Edward Durell Stone (March 9, 1902 – August 6, 1978) was a twentieth-century Americanarchitect and an early proponent of modern architecture in the United States.
Early life
Stone was born in Fayetteville, Arkansas, a small college town in the northwest corner of the state. His family, early settlers of the area, owned a prosperous dry goods store. One of his childhood friends was J. William Fulbright, the future United States Senator from Arkansas and Chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. Stone and Fulbright remained friends throughout their lives. Stone attended the University of Arkansas, where his interest in architecture was encouraged by the chairman of the art department. His older brother, James Hicks Stone (1886–1928), was already a practicing architect in Boston, Massachusetts, and James encouraged his younger brother to join him there. While in Boston, Stone attended the Boston Architectural Club (now Boston Architectural College), Harvard University, and MIT, but he never received a degree. While studying, Stone also apprenticed in the offices of Coolidge, Shepley, Bulfinch and Abbott, H. H. Richardson's successor firm. Henry R. Shepley, one of the firm's senior partners, mentored Stone while he was in Boston and assisted him throughout his career.
Born in the "Governor Wentworth House" in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, Durell was the third son and sixth child from his parents. After studying at Phillips Exeter Academy Durell moved onto school at Harvard College where he graduated in 1831. He was fluent in German, French, and Spanish. At Harvard College he read law to enter the Bar in 1834. He had a private practice in Pittsburgh, Mississippi and on January 1, 1836 he moved to New Orleans, Louisiana. He became a member of the City Council of New Orleans in 1854. In 1845, Durell's book, New Orleans as I found it, was published. under the pen name H. Didimus. The book deals with Durell's experience when arriving at New Orleans and how things are different from other places in the United States. From 1862 to 1863, he was president of the Bureau of Finance of New Orleans.

Mary Anne Hunting: Edward Durell Stone - Modernism's Populist Architect
EDWARD DURELL STONE: MODERNISM'S POPULIST ARCHITECT
(W. W. Norton & Co; November 2012)
"Colossus," "visionary," "giant" are terms used to describe Edward Durell Stone (1902--1978), the mid-twentieth century celebrity architect whose popular aesthetic of "new romanticism" played a role in defining postwar American modernism. Architectural historian Mary Anne Hunting will discuss the recent interest in Stone's architecture, which has been spurred by the reconsideration of a number of his buildings--especially the controversial conversion of his most flamboyant New York building, former Gallery of Modern Art (1958--64) at 2 Columbus Circle.
Stone's skyscrapers included commissions for New York's 50-story General Motors Building (1963-58) and the 83-story Standard Oil Building (1970-1974) i...

The first built component of the massive Rockefeller Center, the Music Hall has been the world’s largest indoor theater for over eighty years. With its elegant Art Deco interiors and complex stage machinery, the theater defied tradition to set a new standard for modern entertainment venues that remains to this day.

EDWARD DURELL STONE: MODERNISM'S POPULIST ARCHITECT
(W. W. Norton & Co; November 2012)
"Colossus," "visionary," "giant" are terms used to describe Edward Durell Stone (1902--1978), the mid-twentieth century celebrity architect whose popular aesthetic of "new romanticism" played a role in defining postwar American modernism. Architectural historian Mary Anne Hunting will discuss the recent interest in Stone's architecture, which has been spurred by the reconsideration of a number of his buildings--especially the controversial conversion of his most flamboyant New York building, former Gallery of Modern Art (1958--64) at 2 Columbus Circle.
Stone's skyscrapers included commissions for New York's 50-story General Motors Building (1963-58) and the 83-story Standard Oil Building (1970-1974) in Chicago. Mary Anne Hunting will discuss Stone's work, placing his aspirations of giving form to the aspirations of an emerging consumer culture.
Mary Anne Hunting received her doctorate from the City University of New York's Graduate Center and a master's degree in the history of decorative arts and design from the Cooper-Hewitt, National Design Museum/Parsons School of Design.

In October of the same year, he signed a lease with Columbia University for a parcel of land in Midtown Manhattan. Unfortunately, infighting between members of the opera committee and the Stock Market Crash of 1929 led to the project’s demise, leaving Rockefeller with a long-term lease that cost him $3.3 million a year.[1]

Edward Durell Stone (March 9, 1902 – August 6, 1978) was a twentieth-century Americanarchitect and an early proponent of modern architecture in the United States.
Early life
Stone was born in Fayetteville, Arkansas, a small college town in the northwest corner of the state. His family, early settlers of the area, owned a prosperous dry goods store. One of his childhood friends was J. William Fulbright, the future United States Senator from Arkansas and Chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. Stone and Fulbright remained friends throughout their lives. Stone attended the University of Arkansas, where his interest in architecture was encouraged by the chairman of the art department. His older brother, James Hicks Stone (1886–1928), was already a practicing architect in Boston, Massachusetts, and James encouraged his younger brother to join him there. While in Boston, Stone attended the Boston Architectural Club (now Boston Architectural College), Harvard University, and MIT, but he never received a degree. While studying, Stone also apprenticed in the offices of Coolidge, Shepley, Bulfinch and Abbott, H. H. Richardson's successor firm. Henry R. Shepley, one of the firm's senior partners, mentored Stone while he was in Boston and assisted him throughout his career.
If you have visited the EcoTarium, you may be familiar with the iconic concrete 1968 structure designed by Edward Durell Stone... "In fact, Durell Stone had originally planned an addition to the museum, ...
... planning the future capital Islamabad; and architects from US who contributed to the establishment of the nation-state's institutions, such as Louis Kahn, Richard Neutra and Edward Durell Stone.
