Celebrating Bertram Grosvenor Goodhue

An innovative genuis, Bertram Grosvenor Goodhue combined Gothic and Hispanic designs with modern ideas and revolutionized church architecture. His fanciful Spanish Churrigueresque buildings for the Panama-California Exposition inspired a revival of Spanish styles in the United States.

Today is Goodhue's birthday: He was born April 28, 1869.
