The town is in a tizzy over a proposal of a "big box" annex to it's old court house. So we came up with a "design by committee" solution for our Architectural Review Board
"Starting at the intersection of Harford Street, the original Post Office designed by Calvert Vaux, Frederic Law Olmsted’s partner in designing Central Park; Forest Hall designed by Richard Morris Hunt’s son’s, who also designed the East Facade of the Metropolitan Museum of Art; across the street is the Pinchot Homestead, now the Milford Community House, remodeled by Hines and Lafarge, the designers of St. John the Devine in New York City; Normandy Cottage designed by McKim, Meade and White, the designers of Columbia University and the old Penn Station. Further down is the Presbyterian Church, and the Pike County Court House in Center Square, both designed by John Barrett, one of the architects of the industrial brick buildings in Patterson, NJ. No other small town in America has these giants of 20 century architecture, let alone on its main street."
