and in other ways, left his landmarks all over Ohio, but especially on tQe campus. He \

was known best perhaps as the designer of the Ohio Stadium. But in late* years friends

told him that his most lasting monument was the towering pile of the greatly enlarged

University Library, known officially as the William Oxley Thompson Memorial Library,

which dominates the main University landscape.

Smith was born February 21, 1886 in Dayton. In 1907 he was graduated from Ohio·

State with the degree of civil engineer in Architecture. In his senior year he was a

student assistant. He next entered Columbia University where in 1910 he was graduated

with the degree of bachelor of architecture. From 1910 to 1918 he was associated with

the office of the well known architect, John Russell Pope. At Columbia he received

a Perkins traveling fellowship in architecture.

In February» 1918' he "came home, 11 so to speak as professor of architecture. This

stay on the campus was relatively brief since in May, 1921 he became architect for the

Columbus Board of Education. Meanwhile, however, he designed and was architect for

the Ohio Stadium. This giant structure was unique in that it was horseshoe-shaped with

an overhanging "C" deck. It also won for Smith a gold medal from the American

Institute of Architects.

Smith was in continual demand as a consultant for various agencies or on specific

projects. Among those he listed wer~ Wittenberg College, the Upper Arlington Board of ;

Education, the Columbus and Springfield Y.M.C.A.'s, the Deshler Hotel (Columbus), the

million-dollar First Congregational Church, Columbus, where he represented the John

Russell Pope office, the Springfield Masonic temple, the Marietta and Columbus city

halls, and the city of Lancaster.

Nor were his efforts confined to large projects. A final note on a list of his

undertakings reads: "Architect for approximately 50 miscellaneous residences and

':I.D.S. *

·apartments, Franklin County, Ohio." Some of these were modest homes while others were

more pretentious. \

Other honors came his way. In 1940 he won another competitive gold;medal from !

the Ohio Society of Architects· for the design of an elementary school in Upper

Arlington, the Columbus suburb where he lived. In 1945 by action of the Columbus

chapter he was named a fellow of the American Institute of Architects. In 1955 he ;£,.,,.J..,

received the University's Distinguished Service~·

In September, 1929; meanwhile, he had been named'University architect and head of

the department of architecture. He continued to be University.architect until his

retirement in 1956. In the early post-war years he was responsible for the design of somE

of the major new buildings that began to dot the campus. Among these were Hughes Hall

(music), the new Physics Building - later the Alpheus W. Smith Laboratory, the

Agricultural Laborator*es, the multi-million dollar addition to the main library, the

optometry building, and especially the St. John Arena and French Field House, and the

new central service building. The task of designing and overseeing the construction of

so many new buildings in those years became such that some outside architects were

........ engaged for the purpose as, for example, with the new Ohio Union, the Mershon Auditorium, -{N.u..

and most of pl•• ofle:r ene"\ in the new Medical Center complex. In all, it was said that he

planned thirty campus build~ngs.

In 1956-57 ·Smith was on a Fulfuright grant which took him to the University of

Alexandria, Egypt. This was a strange experience in that the Egyptian authorities

approved the grant and welcomed Smith and his wife and then, in effect, hampered his

best efforts to carry out his teaching assignment as he understood it. His official

task, under the grant, was "to lecture on architectural design and philosophy." He

came home at the end of the year feeling frustrated.

In 1955 Smith suffered a stroke and in April, 1958 another. He died April 27,

H.D.S. *

1958 full of years and honors and, by an odd coincidence, only six days before his I

old friend and associate, Carl E. Steeb, (q.v.), longtime business manager and I . i

secretary of the Board of Trustees. I

Some who knew him thought Smith was too rigid in some matters. But he was a man I

who knew his mind and, once made up, he was slow to change it although he was amen:l'able

to suggestion. In respect to the St. John Arena, for example, at least five sets of

plans. were developed before agreement was reached on the final one. Smith was well

' aware of human limitations and used to say that he had learned long since not to try

to chan~e nature's laws.

As Monuments to Howard Dwight Smith

¥ ~~-~-~~ S~ith, who resides at_. 280 Village Drive, left rPi~ native .Dayton just after the tum of the· century 'lo. attend OSU as a civil engineering.student. i· .. It so happened at that time that SOJ!IC civil :'?,"gineering and architecture primary courses were ~gether," explains· Smith. "And one of my friends ·~~ ... ho was studyh!g to be an architect encou~aged me

: chang~ my major." ~:~ ~- Following graduation in 1907, Smith attended the Columbia University School of Architecture and fb:eived a degree there in 1910. t_ After studying abroad for a year on a Columb~a fet~owship, he joined a New York archi~ect firm. $s eldest sdn, incidentally, is a senior partner today Iii that same firm. :;;; In· 1918 Smith became affiliated with 03U as -~ archit~t and also as a professor in that field. -~ "My first .major project was being asSigned, li!Ong with Professor Clyde T. Morris of the civil ~gi'neering department, to draw~ plans for the foot~1 stadi~m," recalls Smith. "The university author~d a special office just for the one project." :~ .. The biggest stadiums at that time were in the ~t.· where Ivy League football was "big time." Sljlith say~ he studied the various designs of the statms, "esr>ecially at Yale, Harvard and Princeton." ? When the new OSU stadium had been proposed, it~as generally agreed to have a capacity of 40,000.

The late L W. St. John held out for a larger stadium, and the osy board of d.~rectors relented· to where· they .agreed to a stadium of 50,000 capacity. ·

However, by the time, bids were taken, plans called for a seating capacity of 63;000. In 1940, some aisles were eliminated and the capacity jumped to 75,000.

In· 192-1, ·the American -Institute of Architects. awarded OSU a top honor for the plans of the stadium. -

That same year, Smit~ left .O.SU and': became associated with the Columbus Board of Education until 1929,_ ~en he returned to. the univefsity.

In the interlm, until his recerlt retirement, Smith designe_d the majority of buildings on the Ohio State campus.

These include the gym arid natatorium, faculty club, bacteriology, sociology, aqd botany and zoology buildings. ·

Smith has made five trips abroad studying various ideas on ,..architecture and making··Jecture tours.

His avocation is sketchh)g, and it helps Smith keep a close association with his first love-architecture.

Of his vocation, Smith says it is "gratifying and satisfying. A building is a monument of the. works of many pecple."

Although retired, Smith still l::eeps in touch with his former vocation.

OSU architect's work to be shown in Union

By Lisa Gavin in·- lo ~s \

Although some people say Ohio Stadium is "the house that Woody built," the man who actually designed and supervised its construction was Howard Dwight Smith, former university architect.

To honor Smith, who also designed the journalism building and Pomerene Hall, Paul Morrill, former associate university architect who worked with Smith for 20 years, and David Douglass of the Creative Arts Program (CAP), are presenting an exhibit in the Ohio Union.

The exhibit, on the third floor of the Ohio Union's main lounge, starts Friday and continues through Nov. 16. Smith's travel sketches, as well as his building designs, will be displayed.

His travel sketches were drawn during five trips he made to Europe.

"Howard Dwigh\ Smith is part of Columbus history. In particular, he's part of OSU history, part of its heritage," Morrill said.

·smith was a 1907 graduate of OSU and returned in 1918 as professor of architecture.

Three years later, he left the campus and became an architect for the Columbus Board of Education. He designed the Ohio Stadium in 1921.

The American Institute of Architects, a professional group, awarded Smith a gold medal for the

stadium's design. Smith was also a recipient of the OSU Distinguished Service Award at the June 1955 graduation ceremony.

11 An all around contributor, Smith is an inspiration for OSU students," Morrill commented. t'He went above and beyond his call of duty when he designed the university flag, the OSU coat of arms and the Alumni Gateway at 15th and High Streets. This work was done during Smith's spare time.

Among the 50 campus buildings he planned are St. John Arena, French Field House, the Faculty Club and the Main Library addition.

Project may house poor AIDS patients Building on city, U.S. historic registers By Steve Wright Dispatch Staff Reporter

A developer wants to conve1t a histolic North Side laboratory and office building into 21 efficiency aprutments for people with disabilities and, pos.5ibly, AIDS.

01ton House Limited Partnership, formed by Scioto Development Co. for the project, wants to rehabilitate the Olton Memorial Laboratory at Summit Street and 8th Avenue.

The building would be preserved but virtually gutted to create apartments for "persons needing limited human care," says an application to rezone the site. Sources with the University Area Commission, which will make a recommendation on the rewning before it goes to the Columbus City Council for a vote, said the building is proposed for low-income AIDS patients.

"I don't think we should get into this," said John Dougherty of Scioto Development Co.

"This is going to be renova~ for people who are disabled - physically challenged, not mentally," he said. "Most are not going to have cars. That's why we need a variance to drop the amount of parking required, so we don't tear up the nice side yards."

Mike Barren, an attorney for the project, also skirted the possibility that people with AIDS might live in the rental units.

"We're not stipulating that, we're not limiting it to (people wiUi AIDS), but that is within the realm of pos.5ibility," he said.

The three-story building was built in 1929 . to house the ceramics laboratory of Edward 01ton Jr. Orton, who died in 1932, fo1med a foundation to perpetuate ceramics research after his death.

The Edward Olton Jr. Ceramic Foundation moved to Westerville more than a decade ago, and the building was taken over by the Business Technology Center. The structure, with terra-cotta features and extensively ornamented with leaves and medallions, is on the National Register of Hist.ode Places as well as the city's register.

According to the application for the National Register, the building's architect was Howard Dwight

· Smith, the architect for Ohio Stadium and Ohio State University's Mack Hall. 01ton, who . helped build Camp Mary Olton on the Far North . Side, was the son of Edward Olton, first president of OSU.

Howard Dwight Smith AIA, FAIA, Architecture Society of Ohio

1886-1958

Howard Dwight Smith had the vision and skill of an artist, tempered by a disciplined mind, which brought his visions to life. He was born in Dayton, Ohio, on February 21, 1886, and grew up not far from the Wright Brothers Bicycle Shop. When he left his modest, strict home in Dayton - the first of his family to go to college - he quickly grasped the

intricacies of design and engineering and eagerly embraced the new world opened to him by The Ohio State University.

After graduating in 1907 with a Bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering in Architecture, he earned his Master's degree at Columbia University and then was awarded a Perkins Traveling Scholarship to study architecture in Europe for a year. The lessons he learned there from the classical Roman and Greek buildings and from the Gothic cathedrals made an indelible impression on his heart and mind and molded his architectural style for the rest of his life.

Although he is best known as the Architect of Ohio Stadium (for which he won an AIA Gold Medal in 1921), as University Architect from 1929-1956, he designed over 50 other university buildings, including St. John Arena, OSU Golf

Clubhouse, Thompson Library, and numerous academic buildings and dormitories. He also designed class memorials, the university flag, official seal and coat of arms. He taught architecture at OSU for 30 years, receiving the Distinguished Service Award in 1955.

As Consulting Architect to the Columbus Board of Education, he designed what is now Indianola Middle School, the first junior high school in the nation, and West High School, as well as about 20 other school buildings. He supervised other architects in designing North, East, South and Central high schools. Also for Columbus, he was the chief designer and architect with Allied Architects for Columbus City Hall and the Central Police Station.

Mr. Smith served as consultant for civic and business groups, worked actively for the professional organizations of which he was a member, and wrote numerous papers for architectural and other publications.

He was among the early residents of Upper Arlington, designing his home at 1891 Devon Road in 1918 and quickly becoming part of the community's civic, church and social life. As Upper Arlington's Consulting Architect, he designed the first Municipal Building on Arlington Avenue (now Fire Station 71 and home of the UA Historical Society's archives), UA's first high school (now Jones Middle School) and Barrington Elementary School, for which he won the Ohio Society of Architect's Gold Medal in 1941. Smith also designed numerous UA residences including his second home at 1950 Arlington Avenue and his favorite, the Orville G. Brim residence at 2363 Tremont Road. During his almost 40 years of residency in LIA, he filled many volunteer roles for First Community Church and served on the UA Board of Building Standards as well the City Planning Commission.

Some of the characteristics which made him an outstanding architect: No problem baffled him. He believed the simplest solution was the best solution, but when complexity was needed, he eagerly worked out a complex solution. He believed that only complete technical mastery could free a skill or idea to reach its fullest potential. He was precise and focused. He believed that the smallest detail deserved the same diligence as the grandest building. He had an eye for pleasing finishing accents, such as the copper ornamentals marching serenely across the roofs of most of the buildings he designed at the University. The roof of Columbus City Hall also has that trademark.

The guiding principles of his life were no less disciplined than the guiding principles of his design. Although he appreciated his guaranteed income from OSU during the Depression and he benefited from grants given to him by wealthy philanthropists, he believed that money did not signify a person's worth and that no one needs more than a certain amount of money to live comfortably. He had no investments and precious little savings. His creative genius impressed the architectural firm of John Russell Pope, in New York City, where he worked for seven years after he returned from his European study at age 25. He could have had a lucrative career there, but he chose to earn a modest professor's salary back in Ohio and to work unceasingly for almost 30 years to bring his vision of the OSU campus to life. He did not participate in politics, but he voted for the Socialist Party candidate for president, Norman Thomas, for many years. He was particularly proud of his work on Poindexter Village, a low-income government housing project, built in 1941 on Columbus' East Side. He embodied the principle of "ethical," and taught Ethics of Professional Practice of Architecture. Many of the students who dreaded his

no-compromise expectations were later surprised by their appreciation of his teaching methods. He wanted no special treatment for himself nor anyone else; for instance, he never had, nor wanted more than four tickets to the OSU football games (albeit on the visitors' 50-yard line).

Mr. Smith was a committed Christian, an early and active member of First Community Church. He expressed his Christianity by an almost obsessive integrity, a true humility, a lack of prejudice and an unending search for truth.

"HD" was a devoted husband and father. When his first wife Myrna Cott, died unexpectedly at age 44 in 1930, he was left to raise five children, ages 5 to 18. Five years later, he married Mary Edith Thompson Gramlich, who brought her two children into the family. He was proud of them all. Six of his seven children attended out-of-town colleges; the seventh earned her Bachelor's, Master's and PhD degrees from OSU. Mr. Smith died in Columbus on April 27, 1958. Three daughters, Myrna Smith Dupler, Priscilla Smith D'Angelo and Jane Gramlich Ritter, survive.

Thoughts on Howard Dwight Smith Howard Dwight Smith, iconic past Professor and Ohio State University Architect, was my most valuable mentor as he influenced a change in my plans for a post-graduation position, for which I am eternally grateful. I never dreamed that this would lead to following in his giant footsteps to become Assistant Vice President/University Architect at The Ohio State University during the building boom of the '80s and early '90s, and I sincerely hope that I lived up to his expectations. - Richard W. Eschliman, Architect Emeritus, AJA & AUA

Aside from being a sensitive and skilled artist with both pencil and watercolor, his intense dedication to the profession of Architecture and his leadership in getting things done, have served as an inspiration, not only to his family and friends, but to many architects, engineers and builders with whom he worked with a fierce sense of self-discipline and accomplishment. - R. Jackson Smith, son

I'm a retired architect and graduate of the School of Architecture, class of 1951. HD Smith was one of my professors. He taught Professional Practice, a two-hour course in each of three consecutive quarters. He was quite a taskmaster, giving us as much work of any five-hour course. But to this day, many of my fellow graduates and I say that we took away more from his teaching than just about any other course we completed. - Dan D. Milosovich, AJA-£

Howard Dwight Smith as a teacher of the practice of Architecture was extremely well qualified to convey, in meaningful ways, the best procedures for future practitioners to use in creating their professional careers. One thing he said that still rings true: "Do not expect any of your buildings to survive after 70 years." - Richard Thomas, OSU '51

My grandfather, Howard Dwight Smith, did more than create architecture that withstood time; he also laid out the blueprints to his children on how to lead an exemplary life. This was especially true for my dad, who was also an architect, and one of the most genuinely honest, kind, talented, brilliant people I have ever known. I know his blueprint came directly from his dad. By honoring HD, you are honoring all who have ever known him. -Suzanne Smith lynch, granddaughter of Howard Dwight Smith, daughter of R. Jackson Smith

A perfect gentleman. An exceptional, extremely capable teacher. He frequently threw competitive challenges to his students. A distinguished architect. Devoted, totally dedicated to his students. Always available for assistance, advice and guidance. Regardless of his passion for quality architecture, he always had his feet on the ground. His teaching and farsightedness gave our class a head start. He pointed me to my first employment following my graduation. He was my most influential teacher, also my most enjoyable one. - Lee Brubaker, AJA

As a non-related member of the Smith clan, our families were acquainted from HD 1s student years; my father graduated in Civil Engineering in 1907 -the same year as HD. Then, in the post-WW II years, I served in the University Architect1s office in the capacity of Designing Electrical/Mechanical Engineer. Hughes Hall was the first of many OSU buildings on which I provided engineering design. HD Smith required his office staff and the contractors working on campus buildings to provide superior service to The Ohio Sate University and left his mark on many campus buildings - and in far-reaching conceptual campus planning. Those were good years. - Thomas B. Smith, Associate Vice President-Emeritus
