Biographical Note
Julian Floyd Knox was born in Ponca, Oklahoma in 1930. He moved to Stockton, California where he attended Stockton High School
and the College of the Pacific, earning an AA in 1950. He served in the U.S. Army during the Korean War and upon his return
enrolled at U.C. Berkeley. He graduated in 1957 with a BA in Architecture.
Knox worked as a draftsman for a number of architects and engineers from 1956-1962, including Clayton Kantz, Delp Johnson,
John. A. Blume, John Bolles, Loubet & Glynn, August Waegmann, and Marquis & Stoller. In 1962, he became a partner at Kosevitz
& Knox where he stayed until 1967. He was admitted to the AIA Northern California chapter in 1964.
Later he returned to work at Marquis & Stoller for several years, eventually opening a solo practice where he worked until
his death in 2005.

System of Arrangement
The Julian F. Knox Collection is organized into two series: Personal Papers and Project Records. The collection arrived with
no evident order, so within each series an order has been imposed by the archivist.
Scope and Contents Note
The Personal Papers series is brief and includes reproductions of student drawings from classes at U.C. Berkeley, a photographic
portrait of Knox, a postcard from photographer Joshua Freiwald, a personal sketchbook, and a selection of Knox's line drawings,
silkscreen prints, and watercolors.
The Project Records contain architectural drawings, primarily from Knox's time as a solo practitioner with a small number
of projects done in collaboration with architect Janis Sulzinger. The majority of the projects represented in the collection
are residential, many of which relate to client Paul Vincent and his development companies.
