Title: MS 0837, The George Washington University American Architecture and Historic Preservation Graduate research papers collection.

Processors: Anne McDonough, Susan Philpott, Jessica Richardson

Date: July 2015 [Finding Aid last updated October 2015]

Scope and Content Note: The collection comprises unpublished research papers in the field of Washington, D.C. architecture and historic preservation, completed in partial fulfillment of the requirements for graduate courses under Professor Richard Longstreth at The George Washington University.

While the specifics of the courses changed over the decades, the assignment generally called for students to select a property in the metropolitan area, research the property's design, architect/builder, client(s), function(s), materials, construction, urban context, and morphological developments; and write a 10-15 page report with a detailed descriptive analysis of the property's physical characteristics (original and subsequent, both of exterior and interior) as well as an analytical discussion of the property's historical significance. Reports were often required to include at least four photographs (general views, details, and context) taken by the student, as well as at least one site and/or floor plan.

Other assignments included papers covering the development of a building or landscape type; characteristics of architecture, landscape architecture or planning in a region or community during a specified time period; the work of an architect, landscape architect, planner, or master builder; the development of a building technology or material; a detailed analysis of a single building, landscape design, or plan; or the development of a community, district, or campus.
