Guide To The Julia Morgan Papers, Nancy E. Loe Dec 2005

Guide To The Julia Morgan Papers, Nancy E. Loe

Nancy E. Loe

Julia Morgan practiced architecture in California during the first half of the twentieth century. A persistent misperception exists that she destroyed the records of her fiftyyear practice when she retired in 1951. In fact, she carefully preserved original architectural drawings and plans, office records, photographs, correspondence, project files, student work, and personal papers, which were given to California Polytechnic State University by her heirs. More than twenty-seven additional donations of original Morgan materials have been given to Cal Poly by other donors, which are also included in this guide.
