Oswald Constantin Hering, architect and author, was born in Philadelphia, January 12, 1874. He was the son of Rudolph Hering, a civil engineer, and Fanny Field Hering, a librarian and teacher who authored a book on the French artist Jean-L\u00E9on G\u00E9r\u00F4me. Oswald Hering attended the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (1893-1897) and studied art and architecture further at the Atelier Ginain and the Ecole des Beaux Arts in Paris (1897-1899). In 1901, he opened his own architectural practice in New York City, which he ran, for a period, in partnership with Douglass Fitch. Hering specialized in country and suburban homes and pioneered the residential use of reinforced concrete. He designed a number of residences for Garden City and Jamaica Estates, Long Island, New York, as well as \"Trailsend\", the home of James M. Cox, the 1920 Democratic presidential nominee. His nonresidential projects included the old Brentano's bookstore in New York City and the Lakewood Theater, Skowhegan, Maine. RAREA1924ABEA - 04\/19 FORN-TUB-0086-BB-2507-HKREV1114.

You did in one respect-by returing to the country. You are more fortunate than I am by having a pension-which is one reason, & maybe the only one, for engaging in a business rather than a profession. My wife echoes yours. I don't mind Mrs. H. going without clothes as she rivals the Venus of the Capitoline, but she'll never starve so long as my vegetable garden goes on producing. On the whole, as you no doubt have a hobby to ride, you are to be congratulated. Until we meet at the 50th Founder's Night. Yrs. OH. [Oswald Hering] July 29. This letter shows one horizontal fold from being folded for mailing. Some of the areas mentioned in the travels: Ceylon, India, Java, Bali, China, Korea, Japan, Peru, Panama Canal, Chile, Brazil; Oberammergau; Natchez, Mississippi. Sold together only, the inscribed copy and the autograph letter. Inscribed by Author(s).
