Theodore Conrad (1910-1994) was an American architectural model maker. This collection is composed primarily of model photographs, press clippings and other documentation, drawings, and administrative papers. The visual materials mainly consist of model making documentation from Conrad's career as a professional model maker for major architecture firms, most notably Skidmore Owings and Merrill and Edward Durell Stone.
