Reviewing original design drawings (many by Community architect Erastus Hamilton), the presentation shows how the different stages of construction fitted together to produce the architectural jewel familiar today.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>On April 29, Elizabeth Crawford addresses &#8220;Albert L. Brockway: An Architectural Career.&#8221; Known locally for the Oneida Ltd. Sales Office near the Mansion House, Brockway (1864-1933) was a classically-trained designer whose numerous residential and commercial projects in the Syracuse area are illustrated in photograph and blueprint. Crawford, an Associate with Crawford &amp; Stearns, Architects and Preservation Planners, has preserved and rehabilitated hundreds of buildings across New York State.<\/p>\n<p>On May 6, Bill Bowen presents &#8220;Ward Wellington Ward: Central New York Architect of the Arts and Crafts Movement.&#8221; Inspired by a wide range of eclectic, early twentieth-century styles, this Syracuse designer (1875-1932) was hailed for his use of handcrafted materials still in evidence in homes near the Mansion House. Bowen, of the Arts and Crafts Society of Central New York, is a recognized authority on Ward, the Stickleys, Frank Lloyd Wright, and the Arts and Crafts phenomenon.<\/p>\n<p>On May 13, Giles Wayland-Smith discusses works by Theodore Skinner (1878-1944), an Oneida Community-born architect who apprenticed with the architectural firm of McKim, Mead and White. Skinner&#8217;s local designs of the early 1900s show a classical bent tastefully adapted to client preference and physical context. A descendant both of Skinner and of the Oneida Community, Dr. Wayland-Smith is an emeritus professor of Allegheny College and long-term trustee of the Oneida Community Mansion House.<\/p>\n<p>The Oneida Community Mansion House is located at 170 Kenwood Ave., Oneida.<\/p>\n<p>For information call 315-363-0745 or visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.oneidacommunity.org\" target=\"_blank\">www.oneidacommunity.org<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a0(Oneida, NY) Join the Oneida Community Mansion House for an informative spring Adult Enrichment Series on successive Wednesdays at 7 p.m. beginning April 22.\u00a0 \u201cBuildings by Design: Your Neighborhood Architects\u201d is free and open to the public and will take place in the Big Hall of the Mansion House.
