was to save the expense of making spe-

had the benefit of the architectural ex-
perence Of that department. But to the
supervising architect of the Treasury De-
partment falls the great mass of Uncle
Sans building and he it is who Is re-
sponsible for the classes and pes of
those buildings.

The supervising architect. James K
Taylor. has held his present position
for fifteen years The architectural
renaissance in federal building has
been largely due to Mr.. Taylor. When
he came to Office he found that there
was no definite policy on the part Of
the government with relation to its
buildings. When 1t was called upon to
construct a given post Office its designs
depended upon the. current fad In
building or upon the tendencies Of
some given architect to whom this
particular class fell There was no
set standard. The chief and the work
ing force Of the supervising architects
Office had been often changed, and the
nature Of the buildings that were put
up changed accordingly.
But Mr.. Taylor held that government
buildings should be of a given, distinctive
class His view was that little more
than ] per cent Of the people of the ma
tion ever saw the National Capital.
While the people do not see Wash
ington they are familiar with the types
OF tho public buildings because they see
many pictures of them. Mr.. Taylor holds
that federal building wherever located
should be of this given classic type and
should, for that reason, be recognized as
a federal building. The old classic should

be the standard. This was the first
that he should return to given type
of building and erect it. with given varia-
tions wherever the government saw fit
to build.
Aside from making It possible to iden-
tify a government building as such, Mr.
Taylor holds that it iS worth the gov
ernments while to gain whatever prestige
il may among the people through the
buildings that represent it, He holds that
the citizen of given city Will have
more wholesome respect for his govern
a better citizen II the federal buildings in
his section are structures of impressive
dignity and architectural magnificence
This, aside from the constant develop
ment Of better artistic taste on the part
of the whole people.

When Mr.. Taylor came to study the
question of government buildings in the
light of those that had been put up, he
found a few very excellent examples OF
the architecture that most recommendeo
itself. At Quincy, Ill; at Alexandria, Va.
at Springfield, H., and at Osdensburg,

built along the lines of the magnificent
simplicity which most highly recom-

Mr. Taylor took as types OF desirable
post Offices and from them as modern
adaptations and with the old Greek
structures as models he developed the
type of American public building
which is now being erected through

in the larger centers where federal
