    Photographs of Airform Construction

    Visual Materials

    This collection contains photographs, papers and published articles related to Los Angeles architect Wallace Neff (1895-1982) and his work designing residential and public buildings, primarily in Southern California, approximately 1913-1960s. The bulk of the collection consists of photographs of residential exteriors and interiors, with some views of other buildings; photographs of Neff's sketches; photographs of architectural drawings; portraits of Neff and family members; and correspondence and patent drawings pertaining to airform construction. The airform construction or "Bubble house" materials also include snapshots of airform housing under construction in St. Thomas, Virgin Islands, 1961. An autograph copy of Neff's book "Architecture of Southern California" (Rand McNally, 1964) is also part of this collection (Box 6).
