Blumcraft Company photographs 1910-1980 photographs

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/54457435

The Blumcraft Company photographs consist of images of members of the Blum family and images related to the work of the Blumcraft Company. Project photographs of Blumcraft wrought iron and aluminum installations make up the bulk of the collection; those dating from the 1930s are primarily residences in the greater Pittsburgh area, while the mostly undated later projects are from all over the world. There are also images of giftware, doors, gates, railings and other metal design elements, as well as a few photographs showing the Blumcraft shop and an architectural design competition for Carnegie Institute of Technology students.
