More Info
When leaning at full stretch out of the window of this hotel Tim could see the Chrysler building, so characteristically synonymous with the city of New York and Manhattan itself.
The hotel room had a phone of which Tim used for two mornings to persuade the Chrysler management to allow him three hours unrestricted access to explore the building
The Chrysler building was designed by William Van Alen and owned by Walter P. Chrysler. The building is synonymous with the glitz and glamour of the era with both the excesses and depression of the years in which it was built.
It occupies a central Manhattan position and with its spire, was the tallest building in the world for a short time. The building boasts an iconic spire and sunburst design.
This is cruciform groin vault constructed of seven radiating, terraced arches. These arches are mounted one on top of the other.
This model shows the building above the eagle terraces. It shows the terraced crown of the Chrysler building. The model is finished using white gold, moon gold and yellow 22 carat gold leaf.
On the lowest levels of the model lead sheet has been applied over the plaster. The model shows two faces with a flat hollowed back finished with hand-made glass. The model is presented on a 10” x 10” metal plate to give it stability.
Each model is supplied with an account of how Tim gained access to the building and what he found on the highest floors. It was as if the Prohibition Party had just finished. With no plans to work from, Timothy Richards built the model master from multiple photos taken over just a few American trips.
Only recently was he finally able to find the blueprints of the spire used to decorate the walls of an office in Washington.

Design for the Presidents House
Where: Unbuilt
Designed by Thomas Jefferson
When: 1792
Jefferson’s fascination with both Palladio and domes was vividly demonstrated in his proposed design for the United States’ President’s House, submitted anonymously in the 1792 competition for the executive residence.
More Info
Modelled after Palladio’s Villa Rotonda, Jefferson’s scheme closely paralleled the version of the Rotonda published in Giacomo Leoni’s 1715 edition of Quattro Libri.
Although Leoni took liberties with Palladio’s schemes, mainly adding embellishments, the Leoni edition remained Jefferson’s primary authority for Palladianism.
Jefferson’s submission varied from Leoni’s version of the Villa Rotonda in the use of pairs of bays flanking each of porticoes rather than a single bay, and in the use of free-standing columns rather than arches on the sides of the porticoes.

More Info
St Brides Church has always held an association with newspapers; often referred to as ‘The Church of the Journalists’. It is close to the site where the first printing presses were run in the 15th century.
The Church was one of the first to be replaced after the earlier church was burnt to the ground in the Great Fire of London in 1666. It was heavily damaged during the 1940 London Blitz and has gone through extensive restoration.
Prior to the Church’s current incarnation, two earlier churches stood on this site, the earliest was of Roman origin. Sir Christopher Wren designed this renaissance church in his English Baroque style.
It is the second tallest of Wren’s churches after St Paul’s. In the 18th century a local baker, inspired by the multi-tiered steeple of St. Brides was the first to create the tiered wedding cake we recognise today.
