American Institute of Architects, Certificate, 1921-1940

 File — Box: 1, Folder: 2

Scope and Contents

From the Collection: The Walter Ellsworth Ware architectural drawings and papers (1875-1984) contain about 700 architectural drawings of buildings designed by Ware and his partners. The majority of these buildings are residences located in the Salt Lake City area. Ware worked with several partners--Alberto O. Treganza, Ezra M. Cornell, and Charles L. Thompson. Treganza contributed, perhaps, the most. About two-thirds of the designs in this collection are of high-Victorian styles, with some neo-classical detail. Other designs reflect the Romanesque Revival, Gothic Revival, and Prarie Style.

The collection also contains a few of Ware's personal papers such as an autograph book, certificates, a deed, a brochure, name plates, and some sketches and plat maps.
