Flexible post-World War II Wilson-Jones Loose Leaf 39899 black calf post-binder, rounded corners, all photo w/ clear contrast and resolution, toning to clippings, still a VG exemplar, from the library of A. Rodney Eckerson (1930-2024), former purchasing agent for the Port of Portland, and noted amateur photographer. An exceptional photographic facsimile edition of this exceedingly scarce real estate brochure issued originally to tout the beauty of this planned housing development created from the Hazelfern Farm sold by the Ladd Estate Company in 1909, and further extra-illustrated and grangerized by Eckerson. The original investors platted the residential development with famed landscape architect John Charles Olmstead, and the houses on undulating wide streets reflect the Pacific Northwest Arts & Crafts bungalow aesthetic, with many of the houses depicted in this brochure still existing. The original development banned alcohol sales, apartments, hotels, flats, stables, and commercial buildings, and in fact the garages were required to be located in the rear on alleys, houses with 22 foot setbacks, and approved architectural designs. Also reproduced here, is the extraordinary Laurelhurst plat map executed by Charles Rullman (b. 1876) drawn originally about 1910, the year after the purchase of William Ladd's Hazel Fern Farm. With lots selling from $ 800 and building restrictions ranging from $ 2000 to $ 5000, the streets were designed to follow the local contours, and housing exclusion covenants specifically prohibited African-Americans, Japanese-Americans, Chinese-Americans, or Native Americans from purchasing properties, or building with Laurelhurst. Rullman was also well known for the massive Portland City street map he executed around 1910 which measured 6 x 12 feet. Laurelhurst Addition was originally part of the Elijah & Saloma Davidson, and Terence and John Quinn Land Claim, acquired in 1856. Although divided between Terence and his wife Mary, who died while their daughter Mary was only 10 weeks old, Terence Quinn later took out a mortgage from William Ladd which he only paid on for two years before leaving for the Washington Territory, and Ladd foreclosed in 1870. Later Mary Quinn sued for ownership, and by 1894 the case had wound through numerous courts, before dropping the case when sent to the Supreme Court confirming the Ladd family's ownership. Eckerson has also included images of the Laurelhurst streetcars, as well as early Birds-Eye view of the new development, which was from the original land promotion. In addition, he later added photos of Montavilla along Stark, east of Laurelhurst, with 10 before and after photos documenting Montavilla sometime in 1909, paired with identical location perspective photos dating from 1971 depicting Mt. Tabor in the distance, businesses, Montavilla Department Store, streetcar route, and even two homes still surviving from 1909. Worldcat locates 1 copy of original (Oregon Historical Society, also possess this facsimile in their collection; Yale only possesses the 1979 reprint).

Contact seller4-star sellerAutograph letter. Condition: Good + overall. The letter is dated December 10th, 1929, and typed on letterhead for "The Nationalist Government of the Republic of China. / Ministry of Industry, Commerce and Labour / Nanking, China". It is addressed to Murphy at 202 Szechuen Road, Shanghai. The letter appears to be a response to a…request for payment by Murphy, as he had been contracted to build the capital city for the Republic of China at the location of the ancient city of Nanking. Kung smoothes the waters, speaking about the "valuable services to the Government"; and how Sun Fo, the head of the Capital Planning Commission must handle the settlement. Several lines of flattery are prelude to a refusal to pay his fees, "Due to civil strife, the coffers of the Government have been seriously drained; and the construction programs will have to be delayed." Murphy was a graduate of Yale Architecture school and began practicing with Tracey & Startwout in New York in 1900. In 1907, he & Richard Henry Dana Jr. went into partnership, their firm with a specialty in educational campuses. Over his career, Murphy made eight trips to China, the first in 1914 and the longest in 1931-35. In 1919, he designed the campus of the Shanghai University. In 1924, he went on to practice independently and in 1928, he was hired by Chiang Kai Shek to design a modern capital for China at the location of the ancient city of Nanjing. (Wikipedia) H.H. Kung was a confidant and brother-in-law of Chiang Kai Shek, and brother in law of Sun-Yat-Sen. He was an economics graduate of Yale in 1906. When the new Nationalist government (ROC) came to power in 1928, he was named Minister of Industry and Commerce. in 1935, he was appointed governor of the Central Bank of China. In 1938, he briefly succeeded Chiang Kai Shek as Nationalist Chinese Premier when Chiang resigned to fight the second Sino/Japanese War. 8 1/2 x 11", typescript, signed H. H. Kung, with early underlining of significant passages. Paper somewhat tanned, with residue of glue on the verso around the edges, causing some marking to show through. Interesting insight into the American relationship with the Republic of China government of Chiang Kai Shek. Signed.
