Visual Materials
This collection contains working plans, original drawings, renderings, correspondence, and photographs for approximately 150 projects designed by architect James E. Dolena in the mid-20th century. The majority are residential projects primarily in Los Angeles and Beverly Hills dating from 1926 into the 1970s. Many of Dolena's commercial and public projects are also represented. There are over 100 plans, drawings, and details for the landmark Los Angeles Farmers Market complex, dating from approximately 1934 to the 1960s. There are a few projects outside of California, and two projects are by architect Arthur R. Kelly. Photographers represented in the collection include Fred Dapprich and Maynard Parker.
