T. Norman Mansell architectural records and personal papers, 1922-1968.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/63662091

This collection is the primary archive of the work of architect T. Norman Mansell, comprising architectural drawings, photographic prints, manuscripts and memorabilia, documenting buildings and projects spanning the years 1922-1969. Mansell's drawings made while he was a student at the University of Pennsylvania, 1922-1926, illustrate not only his own development but also the method of teaching architectural design in the School of Architecture during that period. The vast majority of the collection documents Mansell's professional work, primarily for church organizations and congregations, 1945-1965. Drawings for these 138 projects are usually limited to a selection, made by Mansell himself, of four to six presentation drawings. Development and construction drawings are found in a handful of projects only. The following projects, listed in the American Architects Directory are not represented in the collection: Elementary School, Primos, Pennsylvania, 1952; Office Building, U.L.C.A.
