Cret, Paul Philippe, 1876-1945. Paul Philippe Cret architectural records, 1823-1945 (bulk 1896-1945).

Title: Paul Philippe Cret architectural records, 1823-1945 (bulk 1896-1945).

Cret's archives were donated to the Library of the University of Pennsylvania by John F. Harbeson, Cret's student and colleague, and a partner in his successor firm, Harbeson, Hough, Livingston & Larson. The collection was later divided, and almost all the architectural drawings and project-related photographs were transferred to the Architectural Archives, together with a small amount of additional material. The archives, as received by the University Library, had been organized and, in many cases, annotated by Harbeson. Most of the materials transferred from the Library to the Architectural Archives had been mounted on large sheets of paperboard in groups of project-related drawings, photographs, and clippings, with annotations in Harbeson's handwriting. At the time of the transfer, the University Library retained all of Cret's correspondence, writings, and teaching files and nearly all personal materials. This collection is rich in Cret's sketches, renderings, and other design materials. Cret's student drawings and early competition renderings are a highlight of the collection. Of special note are renderings he made as a student in Paris, particularly "A Museum of Archaeology" and "Rendering of a Stair," and his oversized, elaborately rendered competition drawing for the Robert Fulton Memorial (with Albert Kelsey and Louis E. Jallade). These three drawings and several others in this collection were published in professional journals during Cret's lifetime. The earliest project materials are designs for a school, made ca. 1896 while Cret was employed in the office of Louis Rogniat, in Lyon. The latest is a design for a bridge in Philadelphia in the year of his death. Projects with numerous design drawings include the Washington Memorial Arch at Valley Forge, the Detroit Institute of Arts, the Folger Shakespeare Library, the University of Texas, and a number of war memorials (including the Quentin Roosevelt Memorial and various memorials for the Pennsylvania Battle Monuments Commission and the American Battle Monuments Commission). The collection contains 132 student drawings, 47 watercolor paintings, 4 sketchbooks, and 453 sketches not related to specific architectural projects. Although nearly all the materials of personal or biographical nature were retained by the University Library, the collection contains photographic portraits, an oil portrait (by Carlo J. Ampaglia), diplomas and honors, photographs taken during World War I, watercolors by Cret's father-in-law, Oscar Lahalle, and a sketchbook (dated 1828) of Pierre Bernard (architect of Lyon, France, a member of Cret's extended family). Also useful for biographical research are Cret's sketches for interior alterations to his own residence in Philadelphia (1913, 1920). The collection contains no office files from Cret's firm, nor does it contain original construction drawings from his office. After John Harbeson's death, the firm withdrew from its archives and sold a large quantity of materials related to Cret's projects. These materials may be consulted at the Athenaeum of Philadelphia. Construction drawings in this collection were acquired by the Architectural Archives from other sources, including prints of Cret's Chemistry Building for the University of Pennsylvania, prints of the Pan American Union (with Albert Kelsey) and prints of the Hartford County Building. None of these is a complete set.

Laird, Warren Powers, 1861-1948. Warren Powers Laird architectural records and papers, 1888-1945.

Title: Warren Powers Laird architectural records and papers, 1888-1945.

The Warren Powers Laird collection comprises records of his consulting practice and professional papers in 85 scrapbook volumes, together with two personal items (a photographic portrait and an award medallion). Of particular importance to researchers are Laird's detailed records from U.S. architectural competitions under his supervision between 1894 and 1932. The collection includes especially lengthy documentation of the competitions for the design of the Pennsylvania State Capitol and the Delaware River Bridge (Benjamin Franklin Bridge). Notable campus planning projects for universities and other institutional clients include: the University of Pennsylvania, Carnegie Institute of Technology, Brown University, Northwestern University, the University of Wisconsin and the Sesqui-Centennial International Exposition (Philadelphia, Pa.). Researchers may refer to the finding aid for this collection for a complete index of projects. Laird's documentation includes correspondence, manuscript notes and lists, printed competition programs, formal reports to clients, printed ephemera and newsclippings. Laird also preserved a variety of visual material, including his own sketches of his planning projects and of competition entries, clippings of architectural drawings and buildings from professional journals and newspapers, photographic images of architectural drawings, models, buildings and sites and a relatively small number of photomechanical reproductions of architectural drawings. Visual materials are found for more than sixty projects, many of them competitions. Of particular interest are visual materials related to the following architects: Paul Philippe Cret; Zantzinger, Borie? Raymond Hood, Godley and Fouilhoux; Thomas, Martin and Kirkpatrick; Cram, Goodhue? Palmer? Delano? Cass Gilbert; Edgar V. Seeler; Rankin, Kellog? Harry Sternfeld; William Van Alen. Researchers may refer to the finding aid for this collection for additional significant architects and firms. The volumes document only three orignal design projects by Laird himself: his own house in Merion Pennsylvania (with Edgar V. Seeler) and two projects in Laird's home town of Winona, Minnesota, Winona Public Library (with Edgar V. Seeler) and the Masonic Temple (with Charles F. Osborne).

Myron Bement Smith collection, circa 1910-1970

Title: Myron Bement Smith collection

The Myron Bement Smith collection consists of two parts, the papers of Myron Bement Smith and his wife Katharine and the Islamic Archives. It contains substantial material about his field research in Italy in the 1920s and his years working on Islamic architecture in Iran in the 1930s. Letters describe the milieu in which he operated in Rochester NY and New York City in the 1920s and early 1930s; the Smiths' life in Iran from 1933 to 1937; and the extensive network of academic and social contacts that Myron and Katharine developed and maintained over his lifetime. The Islamic Archives was a project to which Smith devoted most of his professional life. It includes both original materials, such as his photographs and notes, and items acquired by him from other scholars or experts on Islamic art and architecture. Smith intended the Archives to serve as a resource for scholars interested in the architecture and art of the entire Islamic world although he also included some materials about non-Islamic architecture.

Cret, Paul Philippe, 1876-1945. The building/Paul Philippe Cret records, 1919-1931 (predominantly 1919-1921).

Title: The building/Paul Philippe Cret records, 1919-1931 (predominantly 1919-1921). 1919-1931.

These records, dating from Cret's tenure as architect of the Detroit Institute of Arts, consist primarily of correspondence and relate exclusively to the design and construction of the building. Of particular interest is the correspondence between Cret and Clyde H. Burroughs, secretary of the Arts Commission; Albert Kahn, commissioner and nationally known Detroit architect; Bryant & Detwiler, general builders and William R. Valentiner, museum director. The correspondence reveals an almost daily concern for details of construction progress and reflects the complexities of funding and carrying through a major architectural project. The records also document the development of original design features of the museum plan, described by Cret in 1923 as the "mingling of exhibits" of various media, the harmonizing of each room's architecture with its contents, the sequential arrangement of the collections and the provision of space for relaxation and social activities. William Valentiner's contribution to the design arrangement of the galleries is of a particular interest in this context. Other records relating to Paul P. Cret and the Detroit Institute of Arts project can be found at the original architecture firm (H2L2), located in Philadelphia, PA and the Rare Book Library, University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, PA. Additional information also may be found in the records of Clyde Burroughs, William Valentiner and the audio-visual section of the Museum Archives of The Detroit Institute of Arts. The Graphic Arts department maintains a file of architectural drawings of the building by Cret, Zantzinger, Borie and Medary.

Philadelphia City Planning Commission. Architectural Drawings and Photographs for Two Planning Studies, 1927-1936.

Title: Architectural Drawings and Photographs for Two Planning Studies, 1927-1936.

The collection, on permanent loan from the Philadelphia Planning Commission, comprises two architectural drawings and three photoprints for two planning studies prepared between 1927 and 1936. Both studies are related to the Benjamin Franklin Parkway and nearby buildings and streets. The earlier project was begun before the foundation of the Commission and was presented to the Commission in the month after its founding. In 1924 Paul Philippe Cret had suggested a plan for demolishing City Hall while retaining its tower as the focus of the new Parkway and the other streets that converge at Centre Square, the central point of William Penn's original layout of the city. At the request of the Philadelphia Commission (a group of private citizens formed by Edward W. Bok devoted to the "beautification" of the city) Cret further developed the scheme with his former student Harry Sternfeld, and together they presented a comprehensive plan to the City Planning Commission in May 1929. The proposal was never built. This project is represented in the collection by one original drawing, a large (48" x 30") presentation elevation in pencil on board. The second project, designed in 1935-1936 by the staff of the City Planning Commission, projected the further development of the Fairmount Parkway in relation to an emerging vision of the Market Street corridor between City Hall and the newly built 30th Street Station. The plan, titled "Fairmount Parkway and Connections," was a significant expansion of the earlier Parkway plans, and was the forerunner of development plans by Louis I. Kahn (Triangle Area Redevelopment Plan and Civic Center Plan) and by Edmund Bacon.

Title: William J.H. Hough papers, 1765-1925 (bulk 1907-1919).

The collection contains personal correspondence, sketch books, scrapbooks, photographs, architectural drawings and other materials related to Hough's student years at the University of Pennsylvania and his years of study in Italy. The collection also contains photographs of drawings (ca 1920-1925) of Paul Cret's Delaware River Bridge, designed and built during Hough's early years in Cret's firm. Hough's correspondence is limited to his time in Europe 1911-1919, nearly entirely with family members. Hough's letters and photographs provide insight into architectural education, his fellow students, and World War I in Italy from the perspective of a student and a Red Cross worker. There is no correspondence with Paul Cret, who was serving in the French army while Hough was at the American Academy in Rome. Hough's sketchbooks document his travels in Italy, and his scrapbook titled Italian Villas documents more than 20 villas with sketches and numerous photographs. The collection contains a group of remarkable large renderings, including "Monument to a Deceased Ruler" which won the Rome Prize in 1914 and "Fountain and Colonnade, Piazza di San Pietro, Rome" a fine large rendering made at the American Academy in Rome. The collection contains two items by Hough's fellow students in Rome: an etching by Grant Miles Simon and a drawing by H.I Stickroth. The oldest item in the collection (1765) is a large engraved view of Rome by Giuseppe Vasi.
