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.

  • Movie-Going on the Margins: the Mascioli Film Circuit of Northeastern Ontario
    Movie-Going on the Margins: The Mascioli Film Circuit of Northeastern Ontario A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY JESSICA LEONORA WHITEHEAD GRADUATE PROGRAM IN COMMUNICATION AND CULTURE YORK UNIVERSITY TORONTO, ONTARIO February 2018 © Jessica Leonora Whitehead 2018 ii Abstract Northeastern Ontario film exhibitor Leo Mascioli was described as a picture pioneer, a business visionary, “the boss of the Italians,” a strikebreaker and even an “enemy alien” by the federal government of Canada. Despite these various descriptors, his lasting legacy is as the person who brought entertainment to the region’s gold camps and built a movie theatre chain throughout the mining and resource communities of the area. The Porcupine Gold Rush—the longest sustained gold rush in North America—started in 1909, and one year later Mascioli began showing films in the back of his general store. Mascioli first came to the Porcupine Gold Camp as an agent for the mining companies in recruiting Italian labourers. He diversified his business interests by building hotels to house the workers, a general store to feed them, and finally theatres to entertain them. The Mascioli theatre chain, Northern Empire, was headquartered in Timmins and grew to include theatres from Kapuskasing to North Bay. His Italian connections, however, left him exposed to changes in world politics; he was arrested in 1940 and sent to an internment camp for enemy aliens during World War II. This dissertation examines cinema history from a local perspective. The cultural significance of the Northern Empire chain emerges from tracing its business history, from make-shift theatres to movie palaces, and the chain’s integration into the Hollywood-linked Famous Players Canadian national circuit.

Grant funding comes from the City of Indianapolis and the Capital Improvement Board and is awarded through a juried public panel process conducted by the Arts Council of Indianapolis.
