architect v. builder

Latest comment: 5 years ago4 comments2 people in discussion

Hi, User:MB, how do you determine that both Alonzo C. Johnson and Henry Ramsaur are builders and that neither is an architect? I do hope this is not a guess. Your edit summaries suggests the purpose of recent edits is to clear maintenance errors. --Doncram (talk) 05:14, 18 February 2019 (UTC)Reply

Doncram, I don't know which articles these are from but the determination was made from either reading the text of the article or the text of the nomination. But there are some "fuzzy" issues regarding this. If the structure is, for instance, about a early 19th century farm house and the nomination says "farmer Smith was the first settler and built the house...", I presume that from the context to mean that he physically constructed it as well as designed it and specify Smith as builder only (leaving the architect field blank since the design aspect is not that significant).

Some nominations will say something like "wealthy doctor Jones built the mansion", which I interpret to mean that instead of buying an existing structure, he had one built (just like we still say today). But since he didn't physically construct it himself, his name does not belong in the builder= field. Absent of any other information that says who was the architect or contractor, I leave both blank - even if the database lists him as "builder".

I have been unable to access some forms (get this message): "The owner of nrhp.focus.nps.gov has configured their website improperly. To protect your information from being stolen, Firefox has not connected to this website." Do you know what is wrong? Lyman School for Boys, ref1 is an example. MB 15:22, 18 February 2019 (UTC)Reply

Doncram, It is clearly stated in the nomination: "On May 10, 1884, the county contracted with local builders, Alonzo C. Johnson and Henry Ramsaur to build a new jail, the fifth jail in the history of Lumpkin County." MB 16:22, 24 February 2019 (UTC)Reply

Hi, thanks for replying, User:MB. As on another article, there is no NRHP nomination referenced in the article. Could you please add it? --Doncram (talk) 17:58, 24 February 2019 (UTC)Reply
