Introduction to Beaux-Arts

The style expresses the academic neoclassical architecture taught at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris. It is the cumulative product of two-and-a-half centuries of instruction under the authority, first, of the Académie Royale D’Architecture (1671–1793), then, following the French Revolution of the late 18th century, of the Architecture section of the Académie des Beaux-Arts. The… Read More

It was right then that Weylin intervened in the conversation and mentioned to Mr. Albany that he knew a lady who would be perfect for him. It seemed as if he knew it right away; he said he had a special feeling about it. In the beginning both Albany and the barber laughed at him, but he… Read More

Nevertheless, the day came when there was no choice but accepting the… Read More

On to the Arts & Crafts

The Weylin Story (Chapter 3)

As opposed to the streets’ chaos, Weylin grew up in a very quiet and cozy Dutch colonial gambrel roof house. He loved drawing and writing stories, and sometimes helped his mother with the cooking.

The Weylin Story (Chapter 2)

Seymour was not only the last “New Netherlander” or “New Amsterdammer” but also the very first “New Yorker”. He was a social, cultural and political hinge of flesh and blood himself. It was the… Read More
