Nevin and Sanderson Architectural Drawings Collection
Description:
This collection contains architectural drawings by Charles K.B. Nevin and Edward T. Sanderson, who both practiced in the early twentieth century in New England. The relationship between Nevin and Sanderson is unclear, as they were contemporaries but never worked in the same architectural firm. The collection includes about 100 projects from Nevin, arranged by client name in alphabetical order. The projects are mostly residential, as he designed homes in Williamstown, Massachusetts, Brookline, Massachusetts, and other towns throughout New England. Nevin also designed a few commercial and industrial properties, most notably the Industrial School for Boys in Shirley, Massachusetts and store fronts in New York and Boston. Also included are properties on the campus of Williams College in Williamstown, Massachusetts. The drawings are ink on starch coded linen and are identified with a unique but undiscernible project number. The collection also includes the architectural drawings of Edward T. Sanderson, who also worked on residential and industrial buildings in New England. The drawings are also arranged by client in alphabetical order.
