Finding aid for the L. Garth Huxtable papers, 1913-2012

Series I. Project files, 1928-2012, undated

Physical Description: 99.2 linear feet (58 boxes, 23 flatfile folders, 6 rolls)

Scope and Content Note

This series contains the industrial design work from Huxtable's professional oeuvre including blueprints, drawings, sketches, renderings, photographs, models and product samples. His design process is well articulated in this series, progressing from product analysis and sketches to drawings and plans and finally models and product samples. Papers include correspondence, invoices and publicity materials such as clippings and catalogs. The bulk of the documentation included in this series dates from after Huxtable established his own firm in 1948. The Four Seasons materials contain documentation dating after Huxtable closed his office in 1980. It is often unclear if Huxtable was the principal designer for a project, and it is also not always certain whether specific designs were actually manufactured.
