Davis, Alexander Jackson, 1803-1892. Papers, 1826-1877 1826-1854.

Title: Papers, 1826-1877 1826-1854.

Papers consist of a number of formats--artistic and architectural drawings, lithographs, watercolors, photographs, scrapbooks, notebooks, letters, etc.--that document the architectural training and career of A.J. Davis. A significant part of these papers relates to the house Davis designed for William J. Rotch in New Bedford, MA., including letters, watercolors, drawings, blueprints, and exterior and interior photographs of the place. There are also letters to Davis from D.S. Swain, a North Carolina governor, that reveal friendship between the writer and the recipient and that discuss house plans. In addition, there are three floor plans drawn by Bela Hubbard, a Michigan real estate operator, geologist, and lumberman. Identifiable public buildings represented by material in this collection are chiefly in New York City and include the Branch Bank of the United States, Merchant's Exchange, Phenix Bank, Masonic Hall, Washington Institute, Bowery Theater, Second Congressional Church, Trinity Church, St. Paul's Church, St. Thomas Church, and St. John's Chapel. There is one depiction of the Indiana state capitol building. Finally, Davis kept a slim volume on Fonthill Abbey, located in Wiltshire, England. Miscellaneous items include a scrapbook, presumably kept for sources of design, unidentified elevations and floor plans of a variety of dwellings and public buildings, three drawings of furniture, the Davis family crest, and a copy of Metropolitan Improvements : Or London in the Nineteenth Century, by James Elmes (London: Jones and Co., 1829). A diary kept by Davis from 1827 to 1853 is also available on microfilm at this repository, Mic. 90. A microfilm copy of Davis' catalog of his library is on Mic. 717. (The original of this catalog is held by the New York Public Library.).
