He went to private schools, Hotchkiss then Yale, eventually pursuing a career in architecture. Both his father and paternal grandfather's careers were in banking. After earning his B.A. and M.A. degrees in architecture at Yale, Woollen worked for three years in New Canaan, Connecticut: one under the tutelage of Phillip Johnson, a nationally known architect, and two on his own. In 1955, at the age of 27, Woollen returned to Indianapolis, both setting up an office and marrying within a week of his return. His first Indianapolis practice specialized in residential design. By 1968, the firm was incorporated as Woollen Associates, and its range included a variety of building types, from commercial structures to public housing. Later, the firm was renamed Woollen, Molzan and Partners. Woollen has had a great impact on Indianapolis architecture. Some of Woollen's more famous buildings include Clowes Memorial Hall, the Minton-Capehart Federal Building, the silver addition to the Indianapolis Marion County Public Library (now Indianapolis Public Library), the entrance hall at the Children's Museum, and the Barton Tower on Massachusetts Avenue.

  • Indiana Architect September, 1965
    INDIANA ARCHITECT SEPTEMBER, 1965 6 I extend greetings to the architects of the Americas: the artists and builders who create and sustain the cities of the New World. We have learned—too often through the hard lessons of neglect and waste—that if man brutalizes the landscape, he wounds his own spirit; if he raises buildings which are trivial or offensive, he admits the poverty of his imagination; if he creates joyless cities, he imprisons himself. And we have leanied that an environment of order and beauty can delight, inspire and liberate men. It is your responsibility as architects to communicate these essential truths. You determine, in large part, the shape of our cities. Those cities, in turn, determine the shape of our lives—so profoundly that future generations will ponder our architec• ture to learn our deepest values. Your work, therefore, has meaning which endures be• yond the life of the most lasting buildings, and you have a great task: to influence men to use their technical and com• mercial power to beautify the earth—not to blemish it. May you pursue that task with energy and vision. May your success be so great that when the judgment of the future is made, ours will be remembered as the Age of Beauty. LYNDON B.
