A social creature who seems to know everyone, Loft J occupant Jamil Malone has hosted several "alcohol-themed" parties and manages to wedge as many as 20 people into his studio.

In addition to signs, Rose documents storefronts, like J. Braun Liquors in New York City. "Julius Braun was a Jewish immigrant who arrived in the United States from Poland with his family in 1921," he writes. "He was only seven years old at the time. City records indicate that the neon signage was installed in 1952. When Mr. Braun passed away in 1995, the store was sold to new owners who, despite changing the business name to ‘Uptown Wine Shop’, never updated the signage out front. No complaints here."

A writer for national and international publications, J. Michael Welton edits architectsandartisans.com. He’s also the author of Drawing from Practice: Architects and the Meaning of Freehand (Routledge Press, 2015).

Favorite American architect: “Jefferson, for making Palladio the American standard of greatness, and Sullivan, for creating an original American architecture.”

"Glass beads were added to the concrete before it was poured," Kevin tells us. "This lightens the weight of the concrete by 37% and adds R-value."
