Me

I am a twentysomething year old resident of Massachusetts who is a recent graduate of an architecture school in Boston (no, not that one, and not that other one either). I have a passion for architectural history, and want to share what I know. I have been contributing to Wikipedia since 2012.

I am most interested in the architecture of the United States, mostly of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. I welcome all inquiries, and will answer to the best of my knowledge.

My edits

The majority of my edits have to to with architects, architecture and the history of both. I have created a number of new articles on historic architects, and expanded others. I also create articles about buildings or historic sites, including NRHP properties. A lot of what I do simply involves linking articles to others. Currently working on what I call the Simply, Rotten & Foolish project, a deep dive into the work, partners and associates of Shepley, Rutan & Coolidge and its successors. Amongst many, many, many other distractions of course.

My most recent new article is Eaton W. Tarbell (1914–1992), New York City architect.

Some articles I've created

Architects and engineers

Architectural and engineering firms

In the works

If anyone is interested in any of these architects, I have tentative lists of works for these and others, that I would be happy to provide.
