Roc drawing for Robert Knight, Architect in Blue Hill foundation and framing plan, floor plans, details, elevations, kitchen, bath, schedules Roc's Comments: This is not a house I designed but it was done by my friend and former Yale Architecture classmate, Bob Knight. As I recall I was out of work and called Bob to see if he needed help and he asked me to do the construction drawings for this one. I was happy for the work. The final project was a great success and I am proud to have been associated with Bob.

Floor plans, elevations, site plans, sketches computer 3-D rendering printout Roc's comments: Isabel and John Ed Anthony were the nicest clients I had in 45 years of practice. They had funded a Fay Jones Church near Hot Springs Arkansas and liked architecture. They were patient and good natured and always brought the best out of me. I like them very much and we became good friends. Our office designed six buildings for them. Three here on MDI (two built) and three in Hot Springs (one built) The people who helped me with the construction drawings were Tod Hardy and Jeff Wright.

The Feds thru the AIA research organization, DOE and HUD invited us to design a single family house using alternative heat supply and delivery systems. Harris Hyman and I were given the Northeast and specifically Binghamton, NY as our site. Binghampton is the city with the lowest number of sunlight hours in the Northeast. Harris and I decided, after a few cocktails, that we would design a building that required no outside source of energy beyond the sun and a small wood stove backup for eccentric moments. We were flown to St. Louis and spent a few days presenting and defending our concepts with teams from other regional areas of the US. Our design, and particularly the engineering approach was quite a hit and the jury after much debate accepted the design with commendation but nothing was ever done with the work after the conference ended.

basement/foundation plan, details and specifications, floor plans, elevations, sections, details, schedules Roc's Comments: Sam and Mary Alice Fox were two retired doctors. They had quite an amazing history and decided to retire to his family's vacation site on the Southern end of Long Pond. Wonderful site and truly inspiring people. We went thru an orderly and thorough design and construction process and I enjoyed every moment of it and was honored to be their friend here on MDI after that. We always had some little project to solve together, but I think it was just an excuse to hang out. Their family were all very tall, thus the lofty feeling inside. Mary Alice had severe arthritis and we installed a good sized hot tub off of their master bathroom. No moisture problems due to serious research on our part. If this house pleases the viewer, they are getting just a small sense of how wonderful these two were.

Elevations, floor plan, sketches Roc's Comments: Geddy Mitchell was a local scalawag. I think he sold drugs in his early years and made enough money to buy a bar named Geddy's Pub on Main Street in Bar Harbor. He had something like 70 different altercations with customers when he was trying to clean up the place and never lost one. In one incident he was shot in the back by a shotgun welding neighbor and he survived. He liked me and Helen for some reason and came to the office with his profits one year and said that, while he did not have enough money to buy land on the water and build a house, he did have enough to build a house and would I design a house boat that he might build and moor off shore in various harbors around MDI. This way he might have his water view. We visited with John Letcher of Aerohydro engineers and with Jock Williams at his boatyard to engineer the hull. It was a sweet little project but Gerry being Gerry by the time we solved the problem he was off on the next adventure.
