Visual Materials
The Edward Durell Stone Collection consists primarily of photographs, drawings, correspondence and publicity related to the Stuart Pharmaceutical Building in Pasadena. The Stuart Company was designed by Stone and the gardens were designed by Thomas D. Church and Associates. Construction began on the building in 1956. The collection was amassed by the vice president of Stuart, Ludwig Lauerhass, Jr. Much of the material was collected by Lauerhass in conjunction with the building of Stuart and the subsequent publicity the building and its architect received after completion.It should be noted that, other than the photographs and some of the correspondence, there is very little in the way of original documentation for the Stuart building. Most of the drawings are blueprint copies and they do not comprise a complete set. Please consult the Curator for further details.
