Comment on Diehl & Diehl Architects, Inc. by Mark Talaba

A number of people are wondering who designed St. Scholastica on Outer Drive. Andy Maglia, whose studio created the great expanses of stained glass work there, was a friend of mine, and I seem to recall him saying that the architect was George Diehl. Unfortunately I can’t find verification of this anywhere. Can you confirm — or if not a Diehl & Diehl project — who did design it?

One place to start would be the subdivision plat map for your property, if it was built in a subdivision. Builders sometimes used the same architects. If you find the builder you might be able to find information from their firm, if they are still in business. Good luck.

We are buying a 1954 home in Lansing and would like to try to find the architect’s name ( or builder). Where is the best place to start?
Thanks

Probably Penn Yan NY, not Ponn Yan as written above.

We have a painting by architect Malcolm Willams. His bio should reflect that he is a fine art painter as well. If his family (Elizabeth above, neighbors along time ago) would like the painting, please contact doverholt@me.com.

Comment on Francis E. Warner by Allison Schaffenburg

Also was the Dow concrete block used in homes specially designed? That is what I am hearing:) I suppose they are referring to the concrete blocks with the styrofoam interior? Did Warner only use these after 1965?

I’m doing casual research on Francis E. “Red” Warner before I purchase a home designed by him in 1960. I’m curious to know what part he played in the Schwartz dome construction in Midland, MI. I have not found a good bio on Warner yet, however I believe he may have also been a licensed engineer. His obituary mentions he was an architectural field engineer in naval shipyards before entering architecture school at Penn State in 1951.
