Lorenzo B. Wheeler designed the Hotel Tybee in Georgia

Version 8.5 of the list (pdf) is now set in Bell MT and includes these new items:

  • An attribution for an addition to Mr. Drysdale’s house.
  • A correction for the C.M. Pratt project incorrectly located in Riverhead.
  • A correction for the misattribution of the renovations of the Oriental Hotel: they were done by McKim, Mead & White.
  • A correction for the misnaming of Joseph D. Oliver in Indiana.
  • The inclusion of Massachusetts Hall at Dartmouth, which was left off the list somehow.
  • A correction for the location of the West project in Pittsfield, and an identification of the project as Court Hill (see images, an aerial).
  • An identification at long last of one David Foubister as the client for a 1922 project.
  • An identification but not a location for a house of Horatio M. Adams at Glen Cove of around 1903 (not his ca. 1895 house by Little & Browne).

There are several new projects or confirmations for L.B. Wheeler:

  • The Hotel Tybee in Georgia.
  • A house in Savannah.
  • Several Atlanta public school projects, including the rebuilding of the Crew Street School and the design of a new Mitchell Street School.
  • A failed competition entry for the Sumpter County Courthouse.
  • The Casa Grande hotel (unbuilt?) and a massive Casa Grande stable in Decatur, Alabama.
