...last week, after a night of tossing and turning, California Industrialist Arthur Hanisch, 63, gave up his vain effort to sleep. "You'd better go back to bed, Arthur," said his wife, "Santa Claus isn't here yet." Hanisch was, indeed, like a boy waiting to see a new toy. Twenty-nine months ago he set out to build a dream palace for his small (140 employees), 17-year-old pharmaceutical business, the Stuart Co. He hired Manhattan Architect Edward D. Stone after seeing a picture of Stone's highly praised design for the New Delhi embassy...
...First Look. Hanisch kept his word, though he admitted he had passed by the plant late one night after a bridge party and "damned near knocked off three cars looking the other way." Now it was opening day. With Architect Stone, Owner Hanisch rode up to his brand-new, three-acre, $3,000,000 combined office and plant in Pasadena. He saw a dazzling, 400-ft.-long, low, white-and-gold façade, faced with an airy grille of masonry, half given over to a carport spaced by hanging saucer-gardens. Black-bottomed reflecting pools reached under the cantilevered...
Taking the keys from easygoing, Arkansas-born Ed Stone, Hanisch made his way inside to an even bigger surprise. Instead of the confined central shaft that he had seen in the early plans, he found himself looking out over a spacious patio or Roman atrium, a sort of immense Pompeian inner court, to be used as a dining area, with three huge, gold-colored saucers overflowing with vines and ferns suspended at varying heights, and with mother-of-pearl light globes, which seemed to float, for illumination. It was a sight fit for a maharajah's eyes; said Industrialist...
...Change the World." Then Hanisch had a question: "Can this place also make pills?" Striding through the well-lighted, air-conditioned plant, with its white walls and precisely placed blue machines (white and blue are Stuart Co.'s colors), he found a more than satisfactory answer. With an elliptical swimming pool and 30,000 sq. ft. of gold-roofed, pagoda-like recreation shelter in the form of a hyperbolic paraboloid to be finished in two months, Pillmaker Hanisch has a building that combines beauty, efficiency, and the atmosphere of a country club...
...Viennese newspaper published an article by an engraver named Reinhold Hanisch, who had lived with Germany's Chancellor Adolf Hitler in Vienna before the War. He declared that Hitler at that time associated with Viennese Jews, condemned Russian pogroms because "one can hate in the individual but not in the mass." In 1909 Hanisch & Hitler lived on public charity, later on made small sums by selling Christmas cards which Hitler painted. Once after seeing a film Hitler remained highly excited for days. Questioned about it, he explained: "I saw a demagog haranguing his followers! That was great! That...
