This series is made up of 138 albums with photographs by Ezra Stoller. Stoller was the preferred photographer of the New York office of Skidmore Ownings & Merrill. Stoller's work for S.O.M. ranged from model photography to interior and exterior shots of completed projects. The photo albums were likely created by S.O.M. for client presentations and for staff reference.
This subseries consists of 132 albums of black and white photographs by Ezra Stoller for major works done by the New York office of S.O.M. during the period of the early 1950s to the late 1960s. There are few projects represented that were designed by either the Chicago or San Francisco office. The albums are arranged beginning with non-U.S. projects followed by U.S. projects listed alphabetically by state and city.
