Wins Home Design Prize

An architect's plan for a three-bedroom house featuring rolling windows of thermopane design won for Prentice Bradley '28 a $250 honorable-mention award in a nation-wide contest conducted by the National Association of Home Builders and ArchitecturalForum. Bradley's award, which was for his use of glass, featured large windows of double-paned glass joined together by half-inch metal bonds. Designed to slide to improve ventilation, the windows recall the rolling or sliding windows and doors used in Japanese houses and Victorian dwellings. Results of the house design competition were published in the March issue of Architectural Forum.

As technical director of the Modular Service Association from 1939 until 1948, Bradley specialized in the correlation and standardization of building materials and equipment as an efficiency measure benefiting builders, architects and the buying public. He is the author of several articles on modular construc- tion.

Following a year of graduate work at M.I.T., Bradley received his Master's in Architecture from Harvard in 1933. He worked for two years with Dartmouth's architect, Jens Fredrick Larson '28h. He is at present a partner in the architectural firm of Bradley and Gass, in Pittsfield, Mass.
