Series I: Student Work

This Series contains primarily small to large scale watercolor drawings developed by Levi during his years as an architecture student. It is divided into two main subseries: drawings created at Columbia University and the drawings produced at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris (the majority correspond to the latter). As some of the drawings do not necessarily specify school origin, dates and language differences were taken into account to establish this ordering. The collection provides an incredible insight into the architecture educational legacy of the École des Beaux-Arts at the end of the 19th century. Drawings show classic building representation techniques, including plans, elevations and sections, metal and timber details, perspectives and descriptive geometry studies. Drawings are divided by date, and, when stated, divided by the distinct professor in charge of the class, such as Atelier Godefroy and Freynet, Lucien Magner, Victor Laloux and Scellier de Gisors.

This Series also include a collection of coursework sketchbooks, travel notebooks, study albums and tracing paper sketches; as well as photographs taken during the time.

Series II: Taylor & Levi Project Records

Julian Clarence Levi's architecture practice started after he returned from Paris in 1905. During the first half of 1905, he worked under architect Herbert D. Hale. He was also associated with Francis Kimball from 1905-07, designing and developing what appears to have been his first major commission: Seligman Building. From 1907 to 1962 he became partner in the firm of Taylor & Levi, alongside American architect Alfred S. Taylor, with whom he would design a wide range of commercial and non-commercial projects. Private luxury residence projects, however, represents the vast majority of their work.

This Series is divided into two subseries: one focused exclusively on the firm's numerous residential projects, ordered by the owner's name; and the second dedicated to their other projects, organized by project type, such as cafes, camps and clubs, churches, exhibitions, mausoleums, stores, universities, among others.

The Series is mainly made up of photographs showing the projects' final outcome and contract papers, although some working drawings, plans and renderings can be found for specific projects. However, little evidence remains of the firm's design process as no preliminary drawings or sketches exist. A third and final subseries is dedicated to William G. Beck Projects, one of Taylor & Levi's employees who became the Office Manager in 1954 after Levi retired.

Series III: Professional Papers

This Series is mainly focused on Levi's correspondence as a member of the New York Chapter at the American Institute of Architecture (AIA), between 1911 and 1956. As Chairman of the Committee on International Relations, Levi kept in contact with numerous architects around the globe, especially from France and Latin America. Several documents also account for architectural events and congresses developed during the fifties such as the Pan American Congress of Architects held in various countries in Central and South America. Due to the international nature of his work at these institutions, it is possible to find correspondence in English, French and Spanish. Subseries 2 is dedicated to the Chartres Cathedral Window Restoration, a donation made possible by the AIA Chapter members, the Henry Adams Foundation, and individuals, in order to restore one of the 7 by 26 feet windows of the Chartres Cathedral in France damaged during the French Revolution. This Subseries consists primarily of correspondence and gives a detailed account of the process behind the window's restoration through letters exchanged between the Restoration Committee (Harold B. Willis, Julian C. Levi, Ralph Walker, and Alex Hoyle), as well as other key personalities such designer Jean Maunoury, AIA president Glenn Stanton and French ambassador Henry Bonnet. Some letters are accompanied with photographs and drawings sent to the Committee, showing the design and manufacturing process of the window.
