This collection includes her Mexico travel notebook containing the contact information for the many Mexican architects documented in the book The New Architecture in Mexico, scrapbooks of vintage Mexican postcards, photographs, and original negatives. Quantity/ Extent 3 linear feet Language of Materials English and Spanish Biographical/ Historical Note Esther Baum Born was born in 1902 in Palo Alto, California. She studied architecture at the University of California, Berkeley under John Galen Howard, and graduated in 1926. The same year, she married Ernest Born, and together they ran an architecture practice from 1945-1973.

The city’s magic and culture date from ancient times and make Cuernavaca the perfect vacation destination for travelers who wish to admire the natural beauty of flora and fauna, archeological sites and beautiful town squares with historic colonial buildings. With lovely weather, natural attractions and a great location near Mexico City, Cuernavaca is often a preferred destination for both national and international travelers. VACATION CITY Cuernavaca is a popular weekend getaway destination for residents of Mexico City thanks to its excellent climate and convenient location. This does not appear to be a recent trend as the habit of visiting Cuernavaca has existed since the time of the Aztecs. Before the Spanish conquest, the Aztec emperors would travel from the heart of Mexico City (known then as Tenochtitlan) while “sitting on their thrones”. A LITTLE BIT OF HISTORY Cuernavaca has been inhabited since 1200 B.C., making it one of the oldest cities in the country. Hernan Cortes retired here and built a castle where he lived until 1540, when he returned to Spain. Father Jose Ma. Morelos y Pavon was entrenched in Cuautla de Amilpas for a few weeks during the Mexican War of independence, and Cuernavaca was even the capital of Mexico for a few days! As far back as the pre-Hispanic era, celebrities have chosen Cuernavaca as their place of residence or preferred vacation spot, including Aztec emperors, Hernan Cortes, Maximilian of Hapsburg, Plutarco Elias Calles and the great psychologist and writer Erich Fromm.
