William Macy Stanton Architect of the Cumberland [#978737]

Name: William Macy Stanton Architect of the Cumberland
Author: book24h

In 1933, President Franklin Roosevelt's New Deal launched the Tennessee Valley Authority and the Subsistence Homesteads Division to help bring economic relief to families and communities devastated by the Great Depression. With the creation of these new programs came a need for the infrastructure that could support them, and for this, the Roosevelt administration turned to William Macy Stanton.
Born to a Quaker family in Ohio in 1888, Stanton worked as an instructor of drawing and design at the University of Illinois School of Architecture before establishing an independent practice in Philadelphia in the early 1920s. During the Depression, he worked on architectural projects in Tennessee for the TVA-including the town of Norris, where the builders of Norris Dam would live. As the New Deal era dawned, Stanton moved to Crossville to design the proposed Cumberland Homesteads. In addition to this work, Stanton is widely regarded for his hotel designs, including The Lafayette and James Madison Hotels in Atlantic City, as well as his restoration of Quaker meetinghouses.
In this new biography, Delos D. Hughes weaves the story of Stanton's life and career together with the broader historical context of the Great Depression and New Deal initiatives. The book is divided into three parts, exploring Stanton's life and work before, during, and after his involvement with the Cumberland Homesteads; Hughes examines the intersection of architecture and social policy throughout. Rich with historical photographs, Stanton's own architectural drawings, and other original imagery on nearly every page, Hughes's work will delight architectural history enthusiasts and Tennessee history scholars.
