Dow Architect [Plaster] Subject The topic of the resource Figure sculpture, American--20th century Description An account of the resource ALDEN B. DOW ARCHITECT, 1971 Plaster original Gift of Mr. and Mrs. Marshall M. Fredericks 1991.107 Alden Dow was born in Midland, Michigan on April 10, 1904, to Herbert Henry and Grace A. (Ball) Dow. From his father, who founded The Dow Chemical Company, came his pioneer spirit. His parents gave him the love of beauty, as expressed in flowers, nature and landscaping, the desire to innovate and search for the inter-reactions which led to the development of ideas of quality,' and the inspirational leadership affecting so many of lives he would influence. Early in his life, Alden Dow developed an interest in design and in the motion and rhythm of the world around him. Floor plans, model trains, recording his world through his movie camera, all captivated and held his interest. As a young boy, Alden and his two younger sisters, Margaret & Dorothy, would design floor plans with leaves out in their yard. According to Alden's youngest sister Dorothy, a friend asked Alden Dow what he wanted to be when he grew up. Alden, only 8 years old, replied without hesitation, "An architect, of course." He attended the Midland Public Schools and, following the custom of the day, went to the University of Michigan to study engineering in preparation to enter his father's company. But he found his interests lay in a different direction and after three years, Dow became a student of architecture at Columbia University, graduating in 1931. Alden Dow married Vada Bennett in 1931, daughter of Earl Bennett (another of The Dow Chemical Company's great pioneers). After a year and a half association with the offices of architects Frantz and Spence of Saginaw, Michigan, Alden and Vada Dow spent a memorable summer (1933) with Frank Lloyd Wright at Taliesin in Spring Green, Wisconsin. Wright, who shared an interest in nature, in the relationships of structural systems and materials to a design, and in the effect of a building as an environment upon those living in it, was a kindred spirit. Returning to Midland, Dow opened his self-designed architectural office in1934. The building is acknowledged to be a classic in the successful and delicate blending of landscape and architecture using Dow's three guiding principles of honesty, humility and enthusiasm.' Alden B. Dow, Inc. was formed in November, 1941 with Dow as president and treasurer. In 1963, the name was changed to Alden B. Dow Associates, Inc. There is a long list of architects who received their training under his guidance. Alden Dow's early work was primarily in the residential field. His own unique system of Unit Block construction dominated his homes of the 1930s. In subsequent decades new materials and styles were developed. His ability to work harmoniously with clients resulted in homes that were personal reflections of the client, yet distinctly 'Now.' At the 1937 Paris International Exposition, he was awarded the "Diploma de Grand Prix" for the best residential design in the world in recognition of the John Whitman residence and his own home and studio designs. He was a registered architect in Arizona, Ohio, Michigan, New York, North Carolina, Texas, and Florida, designing over 60 homes in the Midland, Michigan area alone. During World War II, he designed and personally supervised the construction of the entire town of Lake Jackson, Texas. This bronze plaque is located at the Alden B. Dow Museum of Science and Arts, Midland, Michigan, and the Grand Traverse Performing Arts Center, Interlochen Center for the Arts, Interlochen, Michigan.

Main Exhibit Gallery Provenance 03/22/1989 Gift to Museum and SVSU Board of Control Notes From Jennifer Lentz (Collection Documentation Intern 1991-1992) From a Memo dated March 25, 1992 RE: Conversation with Mr. Fredericks about the history of several works in the gallery "Blain--Molly told me the original cast was stolen from the Blain Hospital in 1961, probably just for the copper. In approximately 1982 another cast was made for the hospital. The hospital was incorporated into another hospital which closed in 1987 and the relief was given to the Detroit Historical Museum. Blain hospital was founded by Alexander Blain, M.D.F.A.C.S. in 1924. Alexander Blain Sr. was a Civil War hero. The hospital made pins of the plaque for 20 years of service." Molly Barth copy: Alexander Blain, Senior, and Alexander Blain, M.D., are the subjects of the next relief. Dr. Blain started the Alexander Blain Hospital in Detroit. He was the first in forming the hospital in this area. Fredericks did this as a memorial. It was cast in bronze and installed on the outside of the hospital. The first portrait relief was stolen so they asked for another cast. Luckily, Fredericks still had this model, so another cast was made and put inside the hospital. Recently, several hospitals in the Detroit area merged together. The actual hospital still exists, but it is no longer called the Alexander Blain Hospital. The portrait relief of Dr. Blain and Mr. Blain, was removed and donated to the Detroit Historical Museum. The next portrait relief is of Tracey McGregor. This was cast in bronze and placed on the McGregor Elementary School. Another cast is at the University of Virginia, and there is a bronze cast of just the head and shoulders of Tracey McGregor at the McGregor Building on the campus of Wayne State University in Detroit.
