Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: Honorary Life Member of the Lather's Union, Local No. 74 L.I.U. Dirsmith's most treasured award was being inducted as a lifetime honorary "A" member into the Lath and Plaster's Local Union No. 74, L.I.U. by James P. Donohue, President in 1969. His design work re-vitalized the ancient art and craft of plastering in Chicago which had been disappearing since the introduction of sheetrock and drywall construction techniques after WWII. He worked with tools-of-the-trade, side by side with old world master mechanics, Joseph Feldner, Jack Stevens and Pat Reed, forming and shaping the sculptural plaster forms on many of his projects. They were outstanding collegial teachers and artisans. Davis McNulty, head of McNulty Brothers, the oldest plastering company in Chicago commented: "Dirsmith's work is the most exciting thing done in plastering since Louis Sullivan and Dankmar Adler built the Auditorium." |
