WASHINGTON D.C. POST- l6-Nov l974 -NOTED ARCHITECT DIES SUDDENLY.
by Martin Neil - Washington Post Staff Writer
H-2 Nicholas Satterlee, 59, a wash. D.C. architect who specialized in rehabilitation of historic landmarks & the preservation of the city's architectural environment, died in his sleep Saturday at l824 47th Pl. N.N.
His death was attributed to a heart attack by a family spokesman. Mr. Satterlee was born in Rochester, N.Y., graduated from Harvard College with a B. A., & from Harvard Graduate School of Design in 1941, with a Bachelor of Architecture Degree.
After service as a navy officer during World War II, he began serving his apprenticeship here in l946, & became a practicing architect in 1949. Highly regarded as an architect here, Mr. Satterlee was known as a meticulous designer who took great pains in his plans to assure that modernization did not impair the integrity of historic buildings. His voice was heard in letters published in newspapers or in interviews on such matters as the location of the Kennedy Center, the need to preserve Glover Archibold Park against encroaching development & the need to remove restrictions hampering urban renewal. Among the works for which he received high praise were the master plan for the rehabilitation of Logan Circle NW which was yet to be carried out, and a plan for restoration of the old Executive Office Building, which also has not been put into effect.
Describing as exemplary the proposals made by Mr. Satterlee in the 1960's under commission from the government to restore the old EOE, Washington Post architecture critic, Wolf Von Eckardt call the work "ingenious, imaginative, tasteful & in reverent keeping with the character of the building's spirit and architecture." Under his plan all of the accretion of 20th Century fixtures that had been gradually & obtrusively added to the walls and corridors of the l888 building were to be removed. They were to be replaced by air conditioning ducts & other modern electrical & mechanical equipment, carefully concealed in order to preserve the spirit of Victorian building in its original, ornate glory.
Under a commission to study the feasibility of restoring the Treasury Building as well, Mr. Satterlee conceived a plan under which the Treasury, white House & Executive Office Building would form a special executive enclave, linked symbolically as well as physically in a single, beautiful park. The park was to have been created by closing & landscaping both East & Nest executive avenues, which now flank the white House, & separate it from the Treasury & the EOB.
Mr. Satterlee was past president of the Washington Chapter of the American Institute of Architects, chairman of the awards jury for Mrs. Lyndon D. Johnson's Committee for a "More Beautiful National Capital," a former first vice president of the Barney Neighborhood Settlement House & vice chairman of the committee on land marks of the National Capital Planning Commission.
