Zantzinger, Borie and Medary (Firm). Zantzinger, Borie and Medary architectural records, 1897-1966.

Title: Zantzinger, Borie and Medary architectural records, 1897-1966.

The bulk of the collection documents institutional and church designs of Zantzinger, Borie and Medary spanning the years 1897-1957, including predecessor and successor firms Field and Medary, Zantzinger & Borie, and Borie & Smith. St. John's Church (Lower Merion, PA), the Washington Memorial Chapel (Valley Forge, PA), and the Philadelphia Divinity School, are especially well represented through drawings. The collection also contains an extraordinary painted plaster site model of the Philadelphia Divinity School, showing the project's intended ultimate design, including buildings which were never built. The collection does not contain any materials related to the firm's many residential works, their collaboration with Paul P. Cret for the Detroit Institute of the Arts, or their well known Bok Tower, Mountain Lake, Florida. Materials for these projects at the Architectural Archives of the University of Pennsylvania are found in the Paul Philippe Cret Collection and the Lee Lawrie Collection. Other firms represented in the Zantzinger, Borie and Medary Collection are Samuel Yellin, Metalworker, Thomas W. Sears, Landscape Architect and Carroll, Grisdale & van Alen, Architects (Philadelphia Divinity School, 1966 Master Plan).
