in memoriam: David H. Hulihan, april 10, 1939 - May 12, 2018 /
David Hulihan joined Cram and Ferguson Architects predecessor firm, Hoyle Doran & Berry, Inc in October 1971. David had been employed at Harrison and Abramowitz in New York City after graduation from Columbia Architecture where he worked on Rockefeller Center projects. During his time at Hoyle, Doran & Berry he worked on the State office buildings at Government Center including space planning for a number of state agencies including Attorney General Belloti's offices. His experience and interests were in office buildings and office space and he worked on the new Building for National Life Insurance Company in Montpelier, Vermont and the renovations of the National Life Insurance and State Mutual Life Insurance Headquarters office buildings in Worcester.
David had a deep knowledge and understanding of heavy and technical construction and of high quality detailing he put to use on all of the projects he completed. He excelled in solving complex technical problems including constructing antenna towers atop the Prudential Insurance Building in Boston.
He was an excellent manager and teacher and everyone who worked with him came away with a better understanding of how to put a building together in a logical way that would endure through the years.
David was a wonderful partner to me during the 7 years we worked together and we collaborated not only in running the business of Hoyle, Doran & Berry and descendant firms; HDB/Cram and Ferguson and Cram and Ferguson Architects but also in establishing a practice of high standards and humanity. David was always a good friend to me and I relied on him greatly up to his retirement from active practice in February 1998.

Design was completed on July 15, 2017 for a new 1200 seat church for the University Parish at the University of Virginia in Charlottesville. The new church is inspired by Byzantine and Romanesque themes that respond to the Rotonda designed by Thomas Jefferson on "the Lawn" nearby.

Shrine of Our Lady of Good Voyage included in List of 58 Gems of Boston /
June 3 and 4, 2017 The Boston Architecture Foundation event dubbed CB17 Common Boston highlighted a diverse range of sites that shed:
"light on the great and hidden architecture of Boston. The goals of Common Boston are to promote a greater appreciation of the built environment, inspire discussion about excellence in design, planning, and preservation, and broaden awareness of the rich architectural and cultural traditions present in diverse communities throughout Greater Boston."
Among the 58 site featured in this year's event was our Shrine of Our Lady of Good Voyage, the continuation of the waterfront seafarer's chapel in the Seaport District.
The Festival program praised the Chapel design as a "beautiful house of prayer, intimate in size but majestic in its elements."
"Built in the 1950s to serve fishermen, longshoremen, and their families, the Chapel moved to a new site this year to better serve local workers. The new chapel retains much of its nautical heritage with a ceiling patterned after the hull of a ship and walls inscribed with the prayer “They that go down to the sea in ships, that do business in great waters…” It is a beautiful house of prayer, intimate in size, but majestic in its elements."
The festival booklet with the other 58 sites can be viewed and downloaded here. For the booklets from other years and more information about Common Boston and its annual program look here.
