CP and the U of D. Parducci produced a large cartouche over the main entrance of a library as well as a few other decorations on the building. A dove can be seen in this picture, and there are more of that sort of thing. More interesting and problematic are the earlier ones, I think 1925 buildings done by maybe Malcomson and Higgenbotham in sort of a Spanish style.

Parducci worked on "Educational Buildings" that year, but (original research - if it drives you crazy DO NOT READ ON) were those the ones? I'm always looking for a second opinion. Carptrash 22:40, 1 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Untitled[edit]

I don't know much at all about architectural styles, but I always was struck by, like you say, the Spanish looking roofs on alot of UDM buildings. I added these pics to the article for the school since it had no pictures and could use the two above. It's possible I might get around to getting a few pics of the clock tower there, but for now, these are an improvement. --Mikerussell 04:12, 2 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

That is a very interesting box[edit]

at the bottom of the article, but not all the folks mentioned, locals and visitors, were architectural sculptors. MCP Stratton for sure was not, Herbert Adams too, and even DC French - tho he did do architectural sculpture, did not, I think, do any in Detroit. However I'd rather leave it as is rather than annoy someone by making heavy handed edits. Any thoughts? Carptrash (talk) 18:37, 10 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, nav box updated.Thomas Paine1776 (talk) 19:16, 14 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I cut this out and moved it here[edit]

Maccabees Building, because I believe that if Parducci did anything on this building it was a few grotesque heads hardly noticable and not the notable sculpture around the entrance. Einar aka Carptrash (talk) 15:08, 12 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I just cut this out[edit]

"* Standard Savings and Loan in Ann Arbor"

because I am not sure what it is, but am pretty sure that Parducci did nothing there. Please let us know why you do think that. Carptrash (talk) 22:16, 28 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I cut this out of the Detroit Masonic Temple section[edit]

because it has nothing to do with Parducci.

"William F. Gurche had the contract for the exterior sculpture. Henry Steinman, a New York sculptor working in the Detroit studio of William F. Gurche, sculpted the Tylers on the four towers of the Ritual Building. Leo Friedlander, a New York sculptor and 1913 winner of the Rome Prize, was paid $1,100.00 to sculpt the three figures– King Solomon, King Hiram and Hiram Abiff– over the Ritual Tower entrance. All the light fixtures were custom-made by the Sterling Bronze Company of New York. The lighting fixtures in the lodges, hallways, and foyers were designed for the tasks at hand."
