Our building finds its first roots within the narritive:
Mr. Felix Lorstrom asked for a design of a Guild Hall in Buckingham, VA
His biggest interest was in the newly created guild:
-He is revitalizing the values of trade
-his goal is to bring forth the initial guild and separate from the club-like group which is now present
-his idea is to bring the community together with markets and show the skills of the trade
his choice of material was a local slate which certainly
is used in a masonic temple and masonry buildings
today
A neat idea I came up with: veneer slate slabs and reinforce with steal forming black of slate.
Though this idea was wonderful and genius,
the price to which it would account
is beyond the conceivable.
I could not justify using it.
