Biography
Biography
He married Lucia Meigs, granddaughter of William Van Duzer Lawrence (1842–1927), in 1921. In 1924, he designed the house at 105 Lee Circle, Lynchburg, Virginia, now included in the Rivermont Historic District. He also designed or modified a number of residences in the Lawrence Park Historic District at Bronxville and the estate Green Pastures at Middleburg, Virginia. Nathaniel Stout donated his grandfather's sketchbook and letters to the Archives and History Department of Alabama in 2014. This unprecedented series, first displayed during the centennial of World War I, includes extensive sketches of military training, amusing aspects of camp life, the architecture of the French countryside, and Stout's view from the cockpit.
