Architects' and designers' papers, 1767-2003.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/83992760

The collection includes individual letters, small groups of correspondence, published articles, and other papers by architects and designers or about architecture. Although the range is broad, the bulk of the collection consists of correspondence to and from Chicago architects around the turn of the twentieth century, and to well-known architects in other cities at that time. Daniel H. Burnham and William Le Baron Jenney have the largest amount of correspondence in the collection, while others, such as Thomas Chippendale, Inigo Jones, and Christopher Wren, are represented by single items.

8 boxes (3.5 linear feet), 1 portfolio, 2 oversize portfolios, and flatfile materials.
