And the other of Chock’s DQs: Known for architecture in Washington, D.C.?

463

I have a spare DC. All yours Prof, or whoever wants to use it.

464

I’m afraid my architecture is limited to Frank Lloyd Wright.

465

Yup, at least one very well known building. Well, he designed it, his son completed it.

466

Somebody can have my last DQ, too.

467

Same here. Wright and Frank Geary (who isn’t dead and is Canadian, so it’s not him) are the limits of my architecture knowledge.

468

SCA’s DQ: First name rhyme with “Lass”?
Chock’s last DQ: Last name starts with “Gil”?

Note: Those are DQs and NOT a final guess.

I had thought it might be Alma’s pal Walter Gropius, but he was alive in the 1950’s.

469

Yes, @Prof.Pepperwinkle, I am Cass Gilbert, architect of the US Supreme Court Building, along with quite a few other buildings - including the Woolworth Building, the US Chamber of Commerce building, and the Thurgood Marshall US Courthouse (aka hopefully where we’ll be seeing trials against the ex-president)…
and a bunch of other stuff all around the United States
