There is a two story brick building on 611 Cathedral Street, just behind The Walters Art Museum, in Baltimore, Maryland.
At the center of the structure, there is only one entrance and one window facing to Cathedral Street. This symmetrical facade is complemented with an attached one car garage. There are no business signs that suggest what is inside. It was the same in back 1973. This was Peter D. Paul Architect's office.
Although Peter did not design this building, it suited him. He was a calm and quiet person, and did not try to disturb his surroundings. He seemed to prefer listening rather than talking of himself. This might be why there was still a mastery of the depth of his thinking. He was a classical minimalist in many ways.
Peter helped many professionals to get their careers started, including myself. Sometime, I wondered how he could make ends meet for himself. I did not realize how much he was giving to his associates and employees until I became an employer myself later.
Thank you Peter,
Kazu Ikegami
