Welcome, Friends!

Welcome to this series of thoughts and reflections on architectural history, the Christian journey and life in general.

My hope is that you will find ideas here that will be helpful to you, or that will be an encouragement for you.





If you are interested in architectural history, and especially the historic architecture of Central Florida, I believe you will find much here that you will enjoy. I have researched the Orlando architects of the 1920s and am the leading expert on the career of Isabel Roberts. An article about her appears here.

I have also written the most thorough biography of Susan Lee Crabbe Hunt, the Pittsburgh heiress whose will established the Pitcairn Crabbe Foundation. You will find it here.
Also, I write hymn texts and you can find some samples of them at this blog:

I hope you will let me know what you think of what you find in these postings by posting a comment. Or by using the feature at the end of the post for fast "reactions" feedback. Just click the box that is closest to how the post strikes you.

Blessings,

- John
