The papers of Richard C. Franks offer the unique perspective of a preservation architect on the renovation and restoration of both the State Capitol (Lansing, Mich.) and Michigan Governor's Summer Residence (Mackinac Island, Mich.). This collection is an invaluable source of documents related to the history of each of these structures, the structural changes, and the exterior and interior design details. From a chronicle of each structure's historical roots to the nuts and bolts involved with preservation projects, these materials present a model of how architectural preservation is planned and enacted.
