Collections : [Avery Drawings & Archives]

This collection includes photographs taken by Robert Bien of historic and architecturally significant churches and railroads in New York City, New York State, California, Connecticut, Colorado, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Pensylvania, Québec, Rhode Island, Texas, and Toronto between 1982 and 2002.

The collection consists of pencil sketches and drawings by Romaldo Giurgola for three Michell/Guirgola Architects architectural projects. The three projects represented in this collection are Mission Park Residential Houses for Williams College in Williamstown, Massachusetts (1971), three schemes for The American Institute of Architects National Headquarters Building Competition in Washington, D.C.(1965-67), and The Sherman Fairchild Center for Life Sciences at Columbia University in New York City (1977).

The collection documents the design development and construction of the Randolph and Amalie Rothschild Residence in Baltimore, MD. The papers, collected by the owners, Randolph and Amalie Rothschild, consist primarily of correspondence, specifications, and floor plans and sketches by architect Percival Goodman. There is a significant amount of correspondence between the Rothschild's and Goodman regarding alterations to the design. This correspondence underscores the larger theme of client-architect relationships and its influence on the design process.

This collection includes architectural drawings on linen, tracing paper, and paper, microfilmed drawings; photographic prints; a job list; and a small group of specifications and correspondence for the Ogden Reid residence. Buildings represented are primarily in New York City, with a few commisions built in the surrounding region. Projects include apartment buildings, private residences, offices, hotels, and hospitals.

This collection contains lectures, notes, photographs, correspondence, and architectural drawings documenting the work of Russell Sturgis, and, secondarily, his son, Lyman Sturgis. The materials were created between 1874 and 1932.
