MULLETT'S CIVIL WAR ERA AUTOGRAPH ALBUM, LINCOLN AND JOHNSON ERA ARCHITECT, SIGNED BY SIX PRESIDENTS: LINCOLN, JOHNSON, GRANT, ARTHUR, GARFIELD, CLEVELAND Architect hired by Lincoln and Johnson to design Federal Buildings symbolizing the power and stability of the Federal government. Following the Civil War, Alfred B. Mullett became Supervising Architect in 1866 and helped bring attention to the federal building program by designing more elaborate federal buildings. Ornate new government buildings in major cities such as Boston, New York, and Philadelphia called to mind the prosperity of the nation.

Lippincott & Co., Philadelphia.” Red pen ownership inscription on ffep: “A.B. Mullett/ Daisy C. Mullett/ L. F. Schmeckebier/ Suzanne M. Smith.” Autograph album with approx. 115 signatures was originally assembled by Alfred B. Mullett (1834-1890) an English-born American architect known for his Second Empire-influenced designs for government buildings, notably the State, War and Navy Building, now the Eisenhower Old Executive Office Building in Washington, D.C. Mullett served with the Union Army and relocated to Washington D.C. in 1863. He served from 1866 to 1874 as Supervising Architect at the Treasury Department, overseeing the design of federal government buildings from Louisiana to Maine. The majority of the signatures collected in the album date from circa 1866 to circa 1889, and include Presidents Abraham Lincoln, Andrew Johnson, Ulysses S. Grant (2 signatures), James A. Garfield, Chester Alan Arthur and Grover Cleveland. Other notable signatures include First Lady Frances Garfield, Civil War military leaders General George B. McClellan, Thaddeus Stevens, Brigham Young, Charles Francis, the Arctic explorer, and autographs from U.S. and state Cabinet Secretaries, Senators and House Representatives. Signatures toward the end of book mostly date from the early 19th Century with approx. 15 signed items laid in including 2 calling cards from Grover Cleveland (1837-1908) with signature as President during his second term in office, with 1894 date on preprinted “Executive Mansion, Washington” calling card; Frances F.
