub Chikagoda me'morchilik avj olgan davrda - undan keyin tashkil topgan Katta olov 1871 yil mamlakatning eng yaxshi me'morchilik iste'dodlaridan iborat ko'p sonli odamlar hozirgi zamonning eng ilg'or va ilg'or usullaridan foydalangan holda zamonaviy shaharni tiklashga kelishgan.^[38] Shunga qaramay, hamjamiyat topshiriqni bajarish uchun zarur bo'lgan barcha ishlarni bajarishga harakat qilib, soliqqa tortildi. Chikago uning o'sishiga e'tibor qaratganlarni hayratda qoldiradigan darajada rivojlanib borar edi, chunki "shaharga tanish bo'lmagan kishi har kuni o'zgarib turadigan va tobora kengayib boradigan chegara chizig'ida ... har kuni hayrat uchun yangi mavzu topar edi. . "^[39] Chikagodagi me'mor sifatida John Wellborn Root yillar o'tgach esladi:

"G'arbda me'morchilikni rivojlantirish sharoitlari deyarli har jihatdan mislsiz bo'lgan. Dunyo tarixida hech qachon bunday ulkan va shu bilan birga bir hil hududni qamrab oluvchi hamjamiyat bunday ajoyib tezlik bilan rivojlangan va sharoitda bo'lmagan. Hozirgacha rivojlangan tsivilizatsiya. Tarixda bir necha marotaba tabiatning boshlang'ich to'siqlarini yiqitadigan va aholining umidsiz qarshiligini engib chiqadigan bu toqatsiz taraqqiyot to'lqini kabi ta'sirchan manzarani taqdim etgani yo'q; hayotga to'la va to'la suvlar chuqurroq va sokin suvlari. va'da haqida hozirgacha ma'lum bo'lganidan ham muhimroqdir. "^[40]

Klub shahar me'morlari uchun rasmiy ta'lim umuman mavjud bo'lmagan va talab qilinmagan bir paytda, o'zlari malakali me'mor bo'lishlari uchun shaharning ko'plab rassomlarining iste'dodlarini rivojlantirishga yordam berish uchun harakat qilishdi. (Qo'shma Shtatlardagi birinchi me'moriy maktabga me'mor asos solgan Uilyam Robert Vare da MIT 1868 yilda to'qqiz talaba bilan, hatto 1896 yilga kelib, Seyfartni tugatgandan so'ng, mamlakatda 273 kishilik o'quvchilar guruhiga ega bo'lgan atigi to'qqizta maktab mavjud edi.^[41]) Seyfart Maherda ishlagan davrida qo'shildi, u yillar davomida har yili o'tkaziladigan musobaqalarda notiq, yozuvchi, eksponat va hakam sifatida klubning faol a'zosi bo'lgan. Seyfart o'z ishiga ushbu ko'rgazmalarning ikkitasida qatnashgani ma'lum ^[42] - birinchi marta 1903 yilda (u a'zo bo'lgunga qadar), uning taqdimoti "kutubxona" ro'yxatiga kiritilganida,^[43] va yana 1905 yilda, kirish mavzusi Moviy orolda o'z uyi bo'lgan.^[44] 1905 yilgi ko'rgazma katalogining muqaddimasi taniqli me'mor nimaga bag'ishlangan edi Elmer Grey (1872-1963) "ixtirochi va hindu arxitekturasi" deb nomlangan, bu ibora Seyfartning ushbu uy uchun dizaynini mukammal aks ettirgan va uning tasvirlari kiritilishining sabablaridan biri bo'lishi mumkin.

Chikagodagi me'morchilik klubi bilan aloqadorligi sababli Seyfart Chikagodagi ilg'or me'morchilik jamoatchiligining katta ishtirokchilari bilan tanishish uchun juda ko'p imkoniyatga ega bo'lar edi, ularning ko'pchiligi faol a'zolar edi. Bular, shubhasiz, Maher rag'batlantirgan munosabatlar edi. Ro'yxat orasida taniqli shaxslar kiritilgan Charlz B. Atvud, Daniel Burnxem, Dankmar Adler, Lui Sallivan, Xovard Van Doren Shou, Uilyam Le Baron Jenni va Frank Lloyd Rayt.^[45]
Klubning bosh qarorgohi ko'p yillar davomida pianino ishlab chiqaruvchining sobiq qasrida joylashgan edi Uilyam V. Kimball 1801 da Prairie Ave. Chikagoda. U 1940 yilda faol tashkilot sifatida faoliyatini to'xtatdi va 1967 yilda tarqatib yuborildi, ammo 1979 yilda qayta tashkil etilganidan keyin bugun yana mavjud.

Ushbu jadvalda Robert Seyfartning me'moriy falsafasini shakllantirishga yordam bergan bir necha avlodlar davomida ish va ustozlik orqali professional munosabatlar tasvirlangan. Qo'shma Shtatlarning arxitektura tarixiga qiziqish bildirgan har bir kishi, bu erda ismlari kiritilgan ko'plab shaxslarni - 19-asr va 20-asrning boshlarida Amerikaning eng taniqli me'morlari va innovatsion mutafakkirlari ro'yxatini tashkil etadigan ismlarni darhol tan oladi.

Robert Seyfart 1895 yilda Chikagodagi qo'lda o'qitish maktabini tugatgan va maktab tomonidan nashr etilgan adabiyot uning bitiruvdan keyingi pozitsiyasini Chikagodagi me'mor Avgust Fidler uchun "chizmachilik" pozitsiyasidir.

Allen Bruks, tasviriy san'at professori Toronto universiteti "Uning O'rta G'arbdagi ta'siri chuqur va uzoq bo'lgan va o'z vaqtida, albatta, [Frenk Lloyd] Raytnikidek katta bo'lgan. O'sha kunning odatiy me'morchiligi bilan taqqoslaganda, uning ishi ancha erkinlik va o'ziga xoslikni namoyish etdi va uning ichki ko'rinishi diqqatga sazovor edi ularning ochiq va oqimli ... maydoni uchun ".^[66] Genri M. Xayd, 1913 yilda chop etilgan maqolasida Chicago Tribune, "ular me'morchilikning klassik turlarining konvensiyalari va qoidalariga ahamiyat bermaydilar. Ular yangi va demokratik ruhni ifoda etar edilar" deb ta'kidlab, Maher va "yangi Amerika me'morchilik maktabi" ning boshqa a'zolarining ishlarini tan oldilar. U so'zlarini davom ettirdi: "... shubhasiz, hozirda Chikago isyonchilari va ularning ishi Amerikadagi boshqa me'morchilik rivojlanishiga qaraganda ko'proq e'tiborni jalb qilmoqda va ko'proq izohlarni keltirib chiqarmoqda".^[67]

Jorj B. Draydenning qarorgohi (1869-1959), Illinoys shtatidagi Evanston, 1314 Ridj-ave. Jorj Maher, me'mor (1918)^[68]). Maher bino uchun an'anaviy uslubda bino loyihasini taqdim etishdan oldin bo'lmagan va bu misol uning idorasi yaxshi ishlangan ishlarni bajarishga qodirligini ko'rsatmoqda. 1920 yil yanvar oyida ushbu uyning namoyishi G'arbiy me'mor jurnali tan olishicha, garchi bu uy Maher odatda kutib turadigan narsalardan tashqarida bo'lgan bo'lsa-da, u "albatta" ilg'or "harakatga bo'lgan ishonchini saqlab qoladi va shunga qaramay, bunday yo'nalishda ishlashni davom ettiradi. hech bir me'mor o'tmish me'morchiligiga asoslanmagan ijodiy ishlarni bajarishga qodir emas ". Ushbu bayonot, agar u Maher falsafasini aniq aks ettirsa, Seyfartning me'moriy rivojlanishiga hal qiluvchi ta'sir ko'rsatgan bo'lishi kerak.^[69] Uy hali ham turibdi. Mashinalar xonasi bilan bir qatorda u oltita kondominyum bo'linmalariga bo'lingan.^[70]

Maher hayotining boshlanishi, ammo unchalik omadli bo'lmagan. U tug'ilgan Mill Krik, G'arbiy Virjiniya va taxminan besh yoshida, o'sha paytda Mill Krikdagi noqulay iqtisodiy sharoitlar tufayli uning oilasi ko'chib o'tdi Nyu-Albani, Indiana. U erda Maher boshlang'ich maktabda o'qigan, ammo o'spirinligidayoq oila yana ko'chib ketayotgan edi, bu safar Chikagoga. Ular 1871 yildagi Katta yong'indan keyin shaharga kelgan farovonlikdan foydalanish uchun u erga borishdi va 1878 yilda Jorj Chikagodagi me'mor Augustus Bauer bilan shogirdga yuborildi (1881 yildan keyin)^[71] Genri Xill bilan hamkorlikda^[72] Artur Voltersdorf bilan 1895 yilda Moviy orolda Avliyo Benedikt cherkovini quradi^[73]) ota-onasi tomonidan, o'sha paytda g'ayrioddiy bo'lmaganidek, ushbu turdagi ish bilan ta'minlaydigan daromad bilan oila daromadlarini ko'paytirish kerak edi.^[74]Tarix ko'rsatganidek, voqealarning bunday o'zgarishi Maher uchun omadli bo'lgan. Bauer "shaharning taniqli ijtimoiy va madaniy hakamlari" qatoriga kirgan.^[75] U 1853 yilda Qo'shma Shtatlarga kelib, Robert Seyfartning bobosini AQShga olib kelgan nemis immigratsiyasi to'lqinining bir qismi bo'lgan va u va uning sheriklari, ular ham nemis ekstrakti bo'lganlar, bu bilan ta'minlashda muhim rol o'ynagan. 19-asrning ikkinchi yarmida Chikagodagi yirik nemis jamoalari uchun me'moriy xizmatlar. 1869 yilda Bauer Chikagodagi birinchi nemis maktabini Sion Lyuteran cherkovi uchun 1352 S. Union Street-da, 1872-73 yillarda esa Bauer va Löbnitz Klark ko'chasida va Chikago prospektida Chikago Turngemeinde (buzib tashlangan) kontsert zalini loyihalashtirdi.^[76] Bauer sheriklik mahsuloti ko'plab taniqli loyihalarni, shu jumladan Qadimgi Patrik cherkovi Adams ko'chasidagi 700-uy (1856, yangilangan va tiklangan 1992-1999,)^[77] qaysi Chikago jurnali Chikagodagi eng muhim 40 bino orasida joylashgan ^[78]), Rozenberg favvorasi Grant parki (1893 yil 16-oktyabrga bag'ishlangan,^[79] qayta tiklandi 2004), va Daraxtlar studiyalari N. shtat ko'chasi 601-623 da (1894–1913, Parfitt aka-ukalar bilan, 2004 yilda ta'mirlangan). Bauer izolyatsiya qilingan oyoq asoslari tizimini ixtiro qilganligi bilan ajralib turadi, bu vertikal tayanchlar orasida uzoqroq masofani bosib o'tishga imkon beradi. Ushbu yangilik boshqa narsalar qatori zamonaviy arxitekturaning odatiy xususiyatiga aylangan shishaning keng maydonlariga imkon beradi.^[80] Maher Bauerning yagona taniqli himoyachisi emas edi - boshida Fuqarolar urushi va yana uning oxirida Bauer ish bilan ta'minlandi Dankmar Adler ^[81](1844-1900), keyinchalik kim bilan ishlaydi Lui Sallivan uchun muhim hissa sifatida qaraladigan binolarda Chikago maktabi arxitektura, xususan Chikago fond birjasi binosi (1893, buzilgan 1972) va Auditoriya binosi (1889) (hozirgi uy Ruzvelt universiteti ).
Maher Bauerda va uning sheriklarida qancha ishlaganligi noma'lum, ammo 1880-yillarga kelib u ofisida ishlagan. Jozef Layman Silsbi u me'mor bo'lishidan oldin yangi Tasviriy san'at kollejida arxitektura professori bo'lgan Sirakuza universiteti. Silsbee eng so'nggi me'moriy uslubda loyihalashtirilgan iste'dodli me'mor edi. U o'zining e'tiboriga sazovor bo'ldi Shingle uslubi binolar va "... usta edi Qirolicha Anne uslubi va mijozlari hayratiga soladigan romantik effektni qo'lga kiritishda u zamondoshlariga qaraganda kamroq [o'ziga xos] betartiblikka bog'liq edi.^[82] U 1882 yilda Chikagoga ichki me'mor vazifasini bajarish uchun kelgan va shu sababli Potter va Beraning boy interyerlari uchun mas'ul bo'lgan. Palmer hayoliy qal'a^[83] 1350 N. Lake Shore Drive-da (1881-1885 yillarda qurilgan, 1950 yiqilgan,^[84] Genri Ives Kobb (1859-1931) va Charlz Sumner Frost (1856-1931) me'morlari) va shahar uchun bir qancha muhim loyihalarni ishlab chiqishda qolishdi, shu jumladan Linkoln Park Konservatoriyasi (1890–1895) va G'arbiy Virjiniya binosi va Dunyo Kolumbiya ko'rgazmasi uchun harakatlanuvchi piyodalar yo'lagi (1893). U Silsbee-da ishlagan paytida, Maher u bilan birga ishlagan Jorj Grant Elmsli (1869–1952), Frank Lloyd Rayt (1867-1959) va Irving Gill (1870-1936), ular keyinchalik har xil me'morchilik uslublari bilan ajralib tursa ham, keyinchalik taniqli me'morlarga aylanadi. 1888 yilda Maher Charlz Korvin bilan o'z idorasini tashkil qildi, bu munosabatlar taxminan 1893 yilgacha davom etdi. U qisqa vaqt ichida Evanstion, Illinoys shtatidagi Shimoli-G'arbiy universiteti bilan professional aloqalardan bahramand bo'ldi, u erda 1909 yilda (Seyfart o'z idorasida bo'lganida) Swift Hall va birinchi Patten gimnaziyasi (1940 yiqilgan). Ushbu binolar uning betakror dizayn falsafasining jasur ifodasi edi va 1911 yilda vasiylik kengashi tomonidan buyurtma qilingan, ammo bajarilmay qolgan talabalar shaharchasi uchun bosh rejasining ajralmas qismlari bo'lishi kerak edi. Bu keyingi yillarda bitta sharhlovchini "Bu shimoliy-g'arbiy me'morchilik tarixidagi eng afsuslanarli yo'qotish: hech qachon bo'lmagan noyob Prairie School kampus" deb afsuslanishiga sabab bo'ldi.^[85] Frenk Lloyd Rayt natijani bashorat qilgan bo'lar edi. Uning "Arxitekturadagi yigitga" degan maslahatlari ro'yxatidagi 13-band quyidagicha: "Hech qanday sharoitda hech qanday arxitektura tanloviga yangi boshlang'ich sifatida kirmang. Hech bir musobaqa dunyoga Arxitektura sohasida bo'lishga arziydigan narsani bermagan. Hakamlar hay'ati o'zi Tanlangan o'rtacha.Hakamlar hay'ati tomonidan amalga oshiriladigan birinchi narsa - bu barcha dizaynlarni ko'rib chiqish va eng yaxshi va eng yomonlarini tashlash, shunda o'rtacha, o'rtacha bo'lishi mumkin, har qanday musobaqaning aniq natijasi o'rtacha o'rtacha. ".^[86]
Umrining oxiriga kelib, Illinoys shtatining Illinoys bo'limining shahar san'ati va shaharsozlik qo'mitasining raisi bo'lganida. Amerika me'morlari instituti, Maher sobiq Tasviriy san'at saroyini qayta tiklash uchun harakatlantiruvchi kuchga aylandi, keyinchalik u qulab tushgan xaroba bo'lib, u o'sha paytgacha Jahon Kolumbiya ko'rgazmasidan qolgan yagona yirik bino edi. Paydo bo'lgan maqolada Amerika me'mori 1921 yilda Maher quyidagi kuzatuvni o'tkazdi, bu uning mavjud bo'lgan ish tanasini o'rganib chiqqandan so'ng kelib chiqishi mumkin bo'lgan xulosaga qaramay klassik me'morchilikka moyilligini ko'rsatmoqda: "Bir yarim million dollardan sal ko'proq uchun Chikago abadiy qolishi mumkin edi; me'morchilikning dunyodagi eng go'zal namunalaridan biri ... Bu me'morlar, rassomlar va tanqidchilar orasida bu bino klassik me'morchilikning sof namunasi sifatida tengsiz ekanligi umumiy fikrda.U Chikagodagi eng katta yutuqlardan biri bo'lgan so'nggi yodgorlikdir. , Kolumbiya ekspozitsiyasi. "^[87] Maher nima boshlaganini ko'rish uchun yashamadi, ammo davomida Taraqqiyot asri 1933 yilda Fan va sanoat muzeyi yangi tiklangan binoda ochilgan bo'lib, loyiha xayriyachining 5 million dollarlik sovg'asi bilan moliyalashtirildi Yulius Rozenvald (1862-1932), kimning prezidenti bo'lgan Sears, Roebuck and Company.^[88]
Ehtimol, Robert Seyfart Maher bilan oilaviy aloqalar orqali tanishgan. Edvard Seyfart muhim mahalliy ishbilarmon bo'lganligi sababli, u deyarli Moviy orolda qurilgan me'morning ishi bilan tanishgan bo'lar edi.^[89]

Mustaqil amaliyot

Bu Seyfartning Blue Islanddagi uyidan tashqari o'z nomi bilan paydo bo'lishining eng qadimgi namunasi. Bu 1905 yil may oyida nashr etilgan Milliy quruvchi jurnal.

Robert Seyfart mustaqil me'mor sifatida o'z xizmatlarini Chikagodagi qo'lda o'qitish maktabini tugatgandan so'ng darhol taklif qila boshladi. 19-asrning oxiridagi Moviy orolning katalogi,^[90] u katta ehtimol bilan Chikago maktab kengashida ishlagan paytida nashr etilgan bo'lib, unda "Robert Seyfarth, Architect" ro'yxati mavjud bo'lib, unda Seyfart binosi (1992 yilda buzilgan) uning manzili ko'rsatilgan. U Maherning ofisida ishlay boshlagandan so'ng, uning mustaqil ishlari Maxer va boshqa Prairie School arxitektorlarining ta'sirini namoyish eta boshladi va uning dastlabki mustaqil mustaqil ishi shu paytga to'g'ri keldi. 1905 yilda may oyidagi nashrida "Toza kichkina bungalov uyi" rejalari, materiallari va xarajatlar smetasi bilan nashr etildi. Milliy quruvchi jurnal.^[91]

Seyfart taxminan 1909 yilgacha Maherda ishlashni davom ettirdi va o'sha paytda u o'z amaliyotini ochdi. Dastlabki yillarda ofis Corn Exchange Bank binosida joylashgan (1908, Shepley, Rutan va Coolidge, 1985 yilda buzilgan) Chikago fond birjasi binosidan bir oz narida joylashgan S. LaSalle ko'chasidagi 134-uyda. Seyfart, ehtimol Chikagodagi Bankirlar Klubining prezidenti va uzoq vaqt Corn Exchange National vitse-prezidenti bo'lgan Moviy orolning qo'shnisi Benjamin S Sammons (1866-1916) ta'sirida o'z ofisini yaratishga jalb qilingan. Bank.^[92] Keyinchalik Seyfart yangi qurib bitkazilgan binoga ko'chib o'tdi Tribuna minorasi (1925, John Mead Howells va Raymond Gud ), u erda yigirma birinchi qavatda 1934 yilgacha ofis bo'lgan Depressiya biznesini o'z uyiga ko'chirishga majbur qildi Shimoliy qirg'oq hamjamiyati Tog'lar bog'i. Uning ishi kichik idora edi - u loyihalash, tuzish va nazorat ishlarini o'zi bajargan va ko'p yillar davomida Miss Eldridge yordam bergan, u texnik shartlarni yozgan va odatda idoraning ishlashini ta'minlagan. Ofis o'z uyiga ko'chirilgandan so'ng, u o'zining yordamchisi sifatida Edvard Xumrichni oldi (1901-1991), u Seyfartning ishini tark etishidan biroz oldin ketganidan keyin taniqli me'morga aylandi. Ikkinchi jahon urushi. Humrich taniqli kasbni loyihalashtirish va uyda uy qurishni yoqtirardi Usonian Frank Lloyd Raytning uslubi. U o'zining arxitektura litsenziyasini 1968 yilda qo'lga kiritgan. Bir qator intervyularida Chikagodagi San'at instituti 1986 yilda u Seyfartning murojaatini sarhisob qildi: "U mutanosiblik va o'lchovni yaxshi bilardi. Uning uylari hammasi Shimoliy sohilga to'g'ri edi ... va ular ajoyib. Uning mahorati, o'ziga xos tetikligi bor edi. va bu yaxshi edi. "^[93]
Mustaqil amaliyotga o'tganidan bir-ikki yil o'tgach, Robert Seyfart a gambrel tom yopilgan Shingle uslubi uy yonida Sheridan yo'li ko'cha qarshisidagi Highland Parkida Frank Lloyd Raytniki Ward Willets uy (1901) va bu uning dizayn ishlari yo'nalishini o'zgartirganligini ko'rsatdi - butun karerasi davomida u eklektik uslubda dizaynni birlashtirgan Mustamlaka tiklanishi, Tudor va kuchli geometrik shakllarga ega bo'lgan kontinental viloyat elementlari.^[94] Kariyerasi davomida Seyfart faqat Highland Parkdagi 73 ta uyni loyihalashtirar edi, u erda uning chiqishi rezident sifatida kelishidan oldin boshlangan va o'limidan sal oldinroq bo'lgan. Bu erda u keyingi yillarda Donishmand tomonidan yosh me'morlarga mashhur tarzda taklif qilingan degan tushunchani e'tiborsiz qoldirishga qaror qildi Taliesin "... go as far away as possible from home to build your first buildings. The physician can bury his mistakes—but the Architect can only advise his client to plant vines.".^[95] Almost exclusively a residential architect with the majority of his work in the Chicago area, he also designed projects in Michigan, Viskonsin, Ogayo shtati, Virjiniya, Kentukki va Alabama. By the end of his career, he had designed over two hundred houses.^[96]One of his more important works is the Samuel Holmes House designed in 1926 and listed on the Tarixiy joylarning milliy reestri. A shingle uslubi uy qarovsiz Michigan ko'li, its landscaping was designed by Jens Jensen.^[97]Robert Seyfarth continued to live and work in Highland Park until his death on March 1, 1950.The Chikago tarix muzeyi Research Center has an archive consisting of drawings for 70 of Seyfarth's projects dating after 1932.

Client base

Seyfarth is sometimes considered to be a "society architect",^[98] and an examination of the body of his known work will bear this out, but only to a certain extent. One client of this class, Willoughby G. Walling^[99] (1878–1938), of Winnetka, IL, is known to have mingled with European royalti^[100][101] and with at least one Amerika Qo'shma Shtatlari Prezidenti in his capacity as the acting director general of the Department of Civilian Relief and as Vice-Chairman of the Central Committee of the Amerika Qizil Xoch. Uning akasi Uilyam ingliz devorlari tomonidan tan olingan W.E.B. Du Bois as the founder of the NAACP,^[102] and Willoughby himself "...became a major spokesman for the Chicago movement". Here he worked alongside the noted social reformer Jeyn Addams and some of Chicago's wealthiest and most influential citizens, including Mrs. Cyrus McCormick, Mrs. Emmons Blaine [whose father-in-law Jeyms G. Bleyn was variously a Senator, Palata spikeri va Davlat kotibi uchun Jeyms Garfild va Chester A. Artur ] and Julius Rosenwald.^[103]

The Jessie Sykes Beardsley house, 1918 (shown here c.1920), Freedom Township, Ohio

Other wealthy clients exported Seyfarth's talents when they built houses outside the Chicago area. Norman W. Harris (of Chicago's Xarris banki ), whose intown residence was also in Winnetka, raised Arabian horses at Kemah Farm in Uilyams Bay, Viskonsin where his family lived in a "white cottage ..., one of the charming, low, rambling houses for which Robert Seyfarth, its architect, is famous.".^[104] Another such client was Jessie Sykes Beardsley, who returned to her husband's farm in Ozodlik shaharchasi yaqin Ravenna, Ogayo shtati in 1918 the year after his death and built a large house (locally known as the Manor House) which was designed by Seyfarth^[105] that she had commissioned, presumably while she was still in Chicago. Here she operated the Beardsley Dairy for a number of years. Her husband Orasmus Drake Beardsley had been the secretary and treasurer of her father's Chicago-based company, The Sykes Steel Roofing Company, which made a variety of products including roofing materials and pool tables.^[106] While there, according to the 1908 edition of The Chicago Blue Book of Selected Names, the Beardsleys lived at 4325 Grand Boulevard (now King Drive) on a street that today contains one of the most intact collections of residences built in the late 19th century for Chicago's elite. The same book also shows that Orasmus Beardsley was a member of various prestigious clubs, including The Chicago Athletic Association (where Kichik Uilyam Vrigli va L. Frank Baum were members) and the South Shore Country Club (now the Janubiy sohil madaniy markazi ), where he associated with the likes of Clarence Buckingham, Jon G. Shedd, John J. Glessner, Martin Ryerson, Klarens Darrou, Joy Morton and Willoughby Walling.^[107] The Beardsley's Freedom Township house was later owned by Ohio State Senator James P. Jones. Another among Seyfarth's clients of this type was the mail-order innovator Aaron Montgomeri Uord (1843–1913), who was briefly a neighbor after Seyfarth moved to Highland Park c. 1910. All of this notwithstanding, however, a careful analysis will show that Seyfarth served a broad-based clientele, and although he has a number of small houses to his credit the largest percentage of his work was done for what would be considered yuqori o'rta sinf clients.

Marketing

This advertisement features the house at 1236 Asbury Avenue in Winnetka, Illinoys, which was designed c. 1920 yil.
That Seyfarth was not averse to appropriating the elements of one project to improve the design of another can be illustrated here using the Barok doorhead and pilasters surrounding the front door of this house. It was used at least one other time - on the house at 2500 Lincoln Street (1925) in Evanston, IL., where the house this time was finished with red brick and Mustamlaka uyg'onishi uslubda.

Although un-attributed in this ad for the Arkansas Soft Pine Bureau, this is the Alexander Stewart in Highland Park, IL, which Seyfarth designed in 1913 (see gallery picture 10 below).

The house of noted author and journalist Bert Leston Teylor yilda Glenko, IL. In her memorial to Taylor (B.L.T.), Eleanor Jewett had this to say "...Among his proudest possessions was his home in Glencoe, Ill, a house of comfortable proportions ... this type of house is one of the most attractive that the North Shore boasts. It is, on the surface, a homey home".^[108] The photograph above is from her March, 1921 article, and first appeared in The Home You Longed For. It was also used in an ad for the Creo-Dipt Company.^[109]

Advertisement for the Schick-Johnson Company that appeared in the December, 1910 edition of Arxitektura yozuvlari jurnal. The company created the paneling for the Florentine Room, which Seyfarth designed for the north tower of the Congress Hotel in downtown Chicago. The building was designed by Clinton Warren and opened in 1893 as an annex to Adler and Sullivan's Auditorium Hotel (1889) to accommodate guests from the World's Columbian Exposition. In 1912 the Florentine Room was the site of discussions between Teodor Ruzvelt and his opponents that resulted in the creation of Roosevelt's Bull Moose Party.^[110]

During his career, Seyfarth's work appeared in magazines and journals and in the advertisements of various architectural supply firms. The extent to which this was done is not entirely known, but articles by Eleanor Jewett (1892–1968), art critic for the Chicago Tribune ("Cape Cod Architecture seen in B.L.T.'s Home" discussing the Taylor house at 92 Dell Place in Glencoe, Illinoys ) va Gerbert Kroli ning Arxitektura yozuvlari ("The Local Feeling in Western Country Houses", October, 1914, which discusses the Kozminski and McBride houses in Highland Park at 521 Sheridan Road and 2130 Linden, respectively) survive to give us some idea of how Seyfarth's work was received during the time he was practicing. (Croly would later go on to become the founding editor of Yangi respublika jurnal.^[111]) Additionally, photographs of houses he designed appeared in G'arbiy me'mor magazine a number of times in the 1920s. Also surviving are copies of advertisements from the Arkansas Soft Pine Bureau (see image, right), the California Redwood Association (again with the McBride House), the Pacific Lumber Company (featuring the Churchill house in Highland Park at 1375 Sheridan Road), The Creo-Dipt Company (see image, left), the White Pine Bureau, the American Face Brick Association and the Styuart temir ishlari Company of Cincinnati (with a picture of the H. C. Dickinson house at 7150 S. Yale in Chicago). In 1908, his Prairie-style house for Dickinson was published in Uy chiroyli jurnal.^[96] 1918 yilda,^[112] the Arkansas Soft Pine Bureau released a 32 page portfolio featuring houses built from Seyfarth's designs. Included were photographs, floor plans, bills of material, an estimate of the costs, and a brief description of important features. Nomlangan The Home You Longed For, the booklet was announced in Building Age Magazine under the heading "New Catalogs of Interest to the Trade".^[113] Although generally unavailable today, it must have enjoyed a wide circulation in its time. It was acquired the following year for the collection of the Karnegi kutubxonasi ning Pitsburg,^[114] and referred to that same year in an illustrated article that appeared in Printerlarning siyohi har oy ^[115] entitled "The Loose-Leaf Portfolio - an Aid to Reader Interest", where it was described as "...a very attractive loose-leaf portfolio" and as a successful example of its type of publication.^[116]

The last known example of Seyfarth's work to be published during his lifetime appeared in the September, 1948 edition of Uyni saqlash yaxshi jurnal. The "Little Classic"^[117] was an expandable ranch that the magazine had commissioned which it noted featured "...a cornice [that] is pure sculpture - no jackscrews of mingled mouldings [to] confuse its clean profile." The illustrated article also pointed out that "...the porch at the head of the garden is reached through paired French doors from both the living and dining rooms."^[118] - even in this late example of Seyfarth's work the abstracted design and covered exterior living space continued to be important elements of the composition.

With a long history of having his work published, Seyfarth was following the example of George Washington Maher, who was widely published during his career. Articles by Maher and about him appeared regularly in publications that included Western Architect, Ichki me'mor, Arxitektura yozuvlari va San'at va bezak.

Notes on the pictures

• 1.) The first Robert Seyfarth house. This simple Prairie School house was built while Seyfarth was still working for George Washington Maher.^[119] The older architect's influence is clearly evident here, down to the use of a Maher hallmark, the lion's head, which appear here as brackets to "support" the second floor uxlab yotgan ayvon balkon. Seyfarth had used this feature shortly before in his design for the cabinetry and fireplace for the Samuel Nickerson house (now The Richard H. Driehaus Museum) at 25 East Erie Street in Chicago, which Maher renovated for Lucius Fisher in 1900-1901. A 1904 photograph in the collection of the library at Leyk o'rmon kolleji shows this house with the apertures of the sleeping porch only screened in the manner of the front porch of his second house in Highland Park, suggesting that Seyfarth also intended this building's now-enclosed counterpart on the Ellis house in Beverly to be open to the weather, as was the sleeping porch on the Dickenson house in the Chicago neighborhood of Greater Grand Crossing (see item #2 below). The photo also shows Seyfarth's use of a striated pattern in the shingles on the roof that Maher would use in 1907 on the Henry Schultz house in Winnetka, Illinois and the Kenilworth Club (in Kenilvort, Illinoys ), and on occasional other projects over the years.

The house could be a study for the Ernest J. Magerstadt house which Maher built at 4930 S. Greenwood Avenue in the Kenwood neighborhood of Chicago in c.1908.^[120] It appeared in the background of tortishishlarni o'rnatish 2011 yilda "Yangi chiziq" kinoteatri film Marosim, qaysi yulduzcha Entoni Xopkins va Kolin O'Donoghue.

The Dickinson house as it appeared in an advertisement for the Stewart Iron Works Co. in the February 1909 edition of Uy va bog '.

• 3.) H.C. Dickinson house. This is the first Robert Seyfarth house, writ large, in brick and stone. Although the sleeping porch on the second floor has been enclosed in a manner not in keeping with the style of the house, this house is otherwise also very similar in composition to the John Ellis ^[121] house in Beverly Hills, Chicago (1908), which shows that Seyfarth, like many of his profession, felt free to copy himself to develop, refine or expand upon an idea further for another client when necessary. Note that the house retains the wrought iron fence that appeared with it in the 1909 ad for the Stewart Iron Works Co. (see left).
• 4.) Kenneth Bullard house. The house is shown here as it appeared in the November 1912 edition of The Canadian Builder and Carpenter jurnal. The picture and accompanying text were included under the heading "Two Prize Concrete Block Buildings – Editorial Correspondence" as a result of the house's having won a competition sponsored by the Ideal Concrete Block Machinery Company of London, Ontario va Saut-Bend, Indiana. The house was described as "An Artistic Bungalow constructed of stucco and concrete block", and a brief description was given that included its dimensions, number of rooms and structural details. It was noted that the house was completed for $6,500.^[122] Today it is remodeled beyond recognition.
• 5.) H.S. Crane house. Maher's influence is clearly still evident in the design of this early house.
• 6.) Maurice Kozminski house. Faxriy legion winner Maurice W. Kozminski ^[123] was a mortgage banker with the Chicago firm Kozminski and Yondorf, and was the General Western Agent for the Compagnie Générale Transatlantique^[124] from the age of 23 until 1916 when he was called to New York to assume the position of Director General of Passenger Traffic for the line.^[125]

Pictures of the house appeared in Arxitektura magazine in 1917^[126] va Arxitektura yozuvlari in October 1914. Here it was described as follows:

"...These [Midwest country] houses almost uniformly give the impression of being built for people of refinement who take a keen interest in making their homes attractive, and who have to that end sought the advice of competent architects. One of the most attractive of these houses is that of Mr. W. [sic ] Kozminski, at Highland Park, Ill. Its architect, Mr. Robert Seyfarth, has charmingly adapted the proportions and lines of an Italian villa to a contemporary American suburban residence; a formal treatment model has been converted into a comparatively informal modern residence, with a large enclosed porch and with none of the landscape gardening which is ordinarily needed to bind the house to the site.^[127]".

The image above shows the house as it appeared in the article for Arxitektura yozuvlari. It has subsequently been demolished.

The second Robert Seyfarth house, 542 (now 1498) Sheridan Road, Highland Park, Illinois. 1911 yil

• 7.) The second Robert Seyfarth house. The picture to the left shows the house as it appeared in 1911,^[128] before any additions were made to it by Seyfarth or subsequent owners. The picture above shows the house as it appeared in 1981 with changes made by Seyfarth - in 1920 he added the garage and the defis in between, and in about 1922 he enclosed the front porch, which runs across the front of the house and is screened in the 1911 photo. With the gambrel roof, wood shingle siding and other elements of traditional design, the house makes a distinct break with the stylistic influence of Maher. Today it has later additions that have been sympathetically designed to respect Seyfarth's original intention.
• 8.) Daniel and Maude Eisendrath house. Daniel Eisendrath was a prominent Chicago surgeon and a professor of surgery at the University of Illinois. He was also a noted writer and the author of two textbooks on clinical anatomy and surgical diagnosis.^[129] The house was built in 1904 according to plans created by the architect Henry Leopold Ottenheimer (1868–1919), who early in his career had worked at the office of the celebrated Chicago architectural firm of Adler va Sallivan along with Frank LLoyd Wright. (Ottenheimer's time there may best be remembered by some as having been the person who stabbed Wright in the back with a drafting knife during a scuffle.).^[130] After time spent furthering his studies in Paris, Ottenheimer returned to Chicago and established his own practice, which operated under the name of Ottenheimer, Stern & Reichert. It was during that time that he persuaded the young Rudolph Shindler to come from Vienna to work in his office.^[131] Seyfarth was called upon by the Eisendraths to submit drawings to renovate the house in 1910, and the building permit for the work was taken out on April 30 of that year.^[132]
• 9.) Samuel E. Thomason house. The composition and the stucco finish, casement windows, and tile roof shows that Seyfarth owes a debt of inspiration to Xovard Van Doren Shou Buning uchun San'at va qo'l san'atlari dizayn.
• 10.) Alexander Stewart house. This house is seen by some as being among the architect's finest. With the imaginative use of traditional materials and non-traditional geometry, Seyfarth made the Colonial Revival his own.^[133] The house features a modern convenience that was a common feature in Seyfarth's frame houses in this style - the wooden shutters are functional and operate with a crank from the inside of the house.
• 11.) 2064 W. Pratt Blvd. Note the symmetrical pavilions attached to the east and west ends of the house, a device used by Seyfarth a year earlier at the Alexander Stewart house in Highland Park (see gallery picture 10).
• 12.) Lawrence Howe house. Here Seyfarth gives a nod to the New York architectural firm of McKim, Mead & White, and particularly to their forward-thinking early work, namely the Preston Hall Butler house in Sent-Jeyms, Nyu-York ^[134] (by Stanford White, 1878, enlarged c. 1881) and the Uilyam Low house in Bristol, Rhode Island (1887, demolished 1962). McKim, Mead & White would soon "abandon simplicity and its hidden potential",^[135] but Seyfarth would pay homage to it here and for the rest of his career. The house is shown here as it appeared in February, 1920 issue of G'arbiy me'mor jurnal.^[136]
• 13.) 700 Greenwood Ave. Although not particularly large, this house presents an impressive façade to the street by virtue of its correct proportion, commanding front entrance, slate roof and lack of clutter brought on by extraneous detail that would tend to make the house seem smaller by breaking up its clean geometry. With the use of inverted dormers, Seyfarth is free to locate windows on the second floor without having to give consideration to the protuberances that would result with conventional dormers.
• 17.) The Krueger Funeral Home. In 1913 Seyfarth had designed a house two blocks farther north on Greenwood Avenue for Robert Krueger, whose family had founded the funeral home in 1858. The funeral home was designed to look like a house to blend in with the residential architecture that surrounded it in Blue Island's "silk stocking" district. The Krueger and Seyfarth families were related by marriage. (The building was used inside and out in the 2006 Paramount rasmlari film Otalarimizning bayroqlari.)
• 18.) Wagstaff house. In this house Seyfarth shows his affinity for the work of his near-contemporary Howard van Doren Shaw (1869–1926). In its geometry and with Seyfarth's usual simplification of exterior decoration, the house shares a similarity to the Hugh J. McBirney house (1908, 81 W. Laurel, Lake Forest, IL), which "...has more in common with the forms of the hipped roof houses of Wright and the Prairie School". The Wagstaff house also shares the enclosed porches that are an important feature of the McBirney house, and like it "...the house is almost devoid of specific stylistic elements".^[137]

The first John C. Aspley house, 230 Fairview, Glencoe, IL. 1919. Demolished

• 20.) John Cameron Aspley house. Aspley (1888–1969) was the editor of Savdolarni boshqarish jurnali and founder and president of its parent company, Dartnell Corporation of Chicago. In that capacity he was the author of a dozen books on the subject (some of which are still in print). The J.C. Aspley Award and Scholarship, for achievement and excellence in marketing, is named in his honor. He was also active in causes that promoted the public good - for example he served on the Advisory Committee for the College of Commerce and Business Administration at the Illinoys universiteti,^[138] and was the chairman of the Wilson Avenue YMCA Chikagoda.^[139]

Aspley must have been a satisfied client. Seyfarth had designed a house for him at 230 Fairview Road in Glencoe in 1919^[140] ichida paydo bo'lgan G'arbiy me'mor keyingi yil^[141] (see image, left), and an addition to the Dartnell Corporation building at R
avenswood and Leland Avenues in Chicago in 1932.
This house is one of Seyfarth's largest, and sits on a bluff overlooking Lake Michigan. The layout is such that most of the rooms face the lake. The house features the inverted dormer windows that are a hallmark of Seyfarth's work, and lannon-stone walls that are likely the work of Caesar Fiocchi, who was one of a small group of craftsmen that Seyfarth relied upon to interpret his work as he intended. Fiocchi would also have been responsible for the carving over the front door.^[142]

• 21.) Arthur Seyfarth house. This house is another one that features operable exterior shutters. Note the original storm windows, which reproduce the pattern of the muntsinlar on the movable double-hung sash. Note, too, how the inverted dormers here help to maintain the simple geometry of the building. To improve the proportions of this house's large living room, Seyfarth raised its ceiling higher than those of any of the other rooms on the first floor. He inserted built-in drawers into the exterior walls of the second-floor bedrooms beneath the roof to utilize what would otherwise be wasted space and so that the need of case pieces for the storage of clothing was virtually eliminated. This convenience was one that had been promoted by Frank Lloyd Wright in an article in Arxitektura yozuvlari magazine in 1908 "...The most truly satisfactory apartments are those in which most or all of the furniture is built in as part of the original scheme ...".^[143]

• 25.) Russell E. Q. Johnson house Here Seyfarth embraced the chorvachilik uslubi floor plan with his own twist. The house is one of a number of the type that he designed beginning in 1936 (for Dougall Kittermaster at 1415 Waverly Road, Highland Park, demolished), the year before Frank Lloyd Rayt drew up the plans for his first Usonian uy uchun Herbert and Katherine Jacobs, which is credited with inspiring the craze for single-level living that lasted for nearly fifty years.

The George Mahler house, Highland Park, Illinois. v. 1942 (demolished)

The William Schreiber house, Blue Island, IL. 1950 yil

Not all of Seyfarth's buildings have survived. One house at 67th and Yale was demolished in the late 1960s to make way for the construction of Kennedi-King kolleji. The parking lot for the 6th District (Gresham ) police station, built in 1997, occupies the spot where Dr. F.S. Tufts had built a store and offices (at 7754 S. Halsted St.) in 1909.^[144] At least one demolished house continues to live on, in a manner of speaking. Although it was a designated local landmark,^[145] the George Mahler house at 90 Ridge Road in Highland Park (1942) was demolished and replaced with a larger home, but its virtual twin still stands at 12857 S. Maple Avenue in Blue Island, having been built for William Schrieber in 1950, the year of Robert Seyfarth's passing. Ada Luiza Xukstable, Pulitser mukofoti - g'olib bo'lgan me'moriy tanqidchi The New York Times, made this classic observation about the phenomenon in a 1968 article she wrote about the demolition of Frank Lloyd Wright's Imperial mehmonxonasi (1923–1968) in Tokyo: "There is no art as impermanent as architecture. All that solid brick and stone mean nothing. Concrete is as evanescent as air. The monuments of our civilization stand, usually, on negotiable real estate; their value goes down as land value goes up. ... The logic and mathematics are immutable."^[146] Most demolitions of Seyfarth's buildings fall into this category - they're torn down with little fanfare to be replaced by larger homes and buildings.

There is one notable exception. The Hubbard/Brach house, which stood at 595 Sheridan Road in Winnetka, IL, was demolished in 2001 by a developer over the strong objections of local historians and the Illinoysning diqqatga sazovor joylarni saqlash bo'yicha kengashi.^[147]The property had a hat trick in the arsenal for its defense that should have prevented it from being razed, but Winnetka had a weak landmark ordinance that required the owner's consent before a proposed landmark could be designated.^[148]
The house sat on a three acre lot overlooking Lake Michigan. It was built c.1854, and in 1871 had become the home of Gilbert Hubbard, a founding father of the town and the developer of a large section of it that today is called Hubbard Woods.^[149] The house was sold in 1924 to Edwin Brach (an heir to the Braxniki candy fortune), who with his family owned the house until 1999, when it was sold to George Garrick, who had become wealthy as an internet venture capitalist. At the time the Brach family bought it, the house underwent a significant renovation that was designed by Seyfarth, at which time it was extensively remodeled and increased in size to 11 rooms. All of this notwithstanding, Garrick felt the house had no architectural or historic value and his only apparent interest in the property was in the land on which it was located. Shortly after coming into possession of it he requested a demolition permit for the house so that the property could be sub-divided for two new houses. Without a strong preservation ordinance, the village was powerless to stop the demolition, and after fruitless attempts were made to come to some other accommodation the permit was granted and the house was demolished. In the end, Garrick never developed the parcel. The basement of the old house was filled in and the lot was allowed to return to its natural state. He later sold the property for a $500,000 loss and returned to California.^[150]

The diagram above illustrates the difference between the amount of sunlight that penetrates into an interior space when an inverted dormer (top) is used compared to the use of a traditional dormer.

Although considered a revivalist architect, Seyfarth's designs were not pedantic copies of existing work or even typical examples of the revival architecture that was popular at the time. Despite the fact that his design aesthetic was more traditional than that of his previous employer, Seyfarth had absorbed many of Maher's (and the Prairie School's) ideas and incorporated them into his own architectural philosophy. His buildings provided their owners with architecture that offered the most up-to-date conveniences and floorplans that were considered modern - but that was carefully imbued with the warmth and character of earlier times. From his introduction to The Home You Longed For -

"These few old world standards, rightly employed, have become completely molded to fit our present conditions so that ... our modern examples are not imitations, but rather developments of early principals ... With such a rich inheritance handed down to us, why should not all our homes be of this sort, examples of these splendid former types which were fashioned on sound principles beyond reason for change of design and possessing an artistic grace from which future generations may gather lasting inspiration - made to live in and adorned to please - such should be the enduring qualities of the typical American home of today." ^[151]

Here he reiterated the thoughts that the architect and writer John Wellborn Root had expressed in a paper he read to an audience at the Chicago Architectural Sketch Club in 1887 that later appeared in Ichki me'mor (February, 1888, pp. 3–5):

"Now, in America, we are free of artistic traditions ... A new spirit of beauty is being developed and perfected, and even now its first achievements are beginning to delight us. This is not the old thing made over; it is new. It springs out of the past, but it is not tied to it; it studies the traditions, but it is not enslaved by them. It is doing original work, and it will do more.^[152]"

Seyfarth's adaptation of "old world standards" to suit modern taste was done in several ways. First of all, Seyfarth flooded his interiors with natural light. What made this possible in the principal rooms of the first floor were the floor-length windows, which here and elsewhere were frequently wider than what might be acceptable to Palladio, but that were always in proportion to the building of which they were an element. On the upper floors where inverted dormers were used, sunlight is allowed to come directly into the room since the tunnel to the outdoors that is created by the ceiling of a convention dormer and half the area of the cheek walls is virtually eliminated (see image above - the angle of the sunlight as shown here is represented as it would be at the vernal and autumnal teng kunlar Chikagoda^[153]). Elsewhere, bays and banks of windows were frequently included to offer the same benefit.

Another device that was sometimes used quite dramatically by Maher (see image, upper left) that is a signature feature of Seyfarth's work is the embellishment of the front door as the main decorative feature of the house, usually to the exclusion of everything else on the building. This allowed for the buildings' geometry and finish materials to speak for its architectural style, and act as a counterpoint to what was seen, especially then, as the fussiness of the architecture of the previous three quarters of a century. Here he was practicing what Root and Louis Sullivan had preached:

"The value of plain surfaces in every building is not to be overestimated. Strive for them, and when the fates

place at your disposal a good, generous sweep of masonry, accept it frankly and thank God."^[154]

– From a paper read by Root before the Chicago Architectural Sketch Club, January 3, 1887 and later published in Ichki me'mor.

va

"...I take it as self-evident that a building, quite devoid of ornament, may convey a noble and dignified sentiment by virtue of mass and proportion. It is not evident to me that ornament can intrinsically heighten these elemental qualities. Why, then, should we use ornament? Is not a noble and simple dignity sufficient? ... I should say that it would be greatly for our esthetic good if we should refrain entirely from the use of ornament for a period of years, in order that our thought might concentrate acutely upon the production of buildings well-formed and comely in the nude ... This step taken, we might safely inquire to what extent a decorative application of ornament would enhance the beauty of structures - what new charm it would give them ... We shall have learned, ... that ornament is mentally a luxury, not a necessary, for we shall have discerned the limitations as well as the great value of unadorned masses." ^[155]
– From an article by Sullivan entitled "Ornament in Architecture" published in Muhandislik jurnali 1892 yilda.

Having worked in the frequently austere style of Maher for a "period of years", Seyfarth was ready to work with traditionally inspired ornament, judiciously applied.

And as stylistically different as Seyfarth's work is from the work of Frank Lloyd Wright, Seyfarth embraced Wright's feeling that

"...We no longer have an outside and an inside as two separate things. Now the outside may come inside and the inside may and does go outside. They are ning each other."^[156]

Seyfarth frequently designed outdoor living space that was under the protective roof of the house but exposed its occupants to the benefits of fresh air and sunlight (see gallery images 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 9, 10, 11, 12, 14, 16, 18, 19, 20, 21 and 24, although some have been subsequently enclosed.) And the centrally located fireplaces that Wright espoused, along with their prominent chimneys, were to become a major feature of Seyfarth's work.

One feature of the current age, the ubiquitous attached garage (the successful inclusion of which apparently continues to confound architects today), was frequently incorporated into the design of the main house with such skill one observer noted that "...Norman peasants must have been driving automobiles since the Conquest." ^[157]
