Description

This series is a collection of 108 glass lantern slides of different buildings worked on by the architectural offices of Ralph Adams Cram and partners. It is divided into five subseries, each representing an architectural firm of which Ralph Adams Cram was a partner and including one or more slides of buildings on which they worked. The slides are of exterior and interior views; renderings, plans, elevations and sections; and models. The dates refer to the dates of construction of the buildings, not the dates of the slides. The dates of the firms are as follows: Cram & Wentworth: 1889-1892; Cram, Wentworth & Goodhue: 1892-1897; Cram, Goodhue & Ferguson: 1897-1913; Cram & Ferguson: 1913-present; and the architectural office of his one-time partner, Bertram Grosvenor Goodhue: 1913-1924.
