Biographical History
Claude Fayette Bragdon, architect, stage designer, author, and poet, was born in Oberlin, Ohio, on August 1, 1866. In 1891 he moved to Rochester, N.Y., and in 1923 he settled in New York City until his death in 1946. His architectural designs include Rochester's New York Central Railroad Station and the Rochester First Universalist Church. His books include THE GOLDEN PERSON IN THE HEART (poems, 1898), ARCHITECTURE AND DEMOCRACY (1918), MERELEY PLAYERS (1929), and MORE LOVES THAN ONE (autobiography, 1938).
Claude Bragdon (1866-1946) designed many buildings and homes in Rochester, New York, including the Bevier Building on RIT's downtown campus, the Canandaigua Historical Building, the New York Central Railroad Station (now demolished), and the First Universalist Church. In addition to architecture, he wrote and lectured on a wide array of topics, including theosophy, yoga, theater, and the occult. He established the Manas Press in 1909 to publish his theosophy work and the poetry of Adelaide Crapsey. Bragdon's work can still be seen all over Rochester today. He taught at Rochester Athenaeum and Mechanics Institute, a precursor to RIT, from 1894-1897. Bragdon eventually moved to Manhattan and designed theatrical sets for Walter Hampden.
Architect, stage designer, and writer Claude Fayette Bragdon (1866-1946) worked as an architect in Rochester, New York City, and Buffalo, before moving to New York City in 1923, where he worked primarily as stage designer. Bragdon designed for several shows produced by actor and theatrical manager Walter Hampden. Bragdon was also the author of several books on architecture, design, and theosophy.
Alfred A. Knopf, Inc., founded in 1915 by Alfred A. Knopf (1892-1984), started by publishing translations of Russian and European works. By the 1920s, Knopf was publishing major American authors yet continued to publish important European authors as well. Knopf was renowned not only for its impressive list of authors but for the quality of its book production. The firm was acquired by Random House in 1960.
