Bring the campfire indoors! The ranch style house was and still is one of the most popular home styles in the United States. Our new gallery of a href=http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc#038;zu=http://architecture.about.com/od/buildingplans/ss/Mid-20th-Century-Ranch-House-Plans.htm1950s Ranch House Plans/a reveals some of the reasons why. These small ranch homes seem much larger than they really are. The designs are airy with a back-to-nature feeling#8212;not to mention those huge fireplaces and chimneys./p

pThe shadows are all mine, proclaimed Julian Francis Abele when discussing the architectural drawings for the new Duke University campus. Construction began in 1930 on the Duke Chapel#8212;a time in the United States when an educated African-American architect stayed in the background of the Philadelphia firm run by Horace Trumbauer./p
pAbele was born on April 30 in 1881. In 1902 he was the first African-American to receive a B.A. in Arch. from the University of Pennsylvania. Today, Duke University is proud to celebrate Abele as the chief designer for many of their campus buildings. And this year Philadelphia itself gives Abele a big birthday present#8212;the a href=http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc#038;zu=http://www.julianabelepark.org/Julian Abele Park/a at 22nd and Carpenter Streets is set to begin construction in 2012.
