Buildings Reborn, 1880s-1985
- Scope and content:
-
Materials from major projects centering on the re-adaptive use of historical buildings in the United States, which culminated in a series of nationally-acclaimed books and related exhibits: Buildings Reborn (first volume published in 1979), and Remaking America (first volume published in 1986). Formats in the project files include correspondence, printed materials (including many articles and clippings), photographs, color slides, clippings, photocopies, drafts, notes, and general working files. Earliest materials are research copies and are dated based on content rather than date of creation.
Subseries is divided further into Book, Exhibition, General Working Files, and Research Files; folders are arranged alphabetically by title. Original folder titles have been retained. There is considerable overlap between materials in the General Working Files subseries of Buildings Reborn and Remaking America.
