Invitation to tour of the new building. Has images of the building, floor plans, and an elevation. Roc's Comments: This one was hard. The directors of the Harbor House changed and the board changed when we were in the process of doing this project. There was an understandable fracture on the board between saving the old schoolhouse on Main Street and moving to this new facility. The plans were for a state of the art daycare center, a multi use gymnasium/ meeting room and an exercise/ health facility. The Committee chose to build two of the three functions and included a mechanical system for the eventual third (exercise) wing. Carl Haskell was the project manager on this one. Either Todd Hardy or Jeff Wright did the computer drawing.

sections, floor plans, elevations, site plans Roc's comments: Back in the late 70's we experience one of the cyclical oil fuel crises and the Carter Administration decided to shake some ideas out of the crazies in the back woods as we were at the end of the pipeline and it was in our best interest to come up with inventive alternatives to expensive fuels. The Feds thru the AIA research organization, DOE and HUD invited us to design a single family house using alternative heat supply and delivery systems. Harris Hyman and I were given the Northeast and specifically Binghamton, NY as our site. Binghampton is the city with the lowest number of sunlight hours in the Northeast. Harris and I decided, after a few cocktails, that we would design a building that required no outside source of energy beyond the sun and a small wood stove backup for eccentric moments. We were flown to St. Louis and spent a few days presenting and defending our concepts with teams from other regional areas of the US. Our design, and particularly the engineering approach was quite a hit and the jury after much debate accepted the design with commendation but nothing was ever done with the work after the conference ended.

Section plans, floor plans, elevations, site plans, sketches Roc's comments: Isabel and John Ed Anthony were the nicest clients I had in 45 years of practice. They had funded a Fay Jones Church near Hot Springs Arkansas and liked architecture. They were patient and good-natured and always brought the best out of me. I like them very much and we became good friends. Our office designed six buildings for them. Three here on MDI (two built) and three in Hot Springs (one built) The people who helped me with the construction drawings were Tod Hardy and Jeff Wright. First project done for the Anthonys. Included a bridge designed by Waite Akins engineer from Old Town.
