That building, the friends claimed, was Architect Goodhue's sovereign design, imbued with all his prowess and pride. To hear it criticized was torture to him. And, in Nebraska not only had he faced charges of ineptitude and duplicity, but, unlike the commission which had picked the bold Goodhue design from among ten other plans submitted, many Nebraskans were blunt, blind, interpreted everything in financial terms. If Architect Goodhue had been...
