Page 33: "Hook died in 1978 on her 101st birthday. In 1983, nine of her houses in Kansas City were listed on the National Register of Historic Places and designated as local landmarks. In their nomination of these homes for inclusion on the National Register, the Kansas City Landmarks Commission wrote: 'As a woman and a practicing architect, Mary Rockwell Hook was a pioneer, opening a path for other women to follow and thus making a significant contribution to the history of American architecture.'"
