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.

Lambert Mims was public works commissioner and rotating mayor of Mobile from 1965 to 1985. During Mims' time as mayor/commissioner, the city of Mobile experienced the latter part of the modern civil rights movement, completed the Bayway, and unveiled the George C. Wallace Tunnel.

It witnessed the completion of the I-65 link across the Mobile-Tensaw Delta and celebrated the opening of the Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway. When first elected, Mims was the youngest city commissioner in Mobile's history.
