Charles Morse Stotz was an architect, architectural historian, and preservationist. He is known for his extensive study of the architectural history of Pittsburgh and Western Pennsylvania. He was one of the architects to practice in the field of preservation.〔 He was credited with arousing "public awarenesss of the right and significant history of western Pennsylvania."〔 ==Early life and career== He was born in 1898 in Ingram, Pennsylvania.〔 His father, Edward Stotz, was a noted architect in Pittsburgh. As a 15-year-old, he was 5th place in the ''Boys' Life'' national Daniel Boone Contest essay contest, winning $1.00. In 1921, he graduated from Cornell University with a degree in architecture in 1921; he later completed his master's degree there.〔 He joined his father's architectural firm in 1923.〔 By 1936, his father left the firm to his sons, Charles and Edward Stotz Jr.; the new firm was called Charles M. and Edward Stotz Jr., Architect and Engineer.〔 He was active in the Pittsburgh chapter of the American Institute of Architects, serving as secretary from 1935 to 1936 and president from 1940 to 1941.〔 As an architectural critic, he felt that post-Civil War American architecture lacked form, or as he said "gone to pot", as the result of the influence of the industrial age. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Charles Morse Stotz」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
