Adobe II Adorable,But Todey'l PueblosCen't Build With It

The above headline appeared in theFebruary 4, 1980 issue of the WallStreet Journel. One branch of the bu­reaucratic establishment, from whichfederal rules and funds flow, has sodecreed!

Housing and Urban Development(HUD) officials state that, "None of theclaims for adobe have been proved andwe had no testing procedure to fallback on," in spite of the fact thatadobe (the sun dried briCk) or puddledmud walls have given shelter and com­fort to the residents of the Southwestfor hundreds of years.

"I am convinced HUD was created toavoid building housing," states WilliamHaney, a Santa Fe architect, "Theyhandbook adobe to death with rulesthat don't have any relevance." "Outsid­ers look at adobe as just a slab ofmud that's going to deteriorate," saidCharles Dorame, administrator of Te­suque Pueblo, "But we have adobehomes that have been standing for 700years."

Further, HUD officials complain thatthere isn't any "standard" adobe; theysuggest that brick Quality should beregulated and monitoredl "That's im­possible." argues P. G. McHenry, Jr.,the well known adobe home builder InAlbuquerque. As McHenry rightly ad­Vises, all the testing needed is to seewhether an adobe survives "a drop oftwo feet or so without too much dam­age." It Is beyond the comprehensionof HUD officials to be so simple anddirect. Rather, over $230,000.00 has beengarnered from HUO. two other federalagencies and the State of New Mexicoto study the efficiency of adobe. Moretax money to prove the proven!

Fortunately, William Haney, the San­ta Fe architect Quoted above is direct­ing the study. I suspect that we canhope for sensible results. -JPC

SANTA FE CHAPTER HONORS THEMAYOR AT CHRISTMAS PARTY.

At a gala party celebrating the Yuletide season, themembers of the Santa Fe Chapter, AlA, presentedMayor Arthur Trujillo with a hand crafted "replica"(?) of an oil well pump.

A working model oj Ull original nati ve oil well pump. I

Last summer officials of the State Land Officeerected an oil pump on the front lawn of its Santa Feheadquarters building on Old Santa Fe Trail. MayorTrujillo objected to the pump as not being in keepingwith the spirit of the Santa Fe Historical District Or­dinance. He requested that it be removed; it was not.The Land Office officials responded that the pumprepresented a major industry in New Mexico; it was aneducational exhibit and, thus, was appropriate to beplaced there upon the front lawn.

Mayor Truilllo, left . received the pump award [rom Bernabe /lom ero.

The model pump was presented to the Mayor byChapter President Bernabe Romero, AlA, in recogni­tion of his continuing efforts to save Santa Fe from theon-rushes of twentieth century conformity. JPC

INTERN ARCHITECT PROGRAM ESTABLISHEDIN NEW MEXICO

An Intern Architect Development Program will beoffered to persons preparing for registration as ar­chitects in New Mexico. Randall Kilmer, president ofthe New Mexico Society of Architects, has appointedCharles E. Nolan, Jr. as chairman of a committee todevelop plans for the program, to be submitted to theNMSA Board of Directors.

Of the three major areas in which the competence ofa candidate for architectural registration may beverified - namely, education, experience and examina­tion - only the experience area has lacked a formalmeans of evaluation . To correct this deficiency, theIntern-Architect Development Program (lDP) hasbeen created.

The principal sponsors of the IDP are the NationalCouncil of Architectural Registration Boards and theAmerican Institute of Architects. NCARB is responsi­ble for administering the program. AlA, through itscomponents, provided (1) qualified architects to workwith the Intern-Architects, and (2) supplementarymaterials and activities to expand their experience op­portunities.

The major objectives of the IDP are:- To assist Intern-Architects to better prepare

themselves for their careers as registered ar­chitects.

- To recognize the Intern-Architects' professionaldevelopment by compiling a continuing, com­prehensive record of their internship exper­ience .

- To assure Intern-Architects of a range of ex­periences that will help qualify them to takethe Professional Examination.

The IDP consists of a recordkeeping procedure, anadvisory system, and a supplementary educationalprogram.

The recordkeeping system requires each Intern­Architect in the IDP program to compile and maintaina professional career file in the NCARB offices. TheIDP Record will contain biographical information andverifications from schools, employers, personal/profes­sional references and periodic internship activityreports .

Each registration board has discretion to determinethe qualifications necessary for admission to examina­tion and registration. The IDP is a procedure forassisting Intern-Architects in meeting any board'straining requirements and standards, but does notguarantee admission to examinations. However, inassessing Interns' qualification, registration boardswill have the advantage of examining records that arefully documented .

IDP, when adopted by the New Mexico Board ofExaminers for Architects, will actively involve the In­tern Architect, the Professional Sponsor, and the Pro­fessional Advisor. Also participating in administrationof the program will be NMSA, the Board of Ex­aminers, and NCARB. continued pg. 15 ~

MASON CONTRACTORS ASSOCIATION OF NEW MEXICO8 March-April 1980

If, in the light of the official notice of this meetingyou may be expecting to hear "irrefutable documenta­tion" of the life and times of John and Faith Meem,complete with footnotes; let me reassure you, such isnot the case. Scholarly pedantic, historical documen­tation requires objectivity, and the subject for tonightis not one concerning which this usually pedantic,footnote-happy historian can be completely objective.Besides, others much more knowledgeable in architec­ture, have written of his accomplishments in this field.There is John C. McNary's excellent 1977 Master'sthesis entitled "John Caw Meem: His Style, Develop­ment and Residential Architecture." I especially com­mend to you Arthur Devolder's sensitive article "JohnCaw Meern, F.A.I.A., An Appreciation" in the July,1979 edition of the New Mexico Historical Review. Iunderstand that another definitive account of NewMexico revival architecture, which will, of course,feature his contribution, is in progress . In preparingthis presentation I am especially grateful to BeatriceChauvenet for sharing with me her as yet unpublishedmanuscript ( but I hope unpublished not for long) con­cerning John's role in historic preservation, done inclose cooperation with the subject himself.

To commemorate this special meeting of this veryspecial historic preservation organization, the HistoricSanta Fe Foundation which he and Faith helped in­itiate, I have instead chosen the title of "John CawMeem, Citizen of Santa Fe," because John and FaithMeem have exemplified throughout their lives in thisancient city we all love all the implications of"Citizen," that most honorable designation for freemen since the days of the early Roman Republic some250 years before the birth of Christ. Citizenship in

JohnGawMeem, FAIACitizenofSanta Fe

A talk presented by Dr. MyraEllen Jenkins at the annualmeeting oj the Historic SantaFe Foundation, January 14,1980.

Rome before succeeding military dictatorships andempires meant something special - so special thatwhen later republics broke from monarchies and em­pires the word citizen immediately replaced that ofsubject, as well as that of various ranks of nobility.Citizenship meant equality, not class distinction. Itmeant work and productivity, not idleness, not expen­sive pleasures and habits at the expense of the work ofothers. Citizenship also meant not merely the tacit ac­ceptance of rights and privileges due solely by exisitingin a free society, but a voluntary acceptance of theresponsibility to further the civic life of the communityin accordance with one's talents and abilities as a mat­ter of course, without thought of consideration, favorand least of all without recognition. But perhaps it isfitting for a few minutes to break with the classichistorical definition to acknowledge and recognize thespecial quality of John'S and Faith's citizenship,although as we all know so well, recognition issomething which they have always shunned like theplague. And by the way, I scarcely need to say to thisaudience that whenever I say "John", obviously itusually means "John and Faith."

It was a fortuitous day for Santa Fe in 1920 when ayoung veteran of World War I, victim of the viciousinfluenza epidemic which had culminated in tuber­culosis, fortified only by modest government disabilityexpenses to pay for his treatment, walked into Dr.Frank Mera's Lincoln Street clinic. It was also a for­tuitous day for John. Admitted immediately by thatgood physician into Mera's Sunmount Sanitarium, hejoined many others of diverse talents from everywherewho, in spite of their common malady, made asanitarium into an exciting center of artistic and

literary activity. They were often joined by com­padres, hale and hearty, living on the outside who hadbeen attracted to Santa Fe aft er it had been" rediscovered" following the war.

Believe it or not , John was not an architect then .Son of an Episcopalian mission priest in Brazil, he wasthe fourth-generation John Caw Meem to graduatefrom Virginia Military Institute. This he accomplishedin 1914 with a Bachelor of Science in engineering, thentook an engineering job in New York City, to havesuch a career cut short by the war. Holding reservetraining he was soon promoted to Captain in Infantry.Somehow, this is the one episode in his career which Ifind difficult to believe, in spite of Bea, John Meem amilitary man!

One common interest of these personalities both inand out of the sanitarium was the keen , almost ferviddesire to protect the unique aspects of the age-old In­dian and Hispanic culture and to revive those elementswhich had for a time appeared to have been in dangerof being overwhelmed by the changes brought aboutby rapid economic changes, especially the railroad,and the population explosion of newcomers from otherparts of the United States who insisted on bringingwith them their economic, social and cultural ways.The revival of the indigenous Pueblo-Spanish architec­tural heritage, often as modified by the rather simplechanges known as Territorial made by more discerningAnglos who came in fewer number aft er occupationand before the population explosion , was already infull sway. John was especially perceptive to these in­digenous values and soon began to experiment with ar­chitectural sketching. As soon as his health permitted,at the encouragement of his friends, he went to Denverwhere he came into close contact with the well-knownarchitect Burnham Hoyt, studied fundamentals ofdesign , served as apprentice with the architecturalfirm of Fisher and Fisher, then returned to Santa Fe tobegin a long career in the development ofsouthwestern regional style. In 1927 he was elect ed tomembership in the prestigious American Institute ofArchitects; later to the National Academy of Design.He was not the only architect of the movement, but hewas undoubtedly the most eloquent and certainly themost productive, in building homes, churches,schools, art centers, public buildings, commercialbuildings, which in some cases retained the olderforms and in other perpetuated their enduring valuesin an evolving and evocative matter which recalledand reflected the past, while serving their purpose intheir own time.

The list is long; most of you know them well; I willmention but a few. After returning from Denver in1924 to Sunmount bri efly, then to a small house whichhe purchased nearby, commissions began to come, apartnership with Cassius McCormick briefly and ahome for Mrs. Ashlev Pond, then in 1927 the Full erLodge for the Los Alamos Boys' School, and others . In1929 he was introduced by his sculptor-friend EugenieShonnard to Mrs. Frederick M. P. Taylor, well-knownColorado Springs civic lead er , and shortly commis­sioned by her to design a small memorial chapel; then

came the nearby Fountain Valley School, and finallythe Colorado Springs Taylor Fine Arts Center, com­pleted in 1934, which resulted in a medal from theFifth Pan American Congress of Architects at itsMontevideo meeting and an Honorary Degree fromColorado College in 1936. Much more important thanthese achievement to John, however, was that Mrs.Taylor's niece, Faith Bemis, former Vassar studentand graduate of the Cambridge School of Domesticand Landscape Architecture, was then living in Col­orado Springs, a victim of the Depression which threwmany eastern draftsmen out of employment, and washired by John to assist in drafting the Taylor Fine ArtsCenter plans. When John returned to Santa Fe, ofcourse he brought his draftsperson with him, but asMrs . John Caw Meem. While this was going on, in1931, he won the competition of the Rockefeller Foun­dation to design the Laboratory of Anthropology; laterhe designed the International Folk Art Museum forFlorence Dibell Bartlett. In Santa Fe we have also,among others, the County Court House, the First Na­tional Bank , the municipal Court and Police building,Sears-Roebuck, to name but a few. Should I bring acontroversial note into the story to mention the greatTerritorial-style St. Vincent's Hospital, and compare itwith the edifice on St. Michael's Drive? In Carlsbadthere is the United States Potash Company building; inAlbuquerque, Bataan Memorial Hospital and theLovelace Clinic. In Albuquerque there is also theUniversity of New Mexico which does have programsother than the Athletic Department. There are thoseof us who remember when hardworking graduatestudents attended or taught sometimes universityfreshman classes in Mitchell Hall, argued over a cup ofcoffee in the old Student Building, and virtually livedin the Library, (the west portion with the tower only)and suffered through doctoral orals in the special roomin the Administration Building provided for that pur­pose. These were some of the 33 buildings that Johnbuilt, and these were happier days when the campushad expanses of grassy open spaces, before it became aconcrete jungle, and before the AdministrationBuilding was remodeled into something else. In fact, itwas in this latter building at the close of thatceremonial revival of the Inquisition known as "Doc­toral Orals," which pronounced that I had the right touse certain letters after my name that I first becameaware of John Caw Meem. At the close of the pro­ceedings a certain professor of recent U. S. history,long since gone to his reward, asked me his final ques­tion, " Do you approve of the John Meem Spanish­Pueblo style?" We had been sitt ing on handsome, but Iguess quite uncomfortable Spanish Colonial-typechairs, not that I had noticed or cared. Since the ques­tion appeared to hav e nothing to do with my disserta­tion on Ricardo Flores Magon and the MexicanRevolution I had no answer, but I gathered from thetone of this gentleman, that he did not approve of JohnMeem , who ever he was, just as he had not approved ofthe Mexican Revolution. I was curious, and at thatpoint approving of anyone of whom that particularprofessor disapproved. Staggering in fatigue across the

John's sanctuary enhances Grandfather's stonework,but no one can confuse the new with the old for bothhave their own integrity.

But one of the characteristics of good citizens whocare so much for the common welfare that they giveunstintly of their talents, their time, their money andtheir concern is that they do not always agree com­pletely in philosophy or in the ways by which suchgoals can best be obtained, especially in the details,even in historic preservation. I submit that this mustalways be so for honest difference of opinion sincerelypursued by free persons is also a mark of citizenship.There has been honest difference of opinion even in­volving John. I seem to recall a minor incident over theSoldiers Monument in the Santa Fe Plaza in the courseof John's vital plaza development plan of the mid­1960's. But even in a not-quite-meeting-of-the-mindsthe situation has often been saved by John's and Faith'sreasonableness, their gentle persuasiveness and impec­cable courtesy, or what Bea Chauvenet so aptly calls"deceptively - simple - seeming genius," I have oftenbeen asked especially by professional friends in Albu­querque why it is that Santa Feans, including this one,can get into such newspaper-making accounts of bat­tles royal over such matters as saving a tired old armyofficers residence on Lincoln Avenue, even from NattOwings, Urban Renewal projects, street-wideningschemes and an onslaught on the poor, littleanachronistic plaza monument by AIM. (And in thisseccond episode over the monument John saved theday by quietly remarking, "It is like an ugly child, youlove it anyway," and my answer to this question ofwhy is always the same, "Because we care so much."

Historic preservation everywhere arose out of theconsciousness of concerned citizens. It can only be car­ried out as a national and state policy if it activelyworks in alliance and partnership with concernedcitizen groups, and perhaps there may be a real dangerin the present program of governmental-subsidizedstructuring with its paid personnel and self­perpetuating bureaucracy that such concerned citizengroups will be sidetracked, by-passed, or worse yet, ig­nored, and this I submit must not happen, especiallyhere in New Mexico where much of it started. Oftenconcerted citizen concern has had to begin, at least,with social and political activism, so that it can lateradd a civic trust capacity.

the south side of the Santa Fe Plaza. Since the sale ofthe Castrense the great reredos has been stored and vir­tually forgotten behind the high altar at St. FrancisCathedral, and John turned the attention of the Com­mittee to the raising of funds for a proper chapel toserve as its home. But the depression was on. Thencame the Cuatro Centennial Celebration of 1939-1940to celebrate the Coronado Entrada. A combination offunds for that purpose from the Cuatro Centennial,the Society and from the Church resulted in the deci­sion by Archbishop Rudolf Gerken to build, as the ar­chdiocesan contribution to the Cuatro Centennial, achurch for a new parish of the faithful in the UpperCanyon Road-Cerro Gordo, Camino de Monte Solarea. The news was cabled to John and Faith, vaca­tioning in Europe, by John's then-partner HughZehner. The vacation was cut short. The new edificewas first blessed on January 1, then dedicated on June27, 1940. Under John's guidance the construction hadbeen done from indigenous local materials, the laborlargely done by the new parishioners in the nativestyle, and a fitting home constructed for the reredos.Historic preservation at its finest!

There were of course other churches: Santo TomasApostol of Abiquiu in 1932, financed by the Society;Santa Maria de Acoma at McCarty's in 1935, built byAcoma Indians in the traditional manner; in Santa Fe,the First Presbyterian Church in 1939 remodeled fromthe original building; Immanuel Lutheran in 1948; theFirst Presbyterian Church in Taos, 1952. For years heserved as the in-house architect and architectural con­sultant for his own faith. St. James Episcopal Churchin Clovis is his, as well of course as St. John's EpiscopalCathedral in which the stone tower from the originalbuilding was carefully taken down and then rebuilt in­to the structure. So was the original Cathedral House,to which some things have been done in the past fewyears, but at least John's facade remains. Faithfullycarrying out the historic preservation dictum that inproviding for the expansion of an historic but func­tioning structure, the new construction should not at­tempt to duplicate the old but should be in scale andharmony with it while reflecting its own time, is his1953 addition of the sanctuary to his own belovedChurch of the Holy Faith. Much of the stones of theoriginal modest folk-Gothic building were laid up by ahumble, English-immigrant stone mason fromDenver, with too many mouths to feed and desperatefor employment, who was this speaker's grandfather.~ 3.

need to detail for anyone in thi s room the history of theO ld Santa Fe As;ociatiori, organized in 1926 topreserve the tradi tion and environme nt of Santa Fe ,whic h had some rather exotic ea rly episodes , but hasbeen th e leader of every fight for historic protectionsince that tim e. Fortunatel y, John and Faith wereamong its leading members and while givingunyielding support to its objec tives also provided calmdeliberation and persuasiven ess in achi evin g th em .The second phase of histori c preservation organizationin Santa Fe, that of a trust nature, arose out of th e1960 defeat of OSFA to save th e Nusbaum house onWash ington Avenu e from a particularly recalcitrant Ci­ty Council. T he raising of the issue of political lobbyingwit h reference to the tax exemption of a non -profitorganization led to the foundin g of th e Histori c SantaFe Foundation in th e same year to receive tax exemp­tions so that endange red properties could actually bepurchased or othe rwise acquired and administered ina trust capacity, and histori c properties documentedand plaqued. Obviously , the Meems wer e leaders inth e new association , with othe rs. many of whom ar e inthis room, including controversial but also dedi catedJohn P. Conron . Th e incorporator s wer e ~l. R. Adler ,Thomas McKenna and Alan Vedder. Th e lessons ar eobvious: cit izens need to organize, both to lobby andto fight when necessary, and to act as trustees for pro­perties onc e saved. John and Faith have personally

and in th e most rea l way possib le made it possible forth is organization to become th e trustees of seve ra l onceendanger ed properties, and in so doing have placedupon us all th e citizens' coll ective trustee­responsibility to protect th ese portions of Santa Fe' s in­heri tance. Th ere had been the Borrego House in 1960 ,but only partly purchased with funds left over fromthe ill-fa ted Nusbaum hou se campaign, which waspla ced in the ownership of OSFA . In 1961 John andFaith , together with others, formed a corpo ration toinsur e saving EI Za guan , aft er th e death of its ownerMargretta Dietrich , an other Santa Fe preservationistwho had bou ght the rambling old hacienda in 1927wh en it wa s threatened with demolition to make wayfor a mod ern apartment building, The Meem andsome othe r shares were turned over to the Foundationseveral yea rs ago; th e last outstand ing shares have nowbeen acquired. Th en in 1974 came th e drive by theFoundation to bu y th e 1851 Pinckney H. Tully Houseto save it from th e bulldozer. The Foundation rais ed asizeable am ount of money, but again not nearlyeno ugh; needl ess to say, th e additional funds wereforthcoming.

And so in closin g, thank you John and Faith, for be­ing such good citizens of Santa Fe in all aspects ofhistoric preservat ion; thank you pa rticula rly for leav­ing us a priceless patrimony to protect and for show ingus how it must be done. AI.E.].

The Intern Architect:- Individuals who will be receivin g an accredited

degree in architecture ma y enroll upon gradu­ation. Those persons who do not hold an ac­credited architecture degree can enroll aft erpassing Section A, B, C and 0 of the NCARBQualifying Test. Intern-Architects who ar ecurrently acquiring prac tical experience pr iorto adoption of lOP on a statewide basis, mayapply immediately.

Th e Professional Sponsor :- Th e Professional Sponsor is the ar chitect­

employer, however, thi s person need not be thehead of the firm . This individual must be aregistered architect with a decision-makingcapacity within the firm. Th e spon sor willcontrol and direct the Intern-Architect' s workexperience as direct ed by the principal of thefirm. Th e Professional Sponsor is perhaps thekey to the Intern's development since theSponsor becomes the " teacher" and source ofprimary guidance.

Th e Professional Advisor:- Th e Advisor's role requires a clear understand­

ing of the program's intricaci es and a willing­ness to provide the guidance that will help anIntern-Architect achieve a full range of expe r­ience. The Professional Advisor is an architectoutside the Intern-Architect' s place of employ­ment to whom an individual ma y turn for guid ­ance and evaluation of one's internship prog­ress. Selected through th e local AlA compon­ent, the Advisor is expected to function as ast rongly motivated " mentor" - a practitionerwho assumes the historic role of the establishedprofessional who passes along the same guid­ance and encouragement that he or she receiv­ed as a similar young aspirant.

An important feature of the lOP is a SupplementaryEducation Program for Intern Architects .

SupEdGuides ar e organized educational units ofTh e American Institute of Architects' new Supplemen­tary Education Pro gram, which is oriented toward thespecial needs and interests of int ern architects.

SupEdGuides ar e focused on carefully identifiedtopics pertinent to the expanded practice of architec­ture today.

The lOP in New Mexico will be in operation whenorganization within NMSA is completed, and the pro­gram is accepted by the Board of Examiners for Ar­chitects. Kenneth S. Clark , FAIA

ALBUQUERQUE ARCHITECT ELECTED TO AlACOLLEGE OF FELLOWS

George Clayton Pearl of Albuquerque has beenelected to the College of Fellows of The American In­stitute of Architects.

Fellowship is a lifetime honor bestowed for notablecontribution to the profession. (All Fellows of AlAmay use the initials FAIA after their names.) In­vest itu re of the newly elected Fellows will take placeon June 2 at the AlA's ational Convention in Cincin­nati, Ohio.

Pearl, since 1957 partner in charge of design in thefirm of Stevens, Mallory, Pearl and Campbell, hasdesigned several hundred projects and received morethan 25 design awards. Pearl's buildings are notablefor their harmony between contemporary and tradi­tional architectural forms, and have been an impor­tant influence in the Southwest on the evolution of theaca demic regionalism of the pre-World War II periodinto a con tem pora ry regional sty le based on sensitivityto cultu re and to climate.

The Albuquerque Public Library of 1974, at CopperAvenue between 5th and 6th Streets, is a powerfulcomposition of volumes which create dramatic effectsof light and shade on the exterior and gives a variety ofspaces with sensitive use of natural light on the in­terior. The 1978 Acoma-Laguna-Canoncito Hospitalon the Acoma reservation west of Albuquerque utilizesa major act ive-solar mechanical system while achiev­ing a recognizably traditional architectural quality.Oth er prominent buildings designed by Pearl are theCollege of Business at Eastern ew Mexico Universityin Portales; additions to Presbyterian Hospital, Albu­querque, since 1950; the Simms Fine Arts Center atthe Albuquerque Academy; the School of Law on theUniversity of New Mexico orth Campus; MountainBell's Main Exchange Complex at Los Alamos; andone of his earliest projects, the Albuquerque CivicAuditor ium of 1953.

Pea rl's con tribution to the preservation of historicproperties in New Mexico has been remarkable. He hasdone resea rch and evaluations leading to the registr a-

tion of such significant landmarks as the Dorsey Man­sion (now a state monument), the Garcia Opera Housein Socorro, the Schuler Theatre in Raton, the Millshouse in Springer, and a number of Historic Districts.He contributed significantly to the ordiances formu­lating Albuquerque's Landmarks and Urban Conser­vation Commission and became its first Chairman. Hehas held various AlA offices pertaining to historicpreservation, and serves on the Board of Advisors ofthe j ational Trust for Historic Preservation. As thefirst architect to serve on the Liturgical Arts Commis­sion of the Archdiocese of Santa Fe, Pearl has convinc­ed the Church of the great importance of its uniqueheritage of colonial and ter ritorial churches and hascaused many of these buildings to be resto red orpreserved.

In nom inating Geo rge Pea rl for the Fellowship,UNM Architect Van dorn Hooker spoke for the ar­chitectural community when he said, "I felt verystrongly that he was the one person in New Mexicomost deserving of this recognition bestowed by hisfellow architects." E. H.B.
