AMERICAN ARCHITECTURE-
SOME FURTHER ILLUSTRATIONS
FROM THE RECENT EXHIBITION.

TO the series of illustrations accom-
panying Mr, T. P. Bennett's article in
our February issue we now add a few
more which reinforce his observations on
the remarkable exhibition at the head-
quarters of the Royal Institute of British
Architects in London. Domestic archi-
tecture as represented in the exhibition is
dealt with in a profusely illustrated article
in the current issue of The Studio Year
Book of Decorative Art. 000
The exhibition with its array of magni-

ficent photographs and drawings repre-
senting multitudinous types of building
has aroused great interest in this country;
it was hoped that it might be possible to
show the collection in the provinces before
returning to America, but at the time of
writing no arrangements had been made
to this effect. 00000
It is interesting to note that the Royal
Gold Medal of the Institute has this year
been awarded to Mr. Thomas Hastings of
New York. Only twice before, since it
was instituted by Queen Victoria in 1848,
has it been conferred on American archi-
tects, Mr. C. F. McKim having been the
last recipient in 1903. 000
