Author of Julian Abele, Architect and the Beaux Arts recently published by Taylor & Francis. Abele (1881-1950) was senior designer for the Office of Horace Trumbauer in Philadelphia. He was the third African American admitted to the AIA in 1942. Abele designed 21 buildings that are listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Not listed on the Register, nevertheless, Abele designed 39 buildings for a "new" Duke University (1925-42) without ever stepping foot on campus because of racial prohibitions.
