Version 9.4 of the list (pdf) contains several updates:

  • Rich’s 1912 proposal for the Boscawen Library added. Guy Lowell got the job.
  • Proposed addition to Short Hills Casino added.
  • Charles Hall house information added; confusion remains.
  • Duplication in West 72nd Street projects cleared up.
  • Reference to 165 West 57th removed — no work was done there.
  • Colgate campus building group added speculatively.
