Fellheimer & Wagner

The Fellheimer & Wagner Architectural Drawings of Railroad Stations, 1915-1931, collection contains 1,315 architectural drawings--both original and reprographic-- created between 1915 and 1931 for railroad stations designed by Alfred Fellheimer (1875-1959) and Steward Wagner (1886-1958), architects practicing in New York City. The drawings range from highly rendered original design drawings to blueprint working drawings. Designing primarily from a Beaux-Arts approach--and later in a streamlined Art Deco and Moderne aesthetic--Fellheimer & Wagner were known for creating handsome structures with a strong sense of function and practicality.
