Guide to the Clarence L. Hutchisson Jr. Papers Guide to the Clarence L. Hutchisson Jr. Papers Descriptive Summary: Creator: Clarence L. Hutchisson Jr., 1902-1993 Title: Clarence L. Hutchisson Jr. Papers Dates: 1856-1956 (bulk 1927-1956) Quantity: 81.2 linear feet Abstract: Blueprints, correspondence, drawings, etching plates, news clippings, and a scrapbook related to the business dealings and genealogy of architect Clarence L. Hutchisson Jr. Accession: 10-09-267 ; 267-1993 Biographical Note: Clarence L. Hutchisson Jr., the last of the locally celebrated Hutchisson architects, was born in 1902 in Mobile, Alabama. From 1926 to 1932 Hutchisson worked in the office of his father, Clarence L. Hutchisson Sr. Between 1940 and 1945, Hutchisson trained as an engineer and would serve as chief architect for the Mobile Corps of Engineers. During his career, he designed a variety of structures in the Mobile area. Like his mother, Henrietta Homer Hutchisson, he was interested in the genealogy of the Homer family and he and his mother gathered information about several of his bloodlines. Much of this genealogical correspondence took place with his cousin Annie Homer Wilson and pertains to the Homer family in Nova Scotia, Canada. Hutchisson died in December 1993. Scope and Contents: This collection contains etching plates, news clippings, a scrapbook, and the business stamp of Clarence L. Hutchisson Jr. In addition, the collection is made up of a wide selection of correspondence, both business and private, contracts, building specifications, blueprints, and other related architectural documents. Of particular importance are the 200 architectural drawings of structures designed by the Hutchissons (ca. 1908-1972). These drawings are indexed by address as well as the client's name. However, there is no clear delineation between the business records (ca. 1910-1970) of the two men since the father and son worked together during the 1920s and 1930s. Also included are minutes and bulletins from the Mobile Housing Board (1939-1946), the Alabama Society of Architects (1949-1958), and the Alabama Association of Registered Architects (1933-1949). The majority of the personal papers belong to C. L. Hutchisson Jr. 21 cu. ft. Arrangement: Arranged into ten series: 1. Genealogy Research; 2. Newspaper Clippings; 3. Financials; 4.

  • 2019 Annual Report
    TEXT FROM THE PRESIDENT & EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR On behalf of the Dog River Clearwater Revival (DRCR) Board of Directors and our contracted staff, we thank everyone who, for the past twenty-five years, shared their time and resources with DRCR. Celebrating a quarter-century of promoting, protecting and improving the water quality of and access to Dog River and its urban tributary creeks was a significant milestone in the organization’s history. Most notable in our 2019 anniversary year was the award of a $328K EPA/Gulf of Mexico Program grant for implantation of the Comprehensive Trash Abatement Program for the Dog River Watershed. Identified as a priority project in the Dog River Watershed Management Plan (WMP) released in 2018, the problem of litter in our waterways brought us together in partnership with the Mobile Bay National Estuary Program, Mobile Baykeeper and Partners for Environmental Progress in a plan to reduce litter in the river by fifty percent by the end of 2021. We’d also like to thank the City of Mobile, Council and Administration, for supporting the goals of the WMP and our EPA grant. Further, this project allowed DRCR to expand our part-time paid team to two with the addition of an assistant project director. As we enter 2020, we look forward to an exciting year. We’ll hosts more cleanups and other fun events like the spring Mudbottom Music Festival and the Great Drift Paddle along the Dog River Scenic Blueway, celebrating its tenth year. The fall will see another of our popular events celebrating its 10th anniversary – the Dog River Fishing Tournament and of course don’t miss the one time a year opportunity to run/walk across the iconic Dog River Bridge during our annual Ghost Chase 5K & 1-mile Goblin Gallop.
