I . ADMINISTRATION
a. Dates of Next Meetings were agreed to as 17 January and 21 Feb-
ruary, 1973.
b. Minutes of the October, 1972, Meeting were approved.
c. The Secretary reported that the President had approved most of
the funds and programs requested by the Commission for fiscal year 1974.
The new total of $142,000 included additional funds for printing and a
new position. This position has been filled by Mrs. Nancy Lusher, who
works for the Commission part time and is a student at George Washington
University. The Chairman welcomed Mrs. Lusher on behalf of the Commission.
d. Illumination of Jefferson and Lincoln Memorials and other Govern-
ment Buildings was presented by the Secretary as a problem of increasing
proportions. He stated that the Jefferson Lighting was incomplete with
the base the primary illuminated area, and that was green and white light
giving a highly undesirable appearance. The Lincoln Memorial lighting was
still too bright on the attic and that tended to be blotchy. The Secretary
also pointed out that the Civil Service Building was now one of the most
brightly illuminated buildings in Washington and that the effect was un-
fortunate and unnecessary - it had never been submitted to the Commission
for advice. The Commission suggested that a sub-committee tour of the
lighting in the evening would be very desirable. The Chairman suggested

that the Commission take the initiative in coordinating the various agen-
cies responsible for the lighting of Washington, and get everyone together
with a White House representative for a status report on last year’s efforts.
e. Proposed additions to the District of Columbia Landmarks List
were discussed by the Assistant Secretary. He pointed out that it would
be desirable to coordinate the Commission's past research with other lists,
elevating worthy buildings and spaces to landmark status and some to the
National Register. This would be done with the Commission's staff, the
staff of the National Capital Planning Commission, and a subcommittee of
the Joint Committee on Landmarks. The Commission concurred with this
effort .
f. The Secretary reported on the status of D.C. Street Marking.
He told that traditionally the street stripes had been painted white as
recommended by the D.C. Highway Department and the Commission of Fine Arts.
The District Government now found itself denied Federal funds unless it
changed its markings to yellow. The Secretary suggested a position against
yellow markings throughout the District of Columbia rather than just in
the Monumental Core. The Chairman suggested that Washington really should
be a model for this type of control and that it was better to retain the
white stripes in the Monumental Core than not at all. The Commission
took the position that recommending white markings for the entire city
would be desirable but that white street markings in the Monumental Core
were mandatory. They authorized the Secretary to represent the Commission
of Fine Arts at meetings with the highway and safety departments.
g. Howard University Dental School Addition. The Secretary pre-
sented drawings for a two-floor addition to the existing Dental School.
He said the project had been a last minute submission and was of such an
unfortunate design that it would be best to handle the submission as an
administrative matter. The proposal included a new facade treatment for
a pair of upper floore which would cantilever two feet out over the exis-
ting building. The Commission agreed to return the submission to the
General Services Administration with recommendations to restudy the facade
in terms of matching the existing building.

the Commission that the project promoters would make a slide presentation
later in the morning furnishing information on adjacent development and

that they would not respond with a formal action until they had had an
opportunity to review the Georgetown Planning Group's Georgetown Waterfront

2. Appendix 1, Approved.
Exhibit A.
3. The attention of the Commission was drawn to a structure
f in the 3000 block of M Street, N.W., consisting of red steel hydraulic ramps
the apparatus was considered machinery, not a structure , by the D.C.
t Government, and permitted to remain without Fine Arts Commission review,
f: The Commission suggested a letter be sent to the D.C. Government recom-
f mending that in future this loophole be closed. Exhibit B.
Shipstead-Luce Act
1. S.L. 73-26, 1A14 22nd Street, N.W. - New Office Building -
[ Final Design (Preliminary Design previously approved). The Secretary
I showed the Commission drawings for a simple commercial office building
( to be located on the perimeter of Rock Creek Park across the P Street
I Bridge from Georgetown and within a few blocks of several other office
buildings approved for the rim of the park at Pennsylvania Avenue and
M Street, N.W. He indicated that the site was presently a parking lot
and was next to a small limestone gas station - all o\imed by Gulf Oil.
The proposition was unclear from the drav/ings as to the exact, immediate
disposition of the gas station. The Commission had no objection to the
building design, but felt that they should have clarification on the en-
tire site, the fate of the fas station and the potential for incorporating
a gas station within an office building. The Commission found the exis-
■ ting structure to be an unusually sympathetic limestone neo-Georgian
structure, designed to harmonize with the church across the street. It
was recommended that the possibility of the preservation of the existing
station be explored with the Gulf Oil Corporation. The case would be
held pending receipt of further information.
' 2. Appendix 2, Approved. Exhibit C.
b . D.C. Government, Department of General Services
1. Takoma Elementary School, Broad Branch and Highland Roads,
N.W. - Preliminary Design. The Assistant Secretary presented drawings
for the three-floor, free standing school with brick walls, some bright
colored enamel panels and areas of standing seam metal roof. The interior
of the building had large open learning areas reached by "front porches"
and was broken down into "houses" to give the children a sense of identity.
The Commission approved the design with the suggestion that the staff
follow up on some simplification of exterior details. The action was
given to project representatives later in the day.
2. Recreation Center for Mentally Handicapped, Croissant
Place and G Street, S.E. - Preliminary Design. The Secretary presented
drawings and a model of this split-faced concrete block one-floor buil-
ding with a wood shake roof. He pointed out the covered entrance passage
and various well designed features. The Commission approved the design,
but withheld final action until a conference with the project representa-
tives later in the day.

3. Parkview Recreation Center, Warder and Princeton Place, N.W. -
Preliminary Design. The Assistant Secretary presented drawings for this
split-faced concrete block, sloping roofed, one-floor recreation building
to go on an existing playground. The building had a trapezoidal courtyard
to the rear and some diagonal partitions. The Commission felt that the
design was superficial and would not function because of cut up spaces.
They withheld further discussion until a conference with the architect
later in the day.
4. Office of the D.C. Medical Examiner (Morgue), D.C. General
Hospital Grounds - Preliminary Design. The Secretary presented drawings
and a perspective view of this two-and-a-half-floor rectangular storage,
office and laboratory facility. He pointed out the motel-like appearance
of the structure with its lack of dignity as being in no way related to
the existing, nor proposed, site plans for this important and visible
District Government Complex. The Commission agreed that the building's
proposed character was unsuitable and that a master plan should be prepared
for this area. Further discussion was withheld until a meeting with
project representatives later in the day.
5. D.C. Jail - Landscape Plans. The Secretary presented
drawings and a model for landscaping of the Jail which had been approved
at the October meeting. The plan showed reinforcement of street trees,
but failed to show resolution of the actual wall, or retaining wall,
separating the public from the building. Though the Commission did not
object to the plans sho^^m, they found them incomplete. Further discussion
was withheld until a conference with the architect later in the day.
c. Department of the Army, Corps of Engineers
1. Enlisted Men's Barracks and Open Mess, Walter Reed Army
Medical Center - Preliminary Design. The Assistant Secretary presented
drawings and a model to the Commission for this multiple floored complex
integrating indoor parking, men's and women's barracks, and a service
club. The brick exterior was broken up into units surrounding several
courtyards. A series of split-gable roofs provided access and screening
for mechanical equipment. The Commission did not object to the location
of this facility within the campus, but found the design awkward with
respect to areas of very long free-standing columns, the service entrance,
the triangular service club, and relation to the slope of the site. Fur-
ther discussion was withheld until later in the day.
2. Arlington Cemetery, Administration Building - Revised
Design, and Site Plan. The Assistant Secretary presented drawings showing
revisions to the facade and site which accommodated the Commission's
previous suggestions. Flat panels under the windows and elimination of
flanking parking were the primary changes. The Assistant Secretary explained
that the Army had detached the design solution for funeral staging areas
from the building design, but would be bringing in their further site
developments as they were developed. The Commission generally approved
the modifications, but withheld comment until later in the day.

;( 3. Arlington Cemetery, Proposed Memorial to Audie Murphy. The
:i Secretary told the Commission of the Army's desire for a preliminary re-
ij action to erecting a monument to Audie Murphy next to his grave. The
i proposal consisted of a flagstone walk and small domed monument with a
Ij poem and inscription of medals presented to Murphy. The Commission stated
its continued objection to monuments to individuals in the Cemetery.
I Mrs. Dart Suggested that such a memorial could be put inside the nearby
trophy room, to which the Commission agreed. The Commission was scheduled
■ to meet with the Army's representatives later in the day.
d . Department of the Navy, Naval Facilities Engineering Command
Air Force Housing, Anacostia-Bolling Field - Preliminary Design.
I The Assistant Secretary presented a series of drawings showing a range of
! family housing types. The two-floor structures were mostly row type houses
i with individual car parts. He pointed out the variations in the brick .
and frame dwellings and that they did not vary considerably from the ap-
! proved master plan. There were some larger questions, including the exact
' disposition of the Post. There was some possibility that part of it would
be turned over to the District Government for civilian housing. A study
was also being prepared on the desirability of providing low density
housing in an urban area rather than distributing military personnel out
'i in the local community. The Commission reacted adversely to the design
of the units as well as to the site plan and the lack of an adequate master
1 plan. Further discussion was withheld until a conference with the Navy
later in the day.
!
e . D.C. Redevelopment Land Agency
i Southwest Redevelopment, 3rd and 4th and E Streets, S.W, -
! Wax Museum, revised Design. The Secretary showed revised elevation drawings
to the Commission which accommodated the Commission's October comments.
A great deal more of the garage had been sheathed with the existing 19th
century retaining wall than originally proposed. The Commission approved
the revised design.
f . Department of the Treasury, Bureau of the Mint
Commemorative Medal - "175th Anniversary of the Launching of the
U.S. Frigate Constellation". The Assistant Secretary showed the Commission
drawings of the medal showing an eagle on one side and the Constellation
on the other. He read a letter to the Chairman from the Director of the
Mint, Mary Brooks, indicating that the medal would be struck on December
' 7th, that she was sorry for the short notice and valued the Commission's
; assistance to the Mint. The Commission felt that the eagle side of the
I medal should be restudied, but that the ship image was acceptable. A letter
would be sent to that effect, and objecting to the inexcusably short notice.

of General Services and the architect Leon Brown. The Chairman indicated
to Mr. Leon Brown that the Commission had no specific objections to his
landscape plan, but felt that it should be coordinated with other plans
on the Hospital Grounds. Mr. Brown indicated his willingness to cooperate
on coordinating his planning to that of adjacent projects. Exhibit G.
c. Department of the Army, Corps of Engineers
1. Enlisted Men's Barracks and Open Mess, Walter Reed Army
Medical Center - preliminary design. This project was represented by
Mr. Mahan of the Baltimore District Engineers Office, U.S. Army, and
architect Walter Brown of L.,B.,C. & W. Associates. The Chairman told
Mr. Walter Brown of the Commission's disapproval of this project. The
Commission's suggestions for restudying the project included elimination
of long spine-like columns, elimination of the triangular shaped mess
facility, relocation of the service drive, facade simplification and a
closer harmony to the hill site. Mr. Walter Brown and Mr. Mahan agreed
to a restudy. Exhibit H.
I 2. Arlington Cemetery, Administration Building - revised
design. The project was represented by Mr. Beller of the Army and Mr.
Loren Sage of Mills & Petticord, Architects. The Chairman gave Mr. Sage
the Commission's approval of the modified design for the building and
asked how the previously discussed problem of funeral staging would be
handled. Mr. Beller answered that the Army would have this matter under
study for a while and would return to the Commission when a design had
been developed. Exhibit I.
3. Arlington Cemetery, Audie Murphy Memorial - proposed design.
The project was represented by Mr. Beller of the Army. The Chairman
related to Mr. Beller that the Commission in the past had taken a stand
against monuments to individuals and they would continue to feel that way.
Fro this reason the Commission would not even comment on the proposed de-
' sign. Mr. Beller indicated that the Army would study alternate means
for memorializing Mr. Murphy. Exhibit J.
d . Department of the Navy, Naval Facilities Engineering Command
Anacostia-Bolling Air Force Housing - preliminary design. The
‘ project was represented by Cdr. Boothe and Mr. Lose of the Navy and Robert
' A. Little, the architect. The Chairman asked Mr. Little for a brief ex-
I planation of the basic housing concept after which Mr. Stone suggested
thought be given to reorienting the waterfront housing in the project to-
' ward, rather than away from, the housing. Mrs. Smith suggested that the

housing design and clustering arrangements could be more refined, while
the consensus of the Commission was that the project was unacceptable,
particularly in the light of not conforming to an approved master plan
for the base. In concluding their disapproval, the Commission suggested
that a renewed emphasis be given by the Department of Defense to more
imaginative good design for this type housing. Perhaps the regulations
were obsolete or restrictive and should be reexamined.
The Chairman adjourned the Meeting at 2:00 p.m., with the members agreeing
to join a program sponsored by the National Endovnnent for the Arts for
the rest of the day.

Leaving the National Academy of Sciences Building at 5:30 p.m., the
Commission took a route east on C Street, southeast on Virginia Avenue,
north on 18th Street, southeast on Massachusetts Avenue, south on 16th
Street, east on H Street, south on 14th Street to the Jefferson Memorial
parking lot. From the Jefferson Memorial the Commission proceeded west
through West Potomac Park to the Lincoln Memorial and from there east on
Independence Avenue to 15th Street and north on 15th Street, and west
on Constitution Avenue, then north on 22nd Street to the National Academy
of Sciences Building again at 6:30 p.m.
The Commission noted that the Civil Service Building was far too brightly
illuminated and had never been before the Commission for advice. G.S.A.
had apparently installed the illumination recently. The Staff was instructed
to investigate. The Commission noted the White House from a distance was
very well lit with respect to color and intensity. They observed some
improvement to the Federal Triangle, particularly in the turning off of
some attic lights.
The Commission observed the Washington Monument lights and found no objec-
tion to the shadows cast on the Monument by the perimeter flags. They did
suggest that lighting all of the flags uniformly would be desirable.
When arriving at the Jefferson Memorial, the Commission found incomplete
illumination consisting of alternating blue and white lights on the base,
no light on the colimns or dome, and yellow light inside the Memorial.
The effect was disastrous and the Commission suggested that the Staff
report to the Park Service.
While examining the Lincoln Memorial lighting the Commission found the
attic too bright and suggested efforts should be made to even off spottiness.
The Commission concluded their tour by seeing one# again the very brightly
illuminated Civil Service Commission Building and perhaps overlighted
State Department Building.
At the tour's completion, the Commission had a consensus that its previous
advice had not been totally carried out and that much bad lighting was
being done, while there appeared to be little or no coordination between
the several agencies involved. The Commission instructed the Staff to

Dear I'lrs. Lrooks:
Tliis will confiru our report to Hr. John Snaeffer's ori'ice
on Deceiiiber 6 regaruing tlie designs for the i73th /nmiversury
Constellation medal which the Coariiission, reviev;ed on December 1.
The design for the obVerse depicting the Sri^atc Constellation
wDs approve^. tiie reverse side reaves sor.iethmg to ne ccsj-rci-i,
however. The eagle appears to have come out second best in an
uneven competition, and the field around the figure is uiineces-
sarily crov^ded by the ring of fifteen stars.
It is regrettable there v/as so little time available for the
sustudy of the medal. Our comments are made in tlie interest of
serving the Government and the public with better design. As
advisors to the President in all matters of design, Vvc staiid ready
to be of any possible assistance, and knov/ that the idhite blouse
increasingly shares our concern for design quality. Our iiope is
that we shall not again have to be faced with a virtual 'fait
accompli in this way.

Jear Hr^ Chairraan:
The Coaxflission of Fine Arts^ with ics contiiiuiag charge of
reviev7ing specific proposals and plans for Georgetov;!!, has
recently been requested by the District of Colucibia Govcrna.u;nt
for permit review on several projects proppscd for the Georgctoxvn
Waterfront. We feel that ail possible information we can get
prior to completing such reviev/ will be in the public interest.
Thus V7e would seek your assistance for our January 17, 1973
meocing in the form of having an h'.'C.F.C. Staff aiscussion on the
urban design principles involved in the recently pubiishce
George tow-n Planning Group report, GhG'RGhTOWJ W/Ti’lRFifOhT ARlu\ STuuY.
In the past. Hr. Charles Gonrad and Mr. Martin ilody have
been kinu enough to give tlic Cormuission of Fiiic Arts status
reports on this very considerable effort by your Cotitaission . Our
memDers have seen given copres or tne report and v/iil iiavc tiau a
chance to review them before the meeting. They are familiar , witn
the general problems involved in this plaiining effort as well.
Due to the exacting legal
of tne essence in tliis matter,
formal .request . We vjould hope
to authorize either Hr. Conrad
with us on the 17 th.
restrictions on us, we find time
anu thus put forth this rather
that you could see your v/ay clear
or another staff member to meet
Sincerely yours.

Dear Col. Scarobiu:
In acidition to coasiuering tlie new laorgue and jail ai; the
Couuiiissiou’ s meeting on December 1, wc also had a chance to
look at the brighter side of theDDis-trict ’ s construction program
in the form of a new school tjnd two recreation eenters.
I ,
The designs for the Takoma hleiuentary School ana tiic Recre-
ation Center for Mentally nanuicapped were both very well aone,
the latter exceptionally so.
The plan for the school acnieves a tiiorough sense of opeirness
without sacrificing the identity of individual classroom groupings
required by the program. The Center has an excellent plan, and
evidences first-rate uesign. The architect is to be coiniriendcd for
a first-rate job.
LJnfortunatel)'’, the remaining project, tlie Parkview Center, at
Princeton Place and Warder, d.W., was not up to the standards of
the others ana was disapproved. In fact it ai)pcared that litcie
time had been spent in studying the basic requirements. Sizes and
shapes of spaces seemed craraped to the point of being unv/orkable,
and the architectural character left a lot to be desired. A re-
creacion center should say just than: open and inviting; relaxed
and carefree - a simple building in a park setting, modest and
unassuming ... Certainly a better ei^forc is needed.
Exhibit F.
The Commission will be meeting next on January i
eould be happy to review any progrejjs at that time,
the staff is available to assist in any v;ay it can.
Sincerely /yours.

L/ear Col.- Starobia;
At its meeting on December ij, 1972, tnc Coruiiission of
Fine Arts held off talcing final action on two Department
of General Services projects, The florgue 'ana the Dew Jail
Lautscapiug. This was done in tlie belief that site planning
for these two projects was difficult if not impossible v/ith-
out a comprehensive master plan for the D.C. Geiieral hospital
area. These projects ana others in the eomplex are highly
visible and important facilities for the City. Getting the
best possible use out of tills valuable space will never be
possible with piecemeal development.
As advisors to the President and the District Government,
we would urge you to put forth v/hatever effort is necessary
to obuain funds for this master plan. At a time wdien as
critical a project as the iicw jail is unuer vjay, we woula ‘
offer our assistance in any v/ay possible.
bincerely yours,
J. Garter Drovm

Dear Mr. belxer;
Just a note to confirm the Coumissioii,’ s action oa
Decejiiber 1 regarding the Audie Murphy- grave.
1
I am sure you uuuerstanu our long-standing opposition
to the erectio'n of iriai-eidual mcmo'fialG in the military
burial areas of Arlington Cemetery. It is a policy that
has proven itself -well over the years, coiitributing a
sense of order and dignity that has resulted in a landscape
of unique beauty. For this reason the proposed laonument
was uisapproved.
On the positive side, the Goiimiissioia v;ould like to
suggest the possibility of a suitable display in the Trophy
Room of the Memorial Aiiiphitheater .
If there is a favorable reaction to this idea, the
Comidission would be happy to work with you in ueveloping it
Sincerely yours.

Dear Dr. inirc:
Your lecter proposing that the Ycucral Governi.ienC have
its own licentcnnial Logo certainly ra.'^se.s a quc;stioii in my
tiina. Wiiyj when we already' have an exceptionally good design
for the Licentenuial Coaruissioa, do ve- have to go out and get
anotner?
Since the chances of getting another uwsign v/ita anychiiAg
approaching the excelieuce of tne present logo are remote at
heat:, v^ouidn't it make more sense to anopt a symbol of proven
quality and acceptability ana merely confine tiie changes to
the identifying lettering arouuu the cymboi?
I V 70 uid hope tiiat if no submission in your competition i
comes up to staiidard, tliat tiie idea be cropped.
Please let us knovr if there is any way in whieh we can be
or help .
Sincerely yours.
