Architect Society
« on: April 28, 2003, 02:12:15 PM »
At the Winter Gathering I met a few members from the Tillie Society.  I have also just found the Donald Ross Society and Raynor Society.  I think these are great additional resources to learn about some the great architects.  Does anyone have a list of the different Architect Societies and their websites?

First of all, I know of a "James Braid Society' = http://www.jamesbraidsociety.com/indexnew.htm

Then, there is the Donald Ross Society = http://www.donaldrosssociety.org  ........  I have heard of the MacKenzie Society.  There is a Tillinghast Society =  http://www.tillinghast.net/toc.html  and a Friends of Seth Raynor group, as you may want to check out the "Feature Interview" of their past Chairman, Henry Terry, on GCA.  http://www.golfclubatlas.com/interviewterrie.html
 
Currently, W.S. Morrison has contacted me about starting a William Flynn Society, and Chris Clouser has spoken about starting a Perry Maxwell Society.
 
Last but not least there is the Shivas Irons Society = http://www.shivas.org ......  Their organized get-togethers look fabulous!!

Of course, there could be some others......?

Clyde Johnston has an interesting and ambitious site:

I would encourage many of you to submit contect so Clyde can complete more profiles. Please, however, refrain from submitting my profile for many, many years.
