Notes:
Architect John Galen Howard wrote of the regional fitnees of the Women's Building in 1926: "In the Women's Building a new note has been struck,--Georgian shall we call it?--or Colonial? Perhaps its rare charm comes, not form remote suggestions of this or that English or New England prototype so much as from its truly indigenous character. It seems to bleong just where it is, racy of the soil, and ready to play the friendly game with other buildings which in the future may prefer to lean more definitely in one or another direction, whether more punctiliously stylistic, or more eliminative of identifiable allusion or derivation, as for instance in the flat-roofed School of Commerce, by the same architects."
