<p>The house was the Monmouth County Junior League Designer Show House in 1997.  Around that time, apparently, Stanford White began to be named as the architect.  There are several reasons to believe that Charles A. Rich was the architect, including the appearance of the house.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>What&#8217;s new in version 7.7 of  the list?   (<a href="http://www.dartmo.com/lambandrich/buildings.pdf">pdf</a>)</p>
<ul>
<li>Two unidentified photos published in the <i>Inland Architect</i> a century ago and recently put on line as part of the Ryerson &#038; Burnham Digital Collections of the School of the Art Institute of Chicago have been identified: the Georgian brick house (<a href="http://digital-libraries.saic.edu/cdm4/item_viewer.php?CISOROOT=/mqc&#038;CISOPTR=12576&#038;CISOBOX=1&#038;REC=3">SAIC image</a>) was built for Charles Hathaway at 155 Prospect Street (1896), while the &#8220;Renaissance&#8221; stone house (<a href="http://digital-libraries.saic.edu/cdm4/item_viewer.php?CISOROOT=/mqc&#038;CISOPTR=12600&#038;CISOBOX=1&#038;REC=2">SAIC image</a>) was built at 92 Harrison Street (1901).  Neither stands today.
</li>
<li>Lorenzo Wheeler&#8217;s and Herbert Chivers&#8217;s unbuilt design for the Cote Brilliante Presbyterian Church in St. Louis is now mentioned.
</li>
<li>Corrections: W.H.H. Jones&#8217;s name has been corrected from James, and Mount Morris Bank is now correctly sited in Manhattan instead of Brooklyn.
</li>
<li>Caroline and Gustav Schwab&#8217;s cottage in Tuxedo Park has been identified, and it appears to stand today on West Lake Road at Mountain Farm Road (aerial below).  This can&#8217;t be confirmed using Google Street View, of course:

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It is not reflected in the short version of the building list, but the client for Wheeler&#8217;s two tenements at 159 and 161 East 90th has been identified: John F. Gleason, the well-known billiards man and keeper of one of the city&#8217;s best pool rooms, in the Bowery.  The 1880 Census describes his occupation as &#8220;liquors,&#8221; but everywhere else he was a &#8220;roomkeeper.&#8221;  He lived next door to his building project.  </p>
<p>Version 7.6 of  the list (<a href="http://www.dartmo.com/lambandrich/buildings.pdf">pdf</a>) also incorporates this new information:</p>
<ul>
<li>Wheeler&#8217;s design of a house at 35 East 68th Street (past two typos in the source and an 1899 demolition);
</li>
<li>a tentative attribution of Charles A. Frank&#8217;s 1904 &#8220;Charlou House&#8221; in Glen Cove; and
</li>
<li>a confirmation (via Howard Major&#8217;s later work) of the firm&#8217;s design of William Dick&#8217;s 1888 house in Islip, &#8220;Allen Winden&#8221; or &#8220;Allen Winden Farm.&#8221;

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Vandervoort bought the property around 1880; the author of his 1882 house has now been identified.  This project could suggest the means by which Theodore Roosevelt learned about the firm before he built his house in Oyster Bay.</p>
<p>Version 7.5 of  the list (<a href="http://www.dartmo.com/lambandrich/buildings.pdf">pdf</a>) also identifies the six houses the firm designed for Gerald L. Schuyler at 307 West 83rd Street and 481-489 West End Avenue.  At least two of these survive, one of which is mentioned by Christopher Gray in &#8220;<a href=http://www.nytimes.com/2009/02/01/realestate/01scape.html?_r=1&#038;ref=realestate">The School of the Stepped Gables</a>,&#8221; <i>New York Times</i> (30 January 2009).</p>
<p>Other new citations include:</p>
<ul>
<li>an alteration to Elizabeth Milbank&#8217;s house at 6 East 38th by her daughter, Elizabeth M. Anderson;
</li>
<li>some interesting hotel alterations at 53-59 West 42nd Street for the New York Real Estate and Building Improvement Company, another Ferdinand Fish production; and
</li>
<li>a confirmation of the firm&#8217;s 1916 alteration of the Educational Building, now apparently the <a href="http://www.newschool.edu/johnsondesigncenter/">Sheila C. Johnson Design Center</a> of the Parsons School of Design.
</li>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Version 7.4 of  the list (<a href="http://www.dartmo.com/lambandrich/buildings.pdf">pdf</a>) corrects W.H.H. Jones to W.H.H. James and clarifies the Henry R. Mallory projects in Greenwich somewhat.  Of the three Mallory houses built in a row on Byram Shore beginning around 1884, only the middle one, that of Henry, appears to survive:</p>
<p><center><iframe width="425" height="350" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" src="http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&amp;source=s_q&amp;hl=en&amp;geocode=&amp;q=Byram+Shore+Road,+Greenwich,+CT&amp;aq=0&amp;sll=37.0625,-95.677068&amp;sspn=54.269804,95.449219&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;hq=&amp;hnear=Byram+Shore+Rd,+Greenwich,+Connecticut&amp;t=k&amp;ll=40.993002,-73.65354&amp;spn=0.001417,0.00228&amp;z=18&amp;output=embed"></iframe></p>
<p>
<i>Henry R. Mallory house.</i></center></p>
<p>Part of the confusion comes from the suggestion in a recent Greenwich book that Charles Mallory&#8217;s son <i>Clifford</i> replaced Charles&#8217;s original 1885 house, &#8220;Clifton.&#8221;  One of Charles&#8217;s sons, probably Robert, apparently did replace &#8220;Clifton,&#8221; but it was not Clifford Day Mallory.  Clifford was the grandson of Charles Mallory and the son of Henry R. Mallory, the one whose house survives.</p>
<p>(Compare the recent <a href="http://books.google.com/books?id=XUxLAAAAYAAJ&#038;q=%22was+the+first+of+the+great+estates+that+once+populated+Byram+Shore%22&#038;dq=%22was+the+first+of+the+great+estates+that+once+populated+Byram+Shore%22&#038;hl=en&#038;ei=OrORTcookYS2B_G61Eg&#038;sa=X&#038;oi=book_result&#038;ct=result&#038;resnum=1&#038;ved=0CCgQ6AEwAA">Sotheby&#8217;s catalog</a>, which claimed that &#8220;Clifton&#8221; still stood.  The site of &#8220;Clifton&#8221; is visible to the north of the Henry R. Mallory house in the photo above.) </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Version 7.3 of  the list (<a href="http://www.dartmo.com/lambandrich/buildings.pdf">pdf</a>) clears up the addresses of the nine houses the firm developed at 290-298 West End Avenue and 254-260 West 74th Street and identifies &#8220;Easterly,&#8221; the George F. Dominick house on Field Point Circle in Greenwich, Conn. (1902).  This one still stands, and <a href="http://www.robertdeanarchitects.com/projects/bhrevival.html">images</a> of recent renovations show how much the house shares with the contemporary <a href="http://www.dartmo.com/views/westside/collis4.html">College Hall</a> at Dartmouth.</p>
<p>The list is now one step closer to locating Augustus Libby&#8217;s house in Summit, N.J.  The property was known as &#8220;Finisterre,&#8221; and its preferred street address appears to have started out on Springfield Avenue and later shifted to Beekman Place.  The Benziger family owned it after the Libby family.</p>
<p>Alex Hanson, in &#8220;<a href="http://www.vnews.com/01152011/7543681.htm">Building by Building</a>,&#8221; <i>Valley News</i> (15 January 2011), refers to</p>
<blockquote><p>a book about Lamb &#038; Rich, a New York architecture firm that designed nearly two dozen buildings for Dartmouth when it expanded dramatically at the beginning of the 20th century.
