File folder containing over 50 offprint clippings for sail plans newspaper clippings 4 TLS & ALS 2 on letterhead 1 5 x 7 in. photo of Mabry and more. These extraordinary sail plans designs specifications and clippings trace the career arc of a marine architect career with some of the most significant yacht and ship designers in New York and Boston and Southern California. Mabry 1882-1949 launched his career with the storied Gardner & Cox Naval Architects of New York later William Gardner as chief draftsman and later inspector for the firm. He was responsible for designing the earliest version of the Star Class keelboat which produced a large chunk of the top U.S. sailors for years and served as pipeline for training America’s Cup Racers as one of the older one-design classes. His initial design made its regatta debut on Long Island in the Spring of 1907 which was then adapted by storied designer Francis Sweisguth who adapted the size of the hull and sail plan. This archive includes the blueprint Hull Body Plan Lines and Sail Plan for the Cyric a Class “S†32 foot sloop built for Eldon H. Trimingham which raced for the LIpton Cup on Gravesend Bay and later carried the Trimingham colours until the Royal Bermuda Yacht Club brought in a fleet of seven one-design sloops in 1925. It later raced in the 1930 International Yacht Races. Also included are the Block List Body Plan and Lines for Hull No. 254 by Gardner which was a 46 foot Class “S†finished in 1912 originally for Seward Prosser who also owned the yacht Constance. Of additional significance are the Hull Plans and Specifications for the Larchmont “O†Class sloops built in 1917 with six sister ships -- Georgia Varuna Nimbus Grey Dawn Maisie and Betty with all except for the Varuna fitted with Gaff rigs. The Varuna fitted with a groundbreaking Marconi Rig proved to be the fastest design at the close of World War I. The tragic Sea Call one of yachting’s greatest schooners as well as one of its greatest lost opportunities is well represented here including the Main Mast Head Mizzen Mast Head Sail Plan designs together with the typescript Block List. In the design Gardner specified a combination of vanadium steel and monel metal which resulted in violent electrolysis and within three weeks of her first sea trial the decision was made to scrap her. She was designed to hold 10-12 guests with a private owner’s deckhouse. During World War I subsequent to working on the Larchmont “O†Class for Gardner Mabry contracted with J.F. Duthne & Co. in Seattle as chief draftsman and after the War set up in Los Angeles as a Naval Architect. While working for the Los Angeles Shipbuilding & Dry Dock Co. he drafted the designs and plans for the Steamers “Yale†& “Harvard†which had originally served as coastal steamers for the Admiral Line with the Pacific Steamship Co. and taken into Government Service during World War I and then purchased and rebuilt by Harry & Ralph Chandler forming the LS Steamship Co. and operating subsequently as popular steamships on the Pacific Coast. SS Yale was later scrapped in 1949. Included with this archive is a manuscript Hull Design signed by Mabry. In 1925 he also designs the plan for a Los Angeles Fireboat with manuscript plan and Mabry’s signature included here dated June 13 1925. He then contracts with the famed yacht designer John G. Alden in Boston. Specifications for No. 274 the Waterline Auxiliary Ketch “Danai†which was designed and built in 1926 built by Kenneth McAlpine of Shelbourne N.S. Canada and was later renamed Wawa Valdora Nira and Polaris. Of significance is the specifications for Hull No. 435 “Puritan†designed by Mabry and commissioned by Edward Brown and built as a 126 foot gaff-rigged schooner. The Yacht still serves as a charter vessel with the Classic Yacht Experience after extended refit in 2015. Sometime between 1929 and 1930 Mabry partners with noted Southern California Naval Architect William Lambie and their partnership would last about two years. The pair would design many power yacht designs including a fast 88 foot cruiser a 55 foot schooner a cruiser for N. Paul Whittier of Hollywood CA and 110 foot steel auxiliary schooner for H. Wilhelm Rohl who also owned at the time the famed Te Vega yacht. They may be best remembered for designing the glass bottomed “Phoenix†the popular sightseeing side-wheeler paddle boat for tourists sightseeing over the undersea gardens of Santa Catalina Island. Lambie 1886-1963 was a Scottish-American Southern California naval architect who had worked with Southwestern Shipbuilding then with the Seacraft Corporation and well known as the designer of the popular Lambie propellers whose efficiency was first recognized when installed on the SS Catalina. The letters included in this archive reflect the impact of the Great Depression and the Stock Market Crash on shipbuilding with the owner of the Philadelphia based Tunnel & Mine Machinery Co. lamenting that “It has been pretty stringent this year but some of my things are showing signs of coming back . . . which may enable me to complete Sapphire Seas.†While the letter sent by Lambie to W.F. McMahon in Riverside California explaining how he unwittingly may have offended Mabry his former partner as well as Mr. McMahon over the proposed design and build of a yacht in 1932. Mabry would remain in Los Angeles until the mid-1930s before moving again to the East Coast to work for the Cramp Shipbuilding Co. in Philadelphia and then later the EB Company in New London CT.

II perished and with old linen tape repair some scuffing edgewear somewhat shaken due to weight of original mylar page sleeves and photos still a VG- set w/ nearly all of the images retaining bright strong contrast. These remarkable photo albums provide a nearly day-by-day time-lapse sequence of 509 photographs tracing the construction of the massive in-house Blue Circle Group cement kiln manufacturing complex at Dunstable Bedfordshire from 1965-1967 to meet fast growing domestic demands. The British economy experienced sustained growth during the decade and oversaw a revolution in transport with private car ownership rising from less than 40% in 1960 to more than 60% by the end of the decade against the backdrop of massive road building and post-War home building boom. The Blue Circle Group decided to demolish fifteen kilns built from 1921-1938 in Dunstable which largely processed Totternhoe Stone between the Chalk Marl and Gray Chalk in their main quarry with a semi-wet kiln A4. The first album opens with photographs capturing the barren site left by the demolition of the former kilns with housing visible in distance and fenced off from the plant. Subsequent images portray heavy equipment and excavators preparing the site digging the footings laying rebar formwork intermixed with curiously artistically composed images capturing nearby rusting equipment partially demolished company structures as the massive kiln towers slowly rise. Blue Circle construction workers are shown pick-axing to finish off forms cover poured concrete and continue the project. The scale of the project is often revealed by the photographer with workers work equipment or vehicles in fore-grounds and back-grounds. The plant featured an onsite rail system which was partially torn out and rebuilt during the project and the excavations and construction appear to have continued apace. The second volume shows processing machinery desiccators trummels cooling towers and vats. Aerial shots in vols. III & IV reveal the size of the project and scope. In addition machinery and heavy equipment suppliers & contractors included Vickers Ltd. S.T. Challis Wimpey Ltd. ARUP and others with the project overseen by Mitchell Construction. The final album which concludes in Feb. 1967 shows the first batches of test product cements produced from the finished semi-wet kiln. Unfortunately the newly constructed A4 kilns would have a very short production life as the Blue Circle Group attempted to retain their dominance in slurry-based processes by removing water from slurry with filter presses and tried to out-innovate the French and German competitors who employed a Lepol Grate system with great success. Unfortunately the component materials proved unsuitable for pressing the in-house Davis preheater had ongoing technical defects and had to be shut down before the 1973 energy crises impacted Great Britain. Bruce Turvey fl. 1950-1985 was a successful commercial photographer who had donated much of his vast store of images to the Dunstable Council before 2000 and well remembered for his “25 Years of Sundtable 1952-1977: Commemorating the Silver Jubilee of HM Queen Elizabeth II in 1977 and reprinted in 2002. The Blue Circle Group was first founded as the Associated Portland Cement Manufacturers Ltd. in 1900 by combining 24 cement works manufacturers later adding 35 companies in 1911 later expanding across the Commonwealth South and Central America and officially changed their name to Blue Circle in 1978. Aspects of the consortium still operate as a subsidiary of CRH plc an Irish Building materials company who purchased the divested portions after the merger of Lafarge and Holcim in 2015.

Oblong 4to. 10 silver gelatin linen-backed photos each w/ printed caption within negative on lower fore-edge 1 sepia-tinted several w/ photographer’s stamp on verso preserved in mylar sleeves. Recent black limp cloth post-binder gilt lettering stamped on front cover NF. This set of architectural photographs of public school projects in Pittsburgh PA document the changing city and landscape in the first three decades of the 20th century. The first image documents the Glenwood School and its annex located at 2nd Ave. and Alluvian and constructed in 1888 in the Richardson Romanesque style with brick facade and updates in 1896 and again in 1916 and demolished after World War II. The next three photos show the different expansion projects for the Larimer School originally designed in the Richardson Romanesque style by Ulysses J. Lincoln Peoples and shows the excavation in 1918 for the addition and then the George Rowland 400 seat auditorium which featured a streamlined Art Deco exterior and was completed in 1932. There are two images showing the excavation and site preparation for the Greenfield School which was delayed by World War I and construction would not be restarted until 1922 and completed in 1923. In addition there are a trio of photographs showing the new building for the Gladstone Elementary School which would turn it into a Junior High School adding 14 classrooms two recreation rooms a swimming pool and two gyms. The building was recently sold by the Pittsburgh School District for $ 250000 to be converted into apartments. The last image shows the beginning construction work on what would eventually become the Taylor Allderdice High School located in Squirrel Hill in 1924. The Hall & Williams Studio would operate until 1947 and are best remembered for their architectural photos in Pittsburgh and Philadelphia PA.

Also present is a September 1932 blueprint negative for a proposed Union Pacific Cafeteria building in Ketchum ID. Harriman foresaw the tremendous potential in developing a skiing destination industry for the Union Pacific during the Great Depression and after hiring Count Felix Schaffgosch to scout locations determined in January 1936 that Ketchum ID would be the ideal spot. The Union Pacific contracted the famed Los Angeles CA architect Gilbert Underwood 1890-1960 who at the time was a key member in the Federal Architecture Project established by Roosevelt during the New Deal. Underwood was well known for designing Union Pacific lodges for the National Park Service including complexes at Cedar Breaks Zion Bryce Canyon North Rim of the Grand Canyon and the famed Ahwahnee Hotel at Yosemite. He would later produce the preliminary designs for the Timberline Lodge WPA project on Mount Hood OR. The large panoramic drawing depicts the historic South elevation of the Lodge as constructed in 1936 scale of 1 in. to 20 feet. The large reproduced plans include those for The First Floor Basement and Foundation Second Floor Third Floor and Fourth Floor and Roof Plan.
