The Architectural Exhibition in Philadelphia 
defilement. Work of an usually high order 
is contributed by the architectural schools 
attached to Pennsylvania, Cornell and Wash¬ 
ington Universities, and by the semi-private 
ateliers of the T-Square Club, the Atelier 
Blair-Van Pelt and the Atelier Donn Barber. 
Another water-front scheme nearer home 
is the new Erie R. R. Terminal in jersey 
City, which Messrs. Reed and Stem propose 
to be housed in a building whose low roof 
line unites a series of ferry slips made dis¬ 
tinguishable above the low horizon of jersey 
City by a 
c 1 oc k-to we r 
in the form 
of a Campa¬ 
nile, guiding 
river life in 
clear weather 
and in foul. 
These archi¬ 
tects exhibit 
other railway 
stations beau¬ 
tifully ren¬ 
dered, the 
most import¬ 
ant of which 
is the new 
Grand Cen¬ 
tral in New 
York. Other 
designs of 
note for pub¬ 
lic buildings 
are those 
of the Cleve¬ 
land Trust 
Company, by 
Messrs. Car- 
rere & Hast¬ 
ings—a diffi¬ 
cult feat of
