Talk:Corrado Parducci

CP and the U of D. Parducci produced a large cartouche over the main entrance of a library as well as a few other decorations on the building. A dove can be seen in this picture, and there are more of that sort of thing. More interesting and problematic are the earlier ones, I think 1925 buildings done by maybe Malcomson and Higgenbotham in sort of a Spanish style. Parducci worked on "Educational Buildings" that year, but (original research - if it drives you crazy DO NOT READ ON) were those the ones? I'm always looking for a second opinion.

 * I don't know much at all about architectural styles, but I always was struck by, like you say, the Spanish looking roofs on alot of UDM buildings. I added these pics to the article for the school since it had no pictures and could use the two above. It's possible I might get around to getting a few pics of the clock tower there, but for now, these are an improvement. --Mikerussell 04:12, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

That is a very interesting box
at the bottom of the article, but not all the folks mentioned, locals and visitors, were architectural sculptors. MCP Stratton for sure was not, Herbert Adams too, and even DC French - tho he did do architectural sculpture, did not, I think, do any in Detroit. However I'd rather leave it as is rather than annoy someone by making heavy handed edits. Any thoughts? Carptrash (talk) 18:37, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

Thanks, nav box updated.Thomas Paine1776 (talk) 19:16, 14 June 2008 (UTC)

I cut this out and moved it here

 * Maccabees Building, because I believe that if Parducci did anything on this building it was a few grotesque heads hardly noticable and not the notable sculpture around the entrance. Einar aka Carptrash (talk) 15:08, 12 June 2012 (UTC)

I just cut this out

 * "* Standard Savings and Loan in Ann Arbor"

because I am not sure what it is, but am pretty sure that Parducci did nothing there. Please let us know why you do think that. Carptrash (talk) 22:16, 28 February 2015 (UTC)

I cut this out of the Detroit Masonic Temple section
because it has nothing to do with Parducci.
 * "William F. Gurche had the contract for the exterior sculpture. Henry Steinman, a New York sculptor working in the Detroit studio of William F. Gurche, sculpted the Tylers on the four towers of the Ritual Building. Leo Friedlander, a New York sculptor and 1913 winner of the Rome Prize, was paid $1,100.00 to sculpt the three figures– King Solomon, King Hiram and Hiram Abiff– over the Ritual Tower entrance. All the light fixtures were custom-made by the Sterling Bronze Company of New York. The lighting fixtures in the lodges, hallways, and foyers were designed for the tasks at hand."
