Found this by googling "Emily Butterfield."

Did you know she wrote a book called The Young People's Story of Architecture? (I got a copy via ILL--has her characteristic drawings--haven't really started reading it yet.)

Architecture Lesson


In 1907, Emily Butterfield became the first woman in Michigan to become a licensed architect. She planned 26 churches as well as homes, schools, factories, and stores. She also published a children’s book, Young People’s History of Architecture, to help children learn about her trade...Sharon Sutton has had a very diverse career, including as a noted architect. She was the first African American woman to be promoted to full professor of architecture in the United States, and she was the second African American woman advanced to fellowship in the American Institute of Architects.

I was looking at Barnes and Noble "out of print" store and found this:

How cool would that be???

Wonder if Louise is Mary Louise Snyder??

[greeklawgirl]

It might be Louise Leonard, in which case someone should really think about picking it up. Hmmm....

[AGDee]

If only there was a way to find out who the Louise is. It would still be a cool item to have. I thought about Mary Louise Snyder too, but she's referred to as Mary in everything I've read about her.

Louise Leonard would be cool too. I looked up her bio and she was born in 1919 so in 1933, when the book was published, she'd have only been 14 though. Although, it was geared toward young people, wasn't it? Hmmmm

It's up to $68.82!
I hope that an Alpha Gam has offered that price.
