Philip Johnson. Baker Center for the Arts, Muhlenberg College (1976).

A master of modern architecture, Philip Johnson designed this building for the campus of Muhlenberg College. Its main feature is the 220-foot, glass-ceilinged galleria, which serves as a thoroughfare. The building also houses a theater/auditorium, lecture/recital hall, art gallery space, studios for painting, drawing, and sculpture, class and seminar rooms, faculty offices, music studios, and practice/rehearsal rooms. More here and here, and in the November 1977 issue of Architectural Record, if you can get your hands on it.

All but the first three photos are from Lawrence Biemiller.

Margaret Howell Shirting

Margaret Howell began making shirts in 1972 with twelve machinists. Each machinist was responsible for every stage of the process. They still do it the same way today. Each machinist makes a shirt from start to finish, and their initials are sewn into each one they produce. Only the highest quality everything goes into the shirts you see below.

Classic Shirt, Plain Poplin, White.

Cutaway Minimal Shirt, Mini Gingham, Lead/White.

Basic Shirt, Mini Tattersal, Blue/Lead.
Basic Shirt, Micro End On End, Deep Blue.

Town View Leather

Don't call this moccasin thing a comeback. They were too strong for too long, plus your dad never stopped knocking around in them. For solid offerings, both lined and unlined, you visit Town View Leather. It is yet another reason to love Maine. The company is owned and operated by Galen and Gayanne Wintle, who make each pair by hand in their shop in Dexter.
