Description:
- This album was advertised in Hugh Pagan Limited, cat. no. 29, item 70, with the following description: "Students of British architecture of the period around 1900 will be amazed to discover this really very extensive record by a French architectural photographer of seaside villas, boarding houses and so on built in the closing years of the nineteenth century in and around Margate and Hastings. The absence of captions and explanatory text makes detective work necessary as regards exact locations and architects, but as there is no remotely comparable British publication of this date devoted to this kind of house, M.Lévy deserves the warmest appreciation for his zeal. NUC records a copy at Princeton only, and there was no copy of this title in the Weinreb firm's Small English House catalogue of 1977."

AP154.S1.1973.PR01.SS2
Description:
Sub-series AP154.S1.1973.PR01.SS2 Addition from Pasanella + Klein Stolzman + Berg (2007) contains records donated by Pasanella + Klein Stolzman + Berg in 2007. The sub-series documents interior design and renovation projects by Pasanella + Klein or Pasanella + Klein Stolzman + Berg dating from approximately 1978 to 2007. Some of the projects in this subseries have been identified by Tom Stetz as being related to Article 26 of the 1980 lease agreement between the landlord Teachers Insurance and Annuity Association of America and the tenant Joseph E. Seagram and Sons. A copy of the lease agreement is present among the textual records of this subseries. Renovation projects documented in this sub-series include interior design projects for the 5th and 6th floors, proposed modifications for the "Picasso Alley" area, and unrealized schemes for an elevator and wheelchair ramp for the plaza. There are also some original drawings for furniture designs. The sub-series also inlcudes digital files containing font typefaces for the building's display alphabet. A substantial part of the subseries is composed of documents from the 1950 and 1960s that are related to the original design and construction of the Seagram Building. These documents include twelve rolls containing approximately 500 copies of working drawings from the period 1955-1963. The original design is further documented by a 1955 outline of specifications for work and materials.

Description:
This series documents two projects by the firm Eva Vecsei Architect.

In 1973, Vecsei was hired as an architect by Group Concordia Developers (GCD) to design La Cité, a high density mixed-use residential and commercial project in Milton Park, Montréal. The project was comprised of multifunctional complexes of residential units, offices, a shopping mall, and a hotel with a year-round outdoor pool. The project was realized by the architects Eva H. Vecsei and Dobush Stewart Longpré Marchand Goudreau. The project is also known as "Cité Concordia". The Place Bonaventure was also developed by GCD, where Vecsei was the head project designer from 1964 to 1967. Besides these projects Eva Vecsei Architect also designed concepts for the city centre (1976) and a mixed-use complex (1978) in Karachi, Pakistan. The bulk of the Eva Hollo Vecsei collection is arranged in this series and was produced between 1969 and 2008.

Description:
The project files documenting the construction of the Wayfarers' Chapel and site are extensive and quite complete. The documentation is more complete for the first two units of construction than for the latter units. Thus, the internal coherence of the papers is more apparent for the earlier development of the project. The most comprehensive record of the development of the Wayfarers' Chapel is contained in the "Supervision Journal" which covers the period from 1947-1971 (files 97a/97b of the "General Files"). It should be noted particularly by researchers using these papers. The research value of the "Supervision Journal" is complemented by a substantial body of general correspondence which documents Lloyd Wright's interaction with the client and with other parties involved with the design or construction of the Chapel (the Palos Verdes Corporation, the Wayfarers Chapel Building and Properties Committee, and Reverends of the Chapel between 1947 and 1960). Further correspondence relates to the publicity for the Chapel between 1951 and 1965. The textual documents are augmented by an extensive array of visual materials, such as drawings, photographs, postcards, newspaper articles and trade catalogues, which are valuable for providing a pictorial record of the Chapel and site from its earliest through to its later development. The "Trade Catalogues and Supplier Ephemera" file (file 98 of the "General Files") contains a record of the products and supplies Lloyd Wright considered or used in the construction of the Wayfarers' Chapel.
