[250]. It was the selection of the old Trinity College property to provide a site for the new Capitol that led to the rebuilding of the college elsewhere, for which Burges provided the designs (see Chapter [10]).
[251]. It is worth recalling that much the same could evidently be said of Fuller & Laver’s San Francisco municipal group; characteristically enough for the period, this was Second Empire like their Albany Capitol, not High Victorian Gothic (see Chapter [9]).
[252]. See Viollet-le-Duc, E.-E., Entretiens sur l’architecture, 2 vols, Paris, 1863, 1872; and translations, Discourses on Architecture, 2 vols, Boston, 1875, 1881, and Lectures on Architecture, 2 vols, London, 1877, 1881. Originally the Entretiens appeared in parts, those in the first volume beginning to come out about 1860 and those in the second some six years later.
[253]. The two most sumptuously illustrated publications concerning Viollet-le-Duc offer very few examples of new buildings designed by him; these must be sought in periodicals and other general contemporary sources. See Compositions et dessins de Viollet-le-Duc, Paris, 1884, and Baudot, A. de, and Roussel, J., Dessins inédits de Viollet-le-Duc, 3 vols, Paris [n.d.]
[254]. The most extravagant compilation of idiosyncratic detail in Viollet-le-Duc’s work is to be seen on the tomb of Napoleon III’s half-brother the Duc de Morny, erected in 1858 in Père Lachaise Cemetery in Paris. Hardly any element of the ornamentation is clearly referable to a particular stylistic source, and the whole effect is as ‘Victorian’ as anything the wildest High Victorians ever produced in England.
[255]. It should not be forgotten that Street’s Law Courts in London were completed only a year before Steindl began the Budapest Parliament House; but the Law Courts were, for England, extremely retardataire.
[256]. Burges won the competition for this in 1857, but in the end Street received the commission and built the church in 1864-9.
