Joseph Bell DeRemer and Samuel Teel DeRemer: Architects in North Dakota

M. L. Dennis Consulting

From introduction: "The Joseph Bell DeRemer and Samuel Teel DeRemer: Architects in North Dakota context has been developed to provide a broad overview of the history of the resources designed by this father and son architectural firm in North Dakota between 1902 and 1955. It is designed to be used as a guide for the identification and evaluation of buildings that derive significance, entirely or in part, from having been designed by the DeRemers. The scope of the project included archival and field research pertaining to the works by the DeRemers. The project did not include a survey of resources, although there were site visits to a number of buildings. Four research questions were identified and addressed for this context. They included (1) the historic background of the DeRemer family and architectural firm; (2) the evolution of work and design approaches; (3) a summary of the works by the DeRemers with information pertaining to quantity, distribution, chronology, characteristics, and significance of their projects; and (4) evaluation criteria and recommendations for future research and study." Funding for this project was provided in part through a 2011 Historic Preservation Fund to the North Dakota State Historic Preservation Office (project number ND-11-038, grant number 38-11-31941) administered by the State, Tribal, and Local Plans and Grants Division, National Park Service, U.S. Department of the Interior.
