Dear Reader,

Author Inquiry re Gordon Bunshaft

Do any of you have stories concerning architect Gordon Bunshaft, his visits, his opinions, and his role in the design of 1 Chase Manhattan Plaza? Nicholas Adams, Mary Conover Mellon Professor in the History of Architecture at Vassar College, is writing a book for Yale University Press about Bunshaft (1909–1990).  Adams says he prefers instances at which people were present, but “good stories” are always welcome. He is happy to maintain anonymity if requested. He can be reached at niadams@vassar.edu.
