Architects Ask ContesI
On Best Design for
.Sesqui Buildings

A Nationwide competition for
design of Sesquicentennial build
ings here has been suggested to
the Senate District Committee by
the Washington metropolitan
chapter of the American Institute
of Architects, it was learned today.
The suggestion was made in a
letter to Chairman Nicely of the
District Committee, who is q
member of hte National Capital
Sesquicentennial Commission. The
letter was signed by Paul A. Got
telmann, chapter president.
The letter requested an open
competition for design of the
buildings, under ALA rules, with
a competent jury deciding the
winner.
NeeIy Sees Merit in Plan.
Senator Nicely said he believes
the proposal has merit and that
he plans to confer with other
commission members In the
Senate. They are Senators Nc
Kellar Of Tennessee and Holland
of Florida, Democrats, and Mar
garet Chase Smith, Republican,
of Maine.
It is considered highly prob
able" that the matter will be
held up until the meeting Of the
commission, which now is sched-
uled for around February l at
the White House with President
Truman, chairman, presiding.
The commission has had the
Byrne Organization, Inc. 2607
Connecticut avenue NV as its
architectural, engineering and
management consultants. This
group has prepared preliminary
plans for the sesqui buildings to
be built in Anacostia Park, near
the Armory.
Structures Must Be Temporary.
If a competition were to be held,
the architects would have to know
the size of the available areas and
the building specifications. Under
the Fine Arts Commission ruling,
the buildings must be temporary.
Theodore w. Dominick, secre-
tary of the architects chapter,
said Edward Boykin, director Of
the sesqui commission, was asked
for information on the number of
buildings to be built, their design
and other details. He said Mr..
Boykin told him that such infor-
nation was not then available but
that two days later, the commits
sion came out with the "U. s. A."
designs for the Freedom Fair
buildings.
