| TEXT | Under the bright light of the nineteenth century the arts, professions and sciences have advanced to such a degree of perfection that it hardly seems possible that future generations will be able to improve upon them. In no other thing has there been a more decided revolution than in the construction and architecture of our public buildings and private dwellings. Among the most prominent architects of New York may be mentioned the name of Mr. Charles H. Smith, No. 233 Broadway, who commenced the active practice of his profession in 1870, and is widely known as a practical architect of unusual talent and originality, and has rapidly built up a most flourishing business. He has prepared plans and superintended the erection of many notable buildings in the city and its vicinity, among which may be named the Park Avenue Baptist Church, Plainfield, which is the most complete and handsome ecclesiastical structure belonging to the sect of Christians in the United States, the Children's Home (for orphans) at Plainfield, N.J., the Muhlenburg Hospital, Plainfield, considered one of the most complete cottage hospitals in the United States, and likewise many of the most splendid private houses of our wealthy New York citizens. Grenelle College, Iowa, has also been built according to Mr. Smith's plans, and is considered by competent judges a marvel of elegance and symmetry. Mr. Smith is a native of Brooklyn, and when a young man, devoted himself entirely to the study of his profession in all its details, and is an architect of great ability. He is fully prepared with all the necessary facilities to execute or carry out any architectural undertaking, not only promptly but with that intelligent apprehension of design which makes his efforts so highly appreciated. Mr. Smith is held in the highest estimation by the community for his unswerving honor and integrity, and has achieved a prominence in his profession accorded only to those whose transactions are based on the strictest principles of professional probity. |
