Biographical Sketch of James Riely Gordon (1863-1937)

James Riely Gordon was born in Winchester, Virginia in 1863. At age 11 he moved with his family to San Antonio in 1874. He worked for the Civil Engineering Corps of the International and Great Northern Railway before apprenticing in the architectural office of W.K. Dobson of San Antonio. He gained invaluable experience in the design of public buildings while supervising construction of the U.S. Post Office and Courthouse in San Antonio (1888-1889). By the mid-1880s he had opened his own office. For a brief period, he established a partnership with D.E. Laub (Gordon and Laub Architects) in San Antonio from 1890 to 1891. By the late 1890s Gordon established the J. Riely Gordon Company in Dallas and shortly thereafter moved to New York City where he entered into a brief practice with Alfred Zucker in 1902. He was later associated briefly with Evarts Tracy and Egerton Swartwout in the firm of Gordon Tracy and Swartwout Architects (c1905). He continued to successfully design county courthouses across the eastern seaboard.

Gordon excelled at the design of public buildings and constructed 16 county courthouses in Texas alone. His most popular structures utilized the Richardsonian Romanesque style which accommodated a natural ventilation system so essential in the hot, Texas climate. Among his designs for courthouses in Texas include Bexar County (1891-1896); Victoria County (1892); Ellis County (1895); and McLennan County (1901). In addition, he designed numerous residences and commercial buildings and was selected as the architect for the Texas Pavilion at the World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago in 1893. Perhaps influenced by his experiences at the fair in Chicago, he switched to the use of a Renaissance Revival style at the turn of the century. He was also responsible for the design of the territorial capitol for Arizona (c.1900) and the Mississippi State Capitol (1896 - not built).

Gordon continued to design public edifices in the Renaissance Revival style after his move to New York. Included among his built designs are the Garrett County Courthouse in Oakland, Maryland (c. 1907); the Bergen County Courthouse in Hackensack, New Jersey (1908-1911); the Cambria County Courthouse in Cambria, Pennsylvania (1914-1924); and the Cortland County Courthouse in Cortland, New York (1922-1923). Perhaps his most interesting and controversial project was a proposed 1913 design for a new New York County Courthouse in the form of a high-rise, classical column or "skyscraper column." In addition, he designed residential and commercial buildings such as the Gramercy Park Apartments (1909), and at least four Elks Clubs in New York and New Jersey.

Gordon continually sought to improve the professional standards of the new profession of architecture throughout his career. He served as secretary of the Texas State Association of Architects, the first professional organization of architects in the state. After moving to New York, he served as president of the New York Society of Architects for 13 years (1916-1929) and participated in the writing of the New York building codes. He served on Mayor Hylan's Housing committee; Mayor Walker's Committee on Plans and Survey; the Tenement House Committee; the Committee on the Board of Standards and Appeals; and the Committee on the New York City Building Code. In addition, he was named honorary president of the New York Society of Architects; served as vice-president and director of the New York Association of Architects; was an honorary member of both the Long Island Society of Architects and the Brooklyn Society of Architects

 Scope and Content of the collection

The James Riely Gordon Papers comprise over 6,500 drawings, 13 linear feet of archival material and over 1,600 photographs representing over 300 buildings that document both the Texas and New York phases of Gordon's career. The material dates from 1890 to 1937. Although most of the material dates from 1900 to 1937, representing his New York career, the earlier years in Texas (c. 1890 - 1900) are well-represented by watercolor presentation drawings and photographs. The work of one of his later partners, Alfred Zucker, is also represented in the collection by architectural drawings for buildings in New York constructed during the 1890s (see the Alfred Zucker collection).

The drawings range from elegant presentation watercolors to working drawings, sketches, and shop drawings. There are few working drawings for the Texas years which are largely represented in watercolor renderings. The New York years, however, are well documented by the entire range of different types of architectural drawings. Plaster models exist for several projects, such as the New York County and Bergen County courthouses.

Additional archival materials include correspondence, specifications, letters of reference, photographs, glass negatives, newspaper clippings and plaster models. Gordon was involved in litigation concerning several projects, including the Bergen County Courthouse, the Cambria County Courthouse, and the Elks Club in Hackensack, New Jersey and Newburgh, New York. There is extensive documentation regarding these legal suits. Aspects of his social life and professional achievements are also represented. While the archival material for the Texas years is more scarce, several items are of particular interest: a list of Texas Clients and letters of recommendation from clients around the state. Of particular note are the hand-written minutes of the Texas State Association of Architects (1886-1895), the only such surviving record of the state's first professional organization of architects.

There are also 34 volumes of clippings from architectural periodicals (primarily American Architect and Building News and Inland Architect) that are bound according to building type. Originally from Alfred Zucker's office, Gordon later attached his name over Zucker's nameplate. These volumes contain numerous illustrations of Gordon's work from Texas.

The collection contains various artifacts, including a commemorative trowel, desk set, and his drafting triangles. Gordon's office furniture, consisting of a mahogany desk, 4 chairs, and 2 large filing cabinets, are also included in the Gordon Papers.

The materials were acquired in 1979 with the assistance of a grant from the Houston Endowment, Inc.

Series Abstract

Copy prints for most of the glass negatives have been produced and are made available as part of the paper finding aid for this collection in the Archive. This copy print finding aid must be used first before examining the glass negatives due to their extreme fragility. This list indicates if a copy photograph exists by the notation "copy print made." Subjects reflect Gordon's personal and office, as well as his professional projects. Images include both the actual buildings and photographs of Gordon's renderings.

The Furniture series includes Gordon's office furniture, consisting of a mahogany desk, four chairs, and two large filing cabinets, all designed by Gordon.

 Series K: Models Series Abstract

The Models series includes plaster cast models and bases. Please see the paper finding aid located in the Archive for an inventory.

 Series L: Drawings Series Abstract

Entries in the Drawings series are indexed in alphabetical order by Client's last name. If the client is not identifiable, the field will remain blank. Entries without client names are sorted by Project Name and listed before those that provide client's names. Project names are supplied by the cataloger, as title blocks on the drawings prove to be inconsistent and many drawings are not labeled. Dates are offered if they can be derived from the drawings or gathered from other authoritative sources. The term "drawing" includes both original works (such as pencil on trace paper, or ink on tracing clothe) as well as copies (such as sepia prints, blue line prints, etc.). The drawings range from elegant presentation watercolors to working drawings, sketches, and shop drawings. There are few working drawings for the Texas years which are largely represented in watercolor renderings. The New York years, however, are well documented by the entire range of different types of architectural drawings.
