Hello Pauline and ARLIS List:
This volume/issue of Architecture is available on Google Books at: http://goo.gl/DQeZeQ. It is not a very hi-quality scan of the original, but the scan does indicate that the original is from the University of Michigan which should be in Mark's neck of the woods. I have extracted the relevant pages from the Google PDF and included them as an attachment for reference.

Enjoy!

ARLIS Friends,

 

Can you please help me with the inquiry below?  I suggested he inquire with the Ryerson and Burnham Libraries at the Art Institute of Chicago or the Avery Architectural Library at Columbia University.  Any other thoughts? Thank you.

Good afternoon Pauline,

 

I am with the relatively newly formed “Historic Ford Estates” which now oversees both the Henry Ford Estate, Dearborn, MI and the Edsel & Eleanor Ford House, Grosse Pointe Shores, MI.  We took ownership of the Henry Ford Estate (historically called Fair Lane) from the University of Michigan a year ago last June.  We are working now on raising many, many dollars for restoration, reinvention, endowment support, etc.  It is currently closed to the public as we conduct our discovery and research.

Specifically, I am overseeing the restoration efforts.  One of the most valuable documents we have uncovered is an article published by the architect, William Van Tine of Pittsburgh, who published an article and images soon after completion of the estate in a magazine called Architecture in March, 1916.  I am attached a poor copy of it for your review.  I have tried to locate an original copy of this magazine but I can find VERY little about the magazine.

 

I was hoping two things…the first if you had any ideas of where I might search to locate an original copy and if you have even heard of this and two, is there a distribution list of colleagues (or your membership) that I might share this quest with as I am sure they would be much more informed than myself.

 

Any assistance or suggestions would be very, very appreciated.

 

Best wishes,

 

Mark
