BIOGRAPHICAL NOTE

William Muschenheim, (1902-1990), was a modernist architect in New York in the 1930's. Muschenheim attended Williams College, 1919-21; Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1921-24; Behrens Master School of Architecture, Academy of Fine Arts, Vienna, Austria, 1925-29. He received the Behrens Prize in 1926, and taught at the University of Michigan from 1950-1973.

His work includes major alterations to the Hotel Astor, NY; Marine Transportation Building, 1939 New York World's Fair; S.R. Guggenheim Museum for Non-Objective Art, 1939; and numerous alterations to penthouses, apartment houses and private residences.

Muschenheim also worked for Peabody, Wilson & Brown, and Joseph Urban.

SCOPE AND CONTENT NOTE

The William Muschenheim Architectural Drawings and Papers span 1929-1957, with bulk dates 1931-1950. Muschenheim's papers document 130 separate jobs, and the visual material (described in RLIN VIM) consists of 3081 sheets of drawings. The projects mainly represent Muschenheim's work in New York City, but also include work in Albany (NY), Amenia (NY), Bridgehampton (NY), Chappaqua (NY), Hampton Bays (NY), Malverne (NY), Massapequa (NY), Nassau Point (Long Island), Washington (CT), Washington DC, Westhampton Beach (NY), and Woodstock (NY), among other locations.

William Muschenheim had numerous clients which included the following family members: Carl Muschenheim, Elsa Muschenheim, and Frederick A. Muschenheim. In addition to the many clients for whom Muschenheim did alteration work, he also worked with a wide variety of companies. Some of the companies include Bigelow Carpet Company, C.G. Flygare Inc., Excel Metal Cabinet Co., Inc., F. Schumacher & Co., Famaes Development, Hans Knoll, Howard & Schaffer, Inc., Kurt Versen Lamps, Inc., Ledlin Light Designers, Portland Cement Association, and Thonet Brothers, among many others.

ORGANIZATION AND ARRANGEMENT

Organization: The papers of William Muschenheim are organized according to his original filing system in which he interfiled the drawings, correspondence, specifications, and other papers for each job. There are a total of 130 numbered jobs (with gaps between jobs 11-17, 25-26, 28-29). Each job number may represent more than one project. Each client received a single job number no matter how many projects Muschenheim may have done for them.

Arrangement: Each job is numbered (1-130) and contains project names, dates, number of sheets of drawings that were originally housed with the papers, accession numbers, and folder level descriptions of the papers.

The finding aid records the original order of both the architectural drawings and their related papers, (i.e. correspondence, specifications, accounts, etc.). The drawings have been removed from the original files and stored and cataloged separately. The drawings are not described in this finding aid except to list the number of drawings under each project number, and their accession numbers. There are a total of 3081 sheets and 149 RLIN VIM records. It is worth noting that there are four projects for which there are no job numbers but have drawings, (RLIN VIM records NYDA94-F26 through NYDA94-F29).

An index of the drawings is also appended to the finding aid, with a complete list of corresponding RLIN VIM record numbers, project names, accession numbers, and locations.

Although the collection consists of a total of 30 boxes of archival material, boxes 21-29 contain only file dividers. These file dividers have been retained because they were written on by Muschenheim and may contain information useful to the researcher. Box 30 contains samples and is listed under job 79.

NOTES TO THE RESEARCHER

Job #: Muschenheim assigned each client a job number from 1 to 130. Each client received a single job number no matter how many projects Muschenheim may have done for them. Many job numbers contain more than one project because many of Muschenheim's clients hired him to work on more than one residence, building, etc.

Project: The project titles under this heading were the titles written on Muschenheim's original file folders. These titles do not necessarily contain complete information regarding all the projects for a given client. A list of all projects with complete title information is given under the heading "accession numbers and projects." (See below.)

Number of sheets: This heading represents the total number of architectural drawings accessioned for a particular job number. Please note that this number is the total amount of sheets for all projects under a given job number, and that the item accessioned is the sheet of paper, not the image(s) on it. For the number of sheets of drawings per project please refer to the index.

Accession numbers and projects: Each sheet of paper containing architectural drawings within a given project is assigned a single accession number. The accession numbers for this collection are used to record the order of drawings within a specific project. The accession numbers begin with the number 1986.004.00001, with the last five digits being numbered sequentially.

The project titles under this heading were supplied by the cataloger. They contain the complete name and address of each project under a given job number. The drawings are cataloged under these project titles in RLIN VIM.

Folders: The folders have been numbered sequentially according to the original order found in the Muschenheim files. After each folder number is the job number, followed by a short description of the folder contents. This version of the finding aid contains only the folders that had archival material and does not include the folder numbers for files that contained only drawings.
