Friendship Oak NS DAR
By Joe Pilet, publicist
Fred Wagner, a well known Bay St. Louis architect was guest speaker on Saturday when members of the Friendship Oak Chapter NS DAR met during the lunch hour at the Ramada Inn of Long Beach.
Announcing his topic as ‘Pericles - Meet Victoria,’ Wagner told the group that fashions in buildings seem to change about every 25 years. He explained fashions in furnishings, fabrics, and wearing apparel also change and are influenced by financial conditions, political factors, climate, and the taste of socially prominent persons.
In a relaxed, conversational, and frequently amusing manner, Wagner led his audience through the quarter-century periods in architecture beginning with the 1700-1725 and continuing through the 1850’s. Trends in architecture in the 1700’s were related to artistic events with France and England setting the styles.
Pericles, whose birth must have been somewhere around 490 B.C., fostered the highest in arts and science in the ancient world. Possibly with a bit of ‘tongue in cheek’ Wagner ‘revived him,’ while pointing up the beauty of simplicity.
The Gothic style developed in France, Wagner said, and touched on its acceptance and approval throughout many European countries, and later finding favor in this country.
In judging architecture, Wagner said what may be admired by one generation may be called ‘ugly’ by another. Beauty, strength and usefulness are the rule of thumb by which churches, buildings, and homes are to be judged.
In discussing Georgian architecture Wagner said the name was derived from the English kings who reigned during the time of George I, II, III and IV. Georgian architecture greatly influenced American colonial homes and churches.
Wagner said both Bay St. Louis and Biloxi have excellent examples of typical early styles and mentioned the French, Spanish, and Caribbean influences depicted in the older parts of these little cities.
The next regular meeting of the Friendship Oak Chapter is scheduled for Wednesday, April 9 at 2 p.m. in the home of Mrs. Nunez C. Pilet of 520 Highland Drive in Bay St. Louis. David Watts of the Hancock County Forestry Commission is to present a slide program on famous trees of Mississippi.
