Materials from Steve Padgett and the University of Kansas School of Architecture and Design

 Sub-Series

Scope and Contents

Includes incoming correspondence to Curtis Besinger, copies of magazines and journals with articles by or about Besinger, and architectural elevations, plans, and other drawings done by Besinger, as well as photographs of areas designed by Besinger. These materials also include posters and exhibit labels from an exhibit that Steve Padgett curated on Besinger for the KU School of Architecture and Design in 1996.

Several of the drawings and related items Besinger completed as "Birthday Box" or "Christmas Box" gifts to Frank Lloyd Wright, items that the Taliesin Fellows created as gifts and placed in a box that Lloyd Wright opened on Christmas Day or on his birthday every year. Also in this sub-series are materials possibly related to projects and other items Besinger worked on found elsewhere in this collection.
