The reins of collaboration with Albert Krell was turned over by his financially gifted brother, Bertram, during the Main Barrack project. This long-distance collaboration proved so satisfactory that Edwin, the more artistically creative of the two siblings, settled into his late father's cottage, the Farmhouse, from whence he supervised the foot-printing of all campus buildings.
