an architect and some OF his buildings
were far from beautiful.
Not many years after his farm work
had increased the efficiency of the mill

change set in and more artistic thoughts
in the designs for buildings for farming

their usefulness.
Perhaps the first architect to show
the possibilities for good architectural
effect combined with agrarian structur-

had been employed in Burnett's Office.

has become one of the leading designers
of American farm buildings.
