Synopsis

Discover a vivid snapshot of early 20th‑century architectural competition for a roadside tavern built from white pine, with plans and criteria that shaped a national standard in design and presentation.

This edition presents the Fifth Annual Architectural Competition, focused on a complete roadside tavern program. It shows the push to balance practical needs with formal timber detailing, site planning, and a cohesive exterior that speaks to its era. Readers glimpse judges’ criteria, mandatory drawings, and the level of exacting presentation required for a serious design submission.

• Detailed problem layout and required deliverables, including perspectives, floor plans, elevations, sections, and plot plans.


• Discussion of architectural intent, material selection, and the challenge of expressing a wood‑built building within a specific site.


• Examples and commentary on scale, proportion, and the treatment of classic and colonial ideas in a modern competition.


• Insight into how the competition’s rules guided presentation, drawing standards, and submission procedures.

Ideal for readers of architectural history, preservation, and design competitions who want a clear view of how period projects were envisioned and judged.
